Leaving the Temple 2020 is a
visual re-work of track 1 from my 2018 release The Veil (That Separates Us). While composing The Veil’ I
have allowed the intuitive personality and voice of each synthesizer to express
its drones and soft noises while guiding me through the creative process
of composing each musical piece. In
order to preserve the synth-soul of each instrument and while programming their
sounds, I have encouraged each synth’s voice to sing and shine through as they
were designed to do.
Graffiti, murals and wall art is a regular feature here on my blog. Every summer I stroll around my artsy areas looking to photograph any new street art that catches my eye and was pleasantly surprised to find these gems by a group of local artists. I'll be posting more photos soon so stay tuned! Enjoy and have a good one!
When I began practicing yoga several years ago, I took various classes before I chose my preferred styles of Hatha, Kundalini and Chakra yogas. I kept those precious class handouts and refer to them to this day. The adage that Meditation is Prayer, Prayer is Meditation still rings true for me.
There are many forms of meditation to choose from such as sight, touch, smell, incense, sound, music, etc. This month's post is focused on music for meditation. I've chosen these eclectic videos of OM, Tibetan and Buddhist Monk Chants as I hope they will enhance your practice and give you the great inner peace and happiness that they have given me.
Prior to writing my first series of music for yoga and meditation in 2016, I sourced videos online and at my local library. While meditating at home, I'd listen to different genres of this music as I relaxed my mind and fell into a blissful meditative state. While meditating in unison with the forest, I'd replay a memorized track in my mind or tune out and listen to the symphony orchestra of nature, as I slipped into a trance and let my inner self connect with the cosmos.
So wherever you find your quiet space, get comfortable, relax, begin to breathe deeply and let the music carry you away.
Release yourself into the beauty, serenity and healing power
