Sometimes I forget how much I love music. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
My husband has been working from home most Fridays. While I sit in the quiet living room so I can see our backyard growing in green leaves and tall grasses, he settles in at the dining room table. But he also clicks on Pandora early in the morning, and I hear soft songs drifting into my space. It’s nice.
I breathe differently on Fridays. Like my yoga class, when I am being much more mindful about my movements and breath, the music calms and centers me. Why I don’t think to listen when he’s not here is beyond me.
Just like my Alexander session yesterday that makes me focus on how I sit and hold my head, music makes me feel at peace with the world.
One more habit to start.

Yoga, Breathing, and Music… all in a good recipe for relaxing and better health… wonderful discovery.
BTW.. Love the new LOOK.. esp the lotus.. A great symbol of the clarity of heart as well as the mind. In other words the Lotus flower represents strength, good luck, long life as well as honor and respect. Goes nicely with this blog post
Just reading this made me breathe slower and deeper. Beautiful, relaxing. I can almost feel the grass and leaves growing in your backyard. Thank you.
