about

Like any toolkit, different elements have different uses, you can dip in and try stuff or, if you are coming just for the music and don't wanna meditate, I challenge you to at least listen to Track 7 and try it.

I used to refuse to meditate because I was told to "quieten the mind" which frankly seemed like an impossible task, I now understand that quieten means 'less noisy' not silent. Another way meditation is described is to practice focus - when we focus on one thing, other things can fade away. I prefer and encourage this technique in all that I offer here.

I recorded the meditations because i like to be instructed and it helps me to know I have an allocated window of time for that.

How I use this tool box:

Track 1 and 4 are to chill me out when I'm stressing
Track 2 is for rituals, I use it in the bath mainly
Track 3 is a reminder of the beauty of (comm)Unity
Track 5 soothes and reminds me to look out for beauty everywhere
Track 7 I made for waiting in line
Track 9 helped me extend my exhalation and now it helps give a pause to my racing mind for 10 minutes
Track 11 is to use my voice to give me a quick massage
Track 12 is when I wanna be kind to and be there for myself
Track 13 is when I need a power nap

I am so appreciative of Insight Timer, the meditation app, I got lots of inspiration from there, did yoga nidra research, posted my work and got awesome feedback and even royalties and inspiration to try their business model which offers everything for free and gives us the opportunity to thank teachers with donations.

I am also so happy to have Garageband on my iPad, iPhone and computer so i can record in bed or whenever or wherever inspiration takes me.
