I've always been a big fan of natural sounds vs. synthesized sounds. We listen to so much stuff that is "non-organic" or mechanical. From the blare of traffic horns to the buzzes and beeps of our cell phones, we're surrounded by a horrible sonic soup of unnatural sounds.
Researchers have proven that our bodies respond well to natural sounds -- the sounds of nature or the sound created by classical style instruments (instead of electrical or synthesized sounds.)
But one thing that has been lacking in the marketplace is an alarm clock that incorporates a natural sound instead of a beep or a buzz.
Well, I recently discovered a fabulous alarm clock that has been around for a while. Maybe you've heard of it. It's the
Zen Alarm Clock.
This clock comes in both digital and analog (normal clock face) styles. The alarm is a chime that is run gently at gradually increasing intervals. So you don't wake up startled by a loud buzz or mechanical beep.
If you're like me and you like to meditate or work with a few affirmations to "create your day" when you are waking up, you know how precious those few waking moments are in the morning when you're still in that delicate Alpha brainwave state.
Well, the
zen alarm clock and its beautiful Tibetan style chime help you to maintain that Alpha state and wake up slowly. So if you use a
zen alarm clock, you'll find it easier to remember your dreams. And you'll enjoy some powerful moments as you wake up which are perfect for setting your intentions for your day and doing affirmations.
I'm such a fan of this clock that I've written a review of it. You can learn more about the clock and how it works here:
Zen Alarm ClockSince I started using the clock I find it easier to maintain a positive emotional state throughout the day. I wake up less cranky and more ready to have a fabulous day! (And I am a heavy sleeper who usually HATES getting up in the morning!)
