SUN MUSIC gazing at sunset we are drumming down the sun music medicine based on an actual experience with my oldest son at city park on the far side near the boat launch...we found a covered picinic bench, sat atop, and drummed down the sun until it disappeared from the horizon...the drumming and gradual descent of the sun brought us both to a better space/vibration/place where we felt simultaneously energized and peaceful...a shared moment we cherish in our memory and one that bonds us sun music medicine practice: find a place of relative privacy where you can watch the last 20-30 minutes of the sunset and drum down the sun...if you don't have a drum, use your body as a drum, e.g., drum on your thighs or belly, or clap your hands to whatever rhythm feels right to you)...optionally, bring a friend to drum with you, and share your experiences afterward...double the pleasure.

SPIRAL MANIA  spiral mania lost in the swirling vortex out the other side how easy it is to become overwhelmed by the stimuli, complexities, issues, and challenges of life! feeling like we're caught in a spiral mania, lost, confused, and jostled in a swirling vortex...yet there is hope that we will eventually come out the other side...the other side of a challange is an opportunity, the other side of an issue is resolution, the other side of complexity is simplicity, the other side of stimuli is silence and peace, and ultimately the other side of death is a transition into a new way of being. when you feel overwhelmed by life, take comfort, know that things will change as change seems to be a constant for much of life, and hope is ever present if we take time to invoke hope's power and comfort...dare to hope...take comfort in the possibility of change for the better...as a practice, for one issue you are facing today, what is a hopeful outcome...what's one small thing that ...

IN & EX inhale & exhale project from brain, lungs, and mouth thoughts, words, sound, matter... to breathe in and out, inhaling and exhaling, is to be alive and connected to our environment which includes the air that others breathe (their body chemicals unite with their air and become part of our bodies as we breathe!)...all of our being, brain, lungs, mouth, organs, skin, and bones are all connected with the air we breath through the carrying of oxygen in the bloodstream...in some way, all of our thoughts, words, and sounds are also connected to our inhale and exhale of air. practice...in the presence of at least one other person, consciously breathe in the air, knowing that you are breathing in part of them, they literally are becoming part of you (and you them) through the air you both breathe...know you are interconnected in this most intimate way.  

CYCLE seed, stem, leaf, and fruit letting go of fruit and leaves the cycle of life we all start as a seed, growing our stems and leaves over time, producing fruit, then reversing part of the process, letting go, offering the fruit of our labor to others after which we can let the leaves of our activity fall away, feeling sap return to our roots and ideally having a period of rest in the soil of the earth...so is the cycle of our lives. where are you in the cycle of life...how does it feel to be there...to what degree can you accept, embrace, and perhaps even enjoy this part of the cycle? if not, what can you do to enhance, cultivate, and enrich your experience of this part of the cycle...choose some small concrete behavior that you can perform in 5-10 minutes to honor your place in the cycle of life today.
