Restless Minds Rejoice: How inHarmony is Redefining Meditation

If you’re anything like me, the mere thought of meditation makes you cringe. Sitting still and “clearing my mind” feels so unattainable, it might as well be an Olympic event. The overactive thoughts are relentless, and don’t even get me started on yoga class. While everyone else is zen’d out in silent bliss, I’m that person who’s ommmm-ing with one eye open, secretly judging everyone’s outfits. Finding that elusive "zone" feels impossible when your mind refuses to simply shut the hell up.

Craig Goldberg, co-owner of inHarmony, knows this struggle all too well. So much so that he set out to tackle it head-on with an innovative approach to wellness. We caught up with Craig to discuss how sound and vibration are helping folks achieve true relaxation through deep, transformative meditative states—no substances needed.

Welcome to the World of Vibroacoustic Therapy

For nearly eight years, Craig and his crew have been cookin’ up what they call "relaxation furniture." And no, this isn’t your grandpa’s La-Z-Boy. It’s a deep dive into the world of vibroacoustic therapy. "Vibroacoustic therapy is a fancy way of saying vibration and sound therapy," Craig explains. The science behind it dates back to the late 1970s and explores how different frequencies of sound and vibration impact our physiology, neurology, and overall well-being.

The idea is genius-level simple: using sound and vibration together guides the body into a parasympathetic state—a.k.a. calm and relaxed mode—to counteract the relentless stress and anxiety of modern life. "The more calm and relaxed you are, the better your body is going to perform," Craig declares, like it’s the most obvious thing in the world. And, in a way, it kind of is. Your body was designed to run like a well-oiled machine, but all that stress and anxiety is gumming up the works.

“A body in a sympathetic or stressed state is in survival mode, and has a different set of priorities,” he explains. “But the priority of a calm and relaxed body is simply to maintain itself and operate optimally."

A New Approach to Wellness

Let’s face it. The demands of modern life are overwhelming, and humans just weren’t built for the constant barrage of information and tasks that we face on a daily basis. "This society that we've co-created breeds stress and anxiety,” Craig says. “We’ve all got more to do over the course of the day than there is time to get it done.” With endless to-do lists, relational demands, and the constant pressures of being a good citizen (and that’s on a good day!) it’s not hard to see why we feel like we're always running on empty.

Craig’s solution? Strip it back to the basics. Use sound and vibration to reset the nervous system and help the body function like it was designed to. "Our downtime is just as important as our uptime, and sound and vibration are the most foundational tools to help us cope," he explains, and after hearing his take, it’s hard to argue. With inHarmony’s cutting-edge products, users can finally hit pause on the chaos and give their minds and bodies the reset and recharge they so desperately need.

What I find fascinating about inHarmony’s technology is its ability to mimic the effects and benefits of psychedelic healing—without the substances. "We harmonize the brain with the body by synchronizing the frequencies that your ears hear with the vibrations your body feels," Craig says, referring to their flagship product, the inHarmony Sound Lounge. And with talk like that, you know I had to try it.

A Skeptic’s Journey with inHarmony’s Sound Lounge

I’ll admit it—I was skeptical. As someone who struggles to get into meditation, the idea of reaching some kind of zen through sound and vibration seemed pretty far-fetched. Still, my curiosity wouldn’t allow me to pass up the chance to try it.

I settled into the Sound Lounge and all at once, it felt like every sense but sight was engaged. The vibrations coursed through my body and the sound enveloped me. The inundation left no room for doubt or distraction. It was like my overactive mind had finally found something it couldn’t argue with, but at no point was it uncomfortable or unsettling. I felt grounded and guided, and there was a sense of safety in knowing that this experience was backed by science.

In contrast to psychedelic journeys, where there’s often a sense of apprehension about how your body will react, the inHarmony Sound Lounge is a deep dive into healing that feels totally safe and in control. It’s like meditation for the overactive mind, but with a twist. Something close to lucid dreaming, where you’re both fully aware and totally lost in the experience.

And, surprisingly, it was fun. It reminded me that healing doesn’t always have to be this serious, solemn process, or leave you feeling exhausted. The inHarmony Sound Lounge blends relaxation with a sense of playfulness, to give you an experience that feels, strangely enough, enjoyably therapeutic.

Meeting You Where You Are

The fact that you don’t need to be a meditation guru to benefit from inHarmony’s technology is one of my favorite things about it. "Our technology serves two kinds of people: those who can't meditate and those who are seasoned meditators," Craig explains. For newbies, the sound and vibration do all the heavy lifting, ‘til you slip into a meditative state without even realizing it.

And for the pros out there? Get ready to go even deeper. "When seasoned meditators use our technology, they often reach depths they didn’t know were possible," Craig says with a grin. "And we're not creating a crutch. Over time, users can form neural pathways that allow them to reach meditative alpha brainwave states independently.”

As someone who is all about accessing what you’ve already got in order to heal and grow, this is music to my ears.

A Breakthrough for Busy Minds

In a world that’s constantly demanding more, more, more, finding a way to truly unwind isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for our survival.

“I want people to know that stress and anxiety are the underlying root of so many ailments and issues that we deal with chronically,” Craig declares passionately. “The medical world is not correlating stress and anxiety to some of these dis-ease states that are killing Americans. But when we take it away, we see a lot of those chronic ailments fade away too.”

I mean, who doesn’t want to take advantage of the health perks of meditation? For too long, it’s felt like there’s little hope for us chatter brains and fidgety folks, but this… this just might be the lifeline we’ve been waiting for.
