Meditation or Aesthetics or Ambient of Music
Aesthetics of music is a branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of art, beauty and taste in music, and with the creation or appreciation of beauty in music. In the pre-modern tradition, the aesthetics of music or musical aesthetics explored the mathematical and cosmological dimensions of rhythmic and harmonic organization.
As an early 20th-century French composer, Erik Satie used such Dadaist-inspired explorations to create an early form of ambient/background music that he labeled “furniture music”. This he described as being the sort of music that could be played during a dinner to create a background atmosphere for that activity, rather than serving as the focus of attention.
I think of it as melodious, softening the noises of the knives and forks at dinner, not dominating them, not imposing itself. It would fill up those heavy silences that sometime fall between friends dining together. It would spare them the trouble of paying attention to their own banal remarks. And at the same time it would neutralize the street noises which so indiscreetly enter into the play of conversation. To make such music would be to respond to a need.
Background music for meditation should be calm, relaxing, and to evoke a warm feeling that allows viewers to feel safe and comfortable. Moreover, meditating music should quiet the inner voice, allowing the viewer to stay in the present moment and focus on immersing in meditation.

TMRpcm
PCM(Pulse Width Modulation)/WAV playback direct from SD card
Samples Per second(Hz): 16000
Main formats: WAV files, 8-bit, 8-32khz Sample Rate, mono.
Voice: Yes
Music: No / Yes
Qwiic MP3 Trigger
The Qwiic MP3 Trigger is designed to operate at 3.3V and must not be powered above 3.6V as this is the maximum operating voltage of microSD cards. Otherwise, the board can also be powered through the Qwiic connector.
MP3 and ATtiny84
At the heart of the Qwiic MP3 Trigger is the WT2003S MP3 decoder IC. This IC reads MP3s from the microSD card and will automatically mount the SD card as a jump drive if USB is detected. The ATtiny84A receives I2C commands and controls the MP3 decoder.
Audio Amplifier
The speaker is boosted by a Class-D mono amplifier capable of outputting up to 1.4W. Both outputs have volume controlled by the SET_VOLUME command and is selectable between 32 levels.
Audio Outputs
This is a friction fit type connector; simply push stranded core wire into the hole and the connector will grip the wire, speaker as Dayton audio reference 3″ full-range drive.
Voice: Yes
Music: Yes

Meditation Music
Music Meditation has many wonderful benefits for helping people with control meditation may significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, COVID-19, HIV, TMJD, aphasia, ADHD, cancer, and pain; and enhance peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being. Music Meditation can also lift your mood, slow your breathing, and create other stress-inducing changes.
From mood enhancement and relaxation to full-blown oneness with the cosmos, music has the ability to powerfully shift our state of mind. Meditation is not that different. Meditation lowers the stress hormone cortisol, helps us sleep better, and rewires the brain with a host of positive emotional qualities. The goal of both music and meditation is to create a powerful and positive shift in our mental state.
Music is a reliable source of transformational experience for many, and we are attracted to music for the same reasons that meditators meditate. Music and meditation both allow a fuller and richer experience of our emotions. They stop our incessant and often negative mental chatter and offer us an opportunity to inhabit the present moment more fully and meaningfully. These are all important for good health and happiness in human beings.
Meditation and music are calming, transformative activities that can improve health in multiple ways. Research studies indicate that meditation can protect of a heart attack or stroke, improve sleep, relieve pain, sharpen mind and memory, lift mood, and ease anxiety.

Me, Luc suffered on 2013 a massive stroke that let me with an aphasia condition. In 2014 I could speak words and make myself understand by using the computer, and the good thing is that I did not lose my abilities. In 2015 Norma, my wife, was doing meditation and praying and an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication. In the narrow sense, the term refers to an act of supplication or intercession directed towards a deity or a deified ancestor. More generally, prayer can also have the purpose of thanksgiving or praise, and in comparative religion is closely associated with more abstract forms of meditation and with charms or spells.
In this view, the ultimate goal of prayer is to help train a person to focus on divinity through philosophy and intellectual contemplation (meditation). This approach was taken by the other medieval rationalists. Meditation engages thought, imagination, emotion, and desire. This mobilization of faculties is necessary in order to deepen our convictions of faith, prompt the conversion of our heart, and strengthen our will to follow. Some modalities of alternative medicine employ prayer.
Glasses LED Meditation
First Luc researched the scientific principles behind available biofeedback technologies, the ways to design and build the actual sensors Meditation Glasses LED. Arduino Pro Mini, RGB Smart NeoPixel, potentiometer, slide switch, USB LiPoly charger, lithium ion battery, wire, Etc… To find the solution yielding the best results, constructed proof-of-concept prototypes.

Today while I was doing some cleanup around the office I came across some letters and messages from people who had contacted me over the past few years either to ask for work or to ask to distribute some of my software products. I had kept them aside as a reminder on how not to do business. It is a pet peeve of mind that when you communicate on business purposes to do it properly and to write well and to try to do your best to use proper grammar and spelling.
I might be showing my age, but it does gets me very mad when I receive some business message that is either very badly written or written as it you are sending a SMS message, email or comments like the title of this post. There are no reason for either ones, especially the first one as nowadays spelling and grammar correctors are ubiquitous on all computer platforms. If somebody wants to find a job or wants to do business with someone it looks very bad on you when you send messages like that as the first impression you make to your prospective client, employer, or partner is one that you cannot even bother to put your thoughts down and write them properly.
Professionally I write thousands of words daily on various subjects and for various purposes, all of it with minimal editing and proofreading, so I am the first person guilty of grammatical and spelling mistakes, but when you come across as if you have no idea of what you are talking about due to poor writing skills or worse you consider business communication no more important than a quick SMS and Viber to your best buddies you will have problems going forward with any goals you might have in mind. This is not just for the younger generations out there, a lot of people of my generation suffer from the same problems.
I deal with people from all over the world daily and I do understand that if English is not your primary language, you might have some problems in communicating perfectly. I know from experience as English is not my mother tongue, French is. I have also spoken English since early childhood, and essentially have studied and worked in English since my late teens so English is my primary language these days, even though that at home now for the past 2-3 years we have switched from using English to using Spanish. I find the same problem with French and Spanish speaking people, that the quality of the written communication has dropped down dramatically over the past 20 years, when it should have increase a lot with all the spelling and grammar correction facilities we now have. It seems that people just don’t care anymore.
Wake up people, you have the tools to communicate in a better and more effective way. If you are too lazy to even take the few second to communicate effectively life will pass you by as where it counts people will think that you are too lazy to work effectively. Also take pride in you language as if you do not use it properly who will? For those like me who communicate mostly in languages that are own, take pride in learning it properly so that you can communicate and work effectively.
Take this advise seriously as we human can make something with our lives and progress with effective communications and those who do not even make the effort to do so will be left behind. It is not just an old consultant like me who says it, it is the entire business world. When faced to choose between two candidates, which one do you think a decision maker will select, the one that sounds like a professional or the one that sounds like some street gang member?

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
Luc is continuing education numerous certifications temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). TMJD is an umbrella term covering pain and dysfunction of the muscles of mastication and the temporomandibular joints. The most important feature is pain, followed by restricted mandibular movement, and noises from the temporomandibular joints during jaw movement. Although TMJD is not life-threatening, it can be detrimental to quality of life; this is because the symptoms can become chronic and difficult to manage. Examples include: headache, facial pain, migraine, tension headache, myofascial pain, pain elsewhere, such as the teeth or neck, diminished auditory acuity, etc…
Physiotherapy for TMJD may include the use of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), which may override pain by stimulation of superficial nerve fibers and lead to pain reduction which extends after the time where the TENS is being actually being applied, possibly due to release of endorphins. Others recommend the use of ultrasound, theorized to produce tissue heating, alter blood flow and metabolic activity at a level that is deeper than possible with surface heat applications. There is tentative evidence that low level laser therapy may help with pain.
Relaxation techniques include progressive muscle relaxation and meditation. It has been suggested that TMJD involves increased sensitivity to external stimuli leading to an increased sympathetic response with cardiovascular and respiratory alterations. Relaxation techniques cause reduced sympathetic activity, including muscle relaxation and reducing sensitivity to external stimuli, and provoke a general sense of well being and reduced anxiety.
Aphasia
September 25th of 2013, Luc suffered a massive stroke that let him with an aphasia condition. Due to loss of blood flow or damaged tissue, sustained during the injury aphasia may become permanent. In a way it was good to be here because I received the best medical attention I could ever have. I had a long way to recover but I managed to improve a lot. I just have an aphasia condition that does not allow me to speak, I can speak words and make myself understand by using the computer, and the good thing is that I did not lose my abilities.
Meditation
Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, activity, song, or video to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. Luc has been in touch since that time and for the past years has been discussing a method of helping people that control meditation may significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, COVID-19, HIV, TMJD, aphasia, ADHD, cancer, and pain; and enhance peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being.
First, for the practice to be successful, one should dedicate the practice, and set out the goal of the meditation session. One may decide to either practice mindfulness of breathing while seated or standing or lying down or walking, or to alternate seated, standing, lying down and walking meditation. Then one may concentrate on the breath going through one’s nose: the pressure in the nostrils on each inhalation, and the feeling of the breath moving along the upper lip on each exhalation.
Scientifically Demonstrated Benefits
Meditators experienced in focused attention meditation showed a decrease in habitual responding recommends practice of 20 minutes twice per day, may illustrate a lessening of emotionally reactive and automatic responding behavior. It has been scientifically demonstrated that mindfulness of breathing enhances connectivity in the brain. The practice of focusing one’s attention changes the brain in ways to improve that ability over time; the brain grows in response to meditation. That practice of mindfulness meditation for two to six months by people undergoing long-term psychiatric or medical therapy could produce small improvements in anxiety, pain, or depression. A scientific statement that meditation may be a reasonable adjunct practice to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, with the qualification that meditation needs to be better defined in higher-quality clinical research of these disorders.
Deep Meditation System
First Luc researched the scientific principles behind available biofeedback technologies, the ways to design and build the actual sensors and then the vast array of commercially available medical sensor that were waiting to be integrated in a comprehensive solution. Hardware and software solution that uses various biosensors (EEG, ECG, EKG, TENS, EMS, pulse, skin resistance, skin temperature, dissolved blood oxygen, etc.) to facilitate deep meditation in patients. We did the preliminary research, tested various types of sensors to find the solution yielding the best results, constructed proof-of-concept prototypes, and planned production prototypes. 2005 – Meditation EEG, and 2015 – Meditation Glasses LED.
That product will have multiple versions that can be sold to consumers and health professionals alike. This control meditation may significantly reduce stress, anxiety, depression, COVID-19, HIV, TMJD, aphasia, ADHD, cancer, pain, etc… Enhance peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being.

Microphone
A microphone is a device a transducer that converts sound into an electrical signal. Microphones are used in many applications. They are also used in computers for recording voice, speech recognition, VoIP, and for non-acoustic purposes such as ultrasonic sensors or knock sensors.
Electret microphone is a type of electrostatic capacitor-based microphone, which eliminates the need for a polarizing power supply by using a permanently charged material. Unlike other condenser microphones, electret types require no polarizing voltage, but they normally contain an integrated preamplifier, which does require a small amount of power.
SparkFun Sound Detector
SparkFun Item: SEN-12642
The SparkFun Sound Detector is a small and very easy to use audio sensing board with three different outputs. The Sound Detector not only provides an audio output, but also a binary indication of the presence of sound, and an analog representation of its amplitude. The 3 outputs are simultaneous and independent, so you can use as many or as few as you want at once.
The envelope output allows you to easily read amplitude of sound by simply measuring the analog voltage. Gain can be adjusted with a through-hole resistor, to change the threshold of the binary output pin as well.

SparkFun Qwiic MP3 Trigger
Sometimes you just need an MP3 to play. Whether it’s a theme song as you enter the room or a power song when you are working out. The SparkFun Qwiic MP3 Trigger takes care of all the necessary requirements, all you need to do is send a simple I2C command and listen to whatever is on your micro SD card. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1″-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.
When a USB-C cable is connected to the Qwiic MP3 Trigger the contents of the microSD card appears as a jump drive. Simply plug in the Qwiic MP3 Trigger and you’ll be transferring MP3s. Sound output is provided via a 3.5mm headphone jack or poke-home connector allowing an external speaker to be connected without soldering.
We’ve written an extensive Arduino library to make MP3 playing over I2C a breeze. Play tracks, change volume, play next/previous, check if track is playing, stop play, change EQ, and change I2C address are all supported.
- 3.3V
- Volume, EQ setting, and I2C address settings stored in non-volatile memory and loaded at each power-on.
- microSD supports 128MB to 32GB cards.
- Trigger pins 1, 2, 3, and 4.
- Up to 255 tracks can be loaded onto the SD card and triggered via the I2C interface.
- USB-C Connector.
- Qwiic Connector.

To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles, And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep No more; and by a sleep, to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That Flesh is heir to?
