"Do" the Present
The Tao of the Kung is a CD, based on the note, middle F, above middle C on the piano. This note is also the Heart Chakra and is referred to as the F-Tone. But the CD is really about learning to feel comfortable and quiet in the present moment . Check it out below, there's a lo-fi mp3 version, play it and hear for yourself. It may take you to a place where time is a non-issue. Consider the Tao of the Kung a peak through the keyhole into the nature of this vibratory experience of life.
The F-Tone is the Tonic of Nature
The F-Tone note is middle "F" above middle "C" on the piano, (698Hz). It has been referred to as the "tonic of nature". The Voice of the Silence by H. P. Blavatsky says: "The Northern Buddhists, and all Chinamen, in fact, find in the deep roar of some of the great and sacred rivers the key-note of Nature. Hence the simile. (Middle F, the "F-Tone", is the note associated with the 4th, green, heart chakra). "It is a well-known fact in Physical Science, as well as in Occultism, that the aggregate sound of Nature-such as heard in the roar of great rivers, the noise produced by the waving tops of trees in large forests, or that of a city heard at a distance -- is a definite single tone of quite an appreciable pitch". This is shown by physicists and musicians. Professor Rice (Chinese Music) shows that the Chinese recognized the fact thousands of years ago by saying that "the waters of the Hoang-ho rushing by, intoned the kung" called "the great tone" or "the great emptiness" in Chinese music; and he shows this tone corresponding with the F, "considered by modern physicists to be the actual tonic of Nature." Also mentioned in "Principles of Physics", saying that "this tone is held to be the middle F of the piano; which may, therefore, be considered the key-note of Nature" Middle F is also the tone of the Green, Heart Chakra. From atoms to galaxies, everything is vibrating. Even seemingly inanimate objects are made up of these oscillating atoms. At the atomic level, rocks, dirt and trees are just as much alive as me or you, vibrant and vibrating. Nothing gets wasted, nothing gets used up, nothing dies. Everything is alive, in the present moment, there is no other.
Everything is vibrating...

Some vibrations go unnoticed, like subsonic vibrations and supersonic vibrations as well. B-Flat is a a fourth or fifth of F and for the last 10 million years or so it has been playing that B flat out of the event horizon of a black hole in the Perseus galaxy at sufficient volume to be detected from Earth. It bellows b-flat 57 octaves below middle C. Those vibrations are creating extremely intense heat, power great enough to escape the black hole, that's some serious tone! If you listen closely to the Tao of the Kung you will notice the B-flat presence throughout. It resolves to the "F" but the b-flat comes in and out against the constant middle f undertone. The B-Flat Mountain Range in Antarctica also plays b-flat through its fluted, wind eroded mountain rocks. "The multi-directional winds in this eerie and isolated wasteland create ventifacts of an exceptional nature, gouged with pits and decorated with flowing flutes and arching curves."
