Eternal Bliss™, The Internet’s Most Relaxing Website
If your daily routine feels slightly short of zen, the fine folks at Red Bull Music have flipped their all-nighter switch to curate a bit of guided relaxation. Just days ahead of the eclectic month-long RBMA Festival in New York City, the energy drink-powered company and culture engine invites us to take part in a customizable meditation session. Trademarked under the name “Eternal Bliss” the website offers users a variety of immersive, full screen meditation “zones” with scrolling text as your guide. Various words in the copy are highlighted, and when clicked can be switched to more accurately represent your state of bliss…if not vocabulary preference. The looping background images range from an attractive young woman in a field bundling hay, to a spacey anatomy scan, to a bald man having his head massaged (which is personally the least relaxing thing to watch). Either way, the power is in your mouse click.
The music for the meditation sessions, which can last from 1 minute to an infinite duration, was created by past Red Bull Music Academy attendees, including Nightwave, Suzanne Kraft, and James Pants. Each track is tuned to the mystically hypnotic pitch of 432 Hz, the preferred tuning for the key of A for new age aficionados.
If you’re planning on catching the full marathon month of Red Bull’s festival, be sure to take a few relaxing breaks and sink into an image of a bearded man meditating beneath a waterfall.
