Im sitting here in the middle of nowhere, listening to the birds sing in the back round.  A yawn escapes it’s way from my mouth and I close my eyes and realize-Im relaxed, or atleast on my way there.  How often am I stressed out that I lose the ability to reach the ‘relaxed’ state of mind?  I would say often enough. Between work, kids, house and life, it’s so easy to lose sight of the moment and get caught up in having to erase the massive ‘to-do’ list in my head.  Each moment escapes me and I’m not able to enjoy it, I simply want it to hurry up and end, thinking that it will be less stressful when I’ve reach my proposed goal.

In this sweet moment of serenity, I realize that ‘relaxation’ can be just as simple as allowing myself to enjoy the moment Im in. To breathe in the very essence of where I am, capture it, and enjoy what the moment has to offer.  Only then can I breathe with satisfaction knowing Im living life’s full potential.

Here’s to carrying this moments epiphany on to the next moment Im about to experience.

Hello - just a quick note that I have completed some new recordings for a Childrens CD entitled “Magical Meditations for Kids”- more info at http://magicalmeditationsforkids.com/ and http://www.wamm.ca/val/home.html -Steven 

Man, blogging requires a bit of a commitment - I really want to do it more, but simply cant find the time to do it. As well, I’m not sure what say. Any suggestions?

Sounds simple enough, how would you define a musician? I thought I’d do a quick summary on what I think a musician is. There are many variations of the definition of what a musician is, ultimately a musician is simply a person who plays music. Musicians are generally classified by how they create that music.

For example, a composer writes music whereas an instrumentalist plays a musical instrument. The product of a musician at its core, is simply organized or disorganized sounds. Sound is perceived through the sense of hearing as well through the sense of touch, usually in the form of vibration. Sound is defined is the disturbance of mechanical energy through matter. All that being said, if you ask a musician to define what a musician is, it would hardly be the sterile definition as previously described.

A musician would simply call a musician ‘expressing what’s inside.’ – For example, if a musician is felling sad, possibly using his or her instrument, melodic pensive sounds would be played, usually slower and with more minor tones which is often translated as sadness or pensive. A happy musician would reflect that mood through a song that is more up-beat, which often has more major notes. Here’s simple test of this, the next time your listening to music, switch between slower pensive music and happy up-beat music and see how it makes you feel. Musicians are instruments that can reflect your mood or change it. So the next time you’re in a mood you don’t like, try adding some music to the environment, and see what happens.

Over the years I’ve been asked “what is soaking music?” - In essence ’soaking music’ facilitates a meditative, prayerful environment traditionally used for spending time with God. soaking music is generally restful in in tone and by definition to ’soak’ is the process of being softened and saturated by water. Often during these ’soaking times’, emotional and physical healings occur. A good choice for this type of music can be found here http://aquadio.com/soaking.html
