About

Meditation DNA is a site developed to help people looking for sources to assist them with meditation through the use of music and sound. The intent of the site is to bring many of the meditation benefits to the western culture without requiring complete change of lifestyle or to follow a specific path for religious reasons.

Meditation music on this site was developed by analysis of several of the main modalities in use today and from ancient and traditional meditation forms. Although they may be tuned specifically to frequencies found in traditional religious forms, such as the chakra tuning, or the science of brainwave entrainment, these sounds are common to the human experience and may be freely used by anyone of any religious or cultural background, eastern or western. They carry no burden of attachment to a specific study. They are a combination of the various theories brought together to enhance a specific healing or mental state.

The team developing these meditations are students of meditation and proponents of its many benefits, but are not presenting themselves as masters or gurus of any particular religion.

The team does have a certain mastery of sound techniques and musical depth that brings a different level of detail in these meditation tracks. This level of tonal meditation is only possible with a combination of advanced audio technique, a thorough knowledge of music theory, and highly developed vocal training.

In addition several team members are long term practical meditators who test and analyze each toning track to verify the effects and intentions of the meditation. Their meditation work continues to open new avenues for exploration of tones and soundscapes. Each completed track is used in further meditations to study its effects. These discoveries can be surprising. From time to time, information on their studies may be added to the comments about the meditation.

Here are the musical members of our meditation development team.

Christopher Hughes is a professional in audio engineering and composing. His background includes scoring, song composing and soundscapes. He has studied meditation for several years, and has studied the correlation between sound and energy healing, the structure of vibrational levels and sound in biophysics. His compositions are structured on several levels of music, meditation, physics and sound theory. He adds his own voice for bass human tones.

Miriam Boncato has an advanced degree in music emphasizing composition and vocal training. She has a background in classical music as well as popular music and healing tones. Her pacific islander heritage enhances her natural abilities to sing microtonal and channeled healing tones through several octaves. She is a practicioner of meditation and visualization, and energy healing.
