Host Mary Jacobsen interviews Larissa Snorek, authorized Christian Science teacher, about Christian Science founder Mary Baker Eddy’s transformative healing experience in 1866, which led her to found a religion based on “divine laws of spiritual healing.”  
          
Snorek discusses common misconceptions about Christian Science; what happens during the healing work of practitioners; and what Christian Science has in common with and how it differs from other Christian denominations. She explains how her own spiritual quest led her to travel to more than 20 countries as a practitioner of Christian Science, and why she finds “deep peace” in her religious work.

Nobel physicist Frank Wilczek sees beauty as a compass for truth, discovery, and meaning. His book, A Beautiful Question, is a long meditation on the question: “Does the world embody beautiful ideas?” He’s the unusual scientist willing to analogize his discoveries about the deep structure of reality with deep meaning in the human everyday.

Frank Wilczek — Why Is the World So Beautiful?

Musician Jahnavi Harrison examines the ancient practise of mantra recitation and charts the spread of mantras from their Eastern origins to Western pop-culture.

The origin of the word ‘mantra’ lies in the ancient Sanskrit language. It means literally ‘mana’ or mind/heart and ‘tra’ to transport or transcend. In a religious context, Jahnavi explains, a mantra is a sacred sound formula - an arrangement of words with meaning, that have the power to connect the reciter with a specific spiritual goal. But the meaning need not necessarily be understood in order to have an effect, just as you don’t need to know about all the ingredients in cough syrup to feel it doing something.

Om, believed by Hindus to be a 'primordial sacred sound' is perhaps the most well known of the traditional Eastern mantras. Jahnavi introduces us to an extraordinary recording of 10,000 people chanting Om as part of a project organised by the Rubin Museum of Art in Manhatten. We also hear the music of George Harrison which features this ancient chant.

The belief of Hindus and Buddhists, that reciting mantras can transform the body and mind, are now the subject of much scientific study which has shown that regular chanting brings about changes within the brain. In addition to reaping the spiritual and cognitive benefits, Jahnavi explains that she chants daily in order to put on a suit of "sonic armour" that seems to protect her from the noise and intensity of the urban environment.

Tiny Leaves - Notes on Belonging was released in 2017 and has now been reworked by a host of artists. The album, an exploration of landscapes was inspired by the Welsh term 'Cynefin'. When translated it means the environment in which you live, to which you are naturally acclimatised.
The beautiful vocals and talents of Julianna Barwick rework 'Cynefin'. An uplifting melancholia results alongside crafted sounds that envelop and delve deep into the soul, setting the tone as the first single of the highly anticipated Notes on Belonging rework album.
Other artists on the forthcoming rework album include Haiku Salut, Oscuro, Billion One and Ink Project

I never liked the e-mail sounds I found on the net for the 'You've Got Mail!' alarm. They all sound like that antique AOL sound somehow. So here's something much more airy and ambient.  Simply load it into your e-mail client or use it with your web client (I use Checker Plus for GMail).
