Over the years it has been really interesting for me to hear from small groups using the n.o.w. Tone Therapy System, even though I’ll admit the feedback doesn’t surprise me anymore. I have learned by now how powerful these tones are. Having come to see how they relate to the individual, I have grown to understand that they manage this same connection in settings where more than one listener is present. It is beautiful to hear how consistently the speakers help people drop into presence, together.

A recovery group, a mindfulness class, a therapy circle, and several work teams using n.o.w. before a meeting—these are people we’ve heard from and they describe the same thing: within the 3 minutes of one n.o.w. session, the energy in the room shifts. Everyone quiets down, the tension softens, and what becomes a shared calm stretches past when the tones have faded to their end. The tones do the work—no guiding, no effort—just the three minutes of listening and everyone comes together, gentler. n.o.w. just blows my mind in its capabilities, and what it takes charge of all by itself.

Facilitators often say it feels like a “reset button” that brings people into a collective center. What really moves me is how n.o.w. helps create this sense of coherence, of hearts and minds aligning in a quiet, natural harmony. We are in this world with others, and the more softly we can move amongst each other makes everything way better.

I love the reminder from these groups: peace and connection aren’t just personal—they’re something we can share.

Like me, I’m sure every day you’re pulled in a too many directions—responsibilities and noise, life and thoughts and snacks and calls, and plenty of scrolling in-between. It’s easy to forget who we really are beneath it all. One thing n.o.w. Tone Therapy does well is help us return to that quiet center, that place of balance and awareness that is our true nature.

Unlike music designed to entertain or meditation tracks meant to guide, n.o.w. is a living sound experience. It’s not linear; it doesn’t follow a beat or a plan. Instead, it unfolds in the present moment, just like life. When you listen, your nervous system begins to let go of its usual tension. The mind softens its grip on the past and the future, and the body starts to remember what ease feels like.

The tones work on a deep level, gently helping to release the patterns of overthinking and over-doing that keep us from simply being. It’s not about effort. There’s nothing to learn, no technique to master, REALLY! You just listen for three minutes, even better if twice a day. More if you like. In that space of listening, something natural begins to realign.

People often describe the experience as “coming home.” Not to a place, but to themselves—to a quieter awareness that’s always been there. That’s what we mean by true nature. It’s not something we have to create; it’s something we uncover when the noise subsides.

As you listen, the tones help your energy balance itself. You may notice more calm, more clarity, and a growing sense of compassion—for yourself and others. And that’s how n.o.w. contributes to something larger: as each person reconnects with their own balance, the world itself begins to shift toward harmony.

Three minutes. Twice a day. A return to your true nature—simply by listening. Dang!!! 

3 Minutes to Reset: Using n.o.w. in the Office

I know how fast-paced a workday is, and I even working in the mindfulness space I face deadlines just like anyone else. It’s hard to get the mental break even when you know how, and it’s so easy to put off until later, after the work is done. But here’s something people keep reminding even me me about the n.o.w. Tone Therapy System: three minutes is all it takes to reset everything. Lol! It’s so true, and it works, and I’ve gotten back into it myself recently as I concentrate on our work for Solu.

A Small Pause Leads to Big Shifts

Many of n.o.w.’s customers keep their n.o.w. speaker right on their desk. When their shoulders start to tense or their mind starts racing, they press play. In just three minutes, they’re reminded to breathe, unclench, and get centered again. Instead of grabbing another coffee or scrolling through emails, they choose sound. It makes the difference. Recently, I found that as I got stuck beginning new emails, rather than pushing I stopped and played my own set which is always nearby. And the emails got written. Same for this blog, actually!!!!

It’s not just about feeling calmer. After that quick reset of Tones, we all get back to work sharper, more focused, and ready to enjoy the doing. For myself, answers and words come walking in shortly after a session.

Why It WORKS in the Office (n.o.w. might just be your best new employee!)

• Short but powerful: Three minutes fits between calls and  tasks, yet is just long enough to make a real difference.
• Zero effort: No playlists, no scripts, no complicated steps, you don’t even have to meditate—just press play and let the Tones carry the moment.
• Calm without slowing down: Unlike background music or white noise, n.o.w. tones keep relax you but help with alertness. It’s crazy and true.

Our customers Tell Us

From writers, managers, execs, also busy parents using their home office or not , feel n.o.w. offers them a quiet retreat. We have boiled down the feedback to this: after three minutes with n.o.w., people feel clearer, lighter, and re-energized.

Even for me it is not easy, and I’m a co-designer! But the n.o.w. pause is not like a pause at all, it’s a game-changer and it puts things back in order to start again.
