Spiritual Sunday

-

I may have missed out on an Opera role. I don't know, they never replied. I feel though somehow lighter and relieved of the burden. Such heavy themes in Opera can sometimes deeply effect the performer and well maybe the time is just not right for me to sing the part of drastic romantic story of tuberculosis and death.

SingingTreeYoga has more Yogic sights ahead. And today, isn't this always the way I was handed some beautiful new music to learn. An original chapel piece. So 'what goes up must come down' and visa versa.

February is showing some learning curves, that of patience. I am impatient and find it tricky to control that feeling. But this modern world supplies us with all our needs - for I found a fantastic new mindfulness app. It's called Headspace and it helps me observe the thoughts, not fight or try to control them and hopefully will improve the sleep. That is all for today, it being Sunday 😊

 'Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life.' B.K.S. Iyengar

As the pics. come in thick and fast on my social medias today. From friends, from family over in Australia and New Zealand I think about this Yoga Blog and how on earth it can reflect such mayhem. It can't sorry, there are thankfully limits to any vocation, any hobby, any sports. So...or SOS... as we say in Kiwiland (pun intended, can't get the image out of my head, of all that wildlife decimated) I've posted a captured creature on my windowpain for you, instead. This little Bee is warming itself from the rainy weather Australia desperately needs right now. Try Bhramari Pranayama as part of your relaxation segment in your yoga classes this week. It's such a nice, gentle buzzy feeling. It's most obvious effects are that it's excellent for bringing up the mood, warming the vocal chords, making your friends laugh and clearing the senses. It's claimed also to : Dissipate anger, Lower Blood Pressure, Bolster the health of the throat, Strengthen and impro...

A tell-tale sign the world needs a soothing hug right now is because of these multiple micro-aggressions. For Ukraine and Russia that translates as war, not exactly micro. For the rest of the globe a multitude of pointless distracting 'fuzz'. Excuse the expression...hm, I'll try another: fluff, dust bunnies, wind, hot air, bla-bla-bla, idle talk.  Sometimes you must put the hate away, get away from it and that sometimes means migration. Having to migrate because of 'dust bunnies'?!! Look it up it's a term, to describe what I'm not doing a great job of describing: that hate causes wars, full stop.  Qui n'avance pas, recule.  What are the cre***ns doing over in Welly, in NZ at the moment, too? I went to my Diversity & Inclusion board meeting last night. What a sheer joyous rejuvenating thing to do: to listen, to share ideas on the things that can be discussed. Thank you Louis Theroux for publishing documentaries to reveal parallel cultures outdated, ou...

What Does This Sunday Mean To You?

Today's Blog I was going to give you a comparison between Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga and a new book I was given by my friend ; The Four Agreements - A Toltec Wisdom Book. But then I'd have to write a whole essay and well, Blogs aren't supposed to read like that. I'm often amazed at other people's ability to absorb and take in these moral codes of behaviour - I wish I had that talent. Possibly the fact that performing and singing means one is likely plucking from these depths to recreate some composer or artists masterpiece... I don't know. I'll leave it with Zel, I mean Zen... for now 😂Zel's a genius Luther who fixes guitars. Thanks to everyone around the world yesterday who protested Climate Change - it's awful to think that young people today think their futures are being taken away from them. We must collectively fight and make a change to this situation. Shout out to friends at  Julie's Bicycle  helping to green the Arts ...
