GARDENS OF MIND // EPISODE 42

Frederic Leighton fared as an underestimated salon painter up till 1895. Then he painted this masterpiece – Flaming June. It sings to us with radiant color and elemental symbols. Many see this painting as simple. It’s a beautiful woman in a glorious dress. They’re not wrong. But as with most masterpieces, more levels of meaning resonate here. The initial pulse check on this painting delivers heat. It’s titled Flaming June for good reason. Orange bursts through the canvas as cascading fire. The gown’s flames ripple like an out-of-control blaze. This lovely woman seems to sleep inside an inferno. Surrounding details balance this piece, though. It’s not only about fire. Leighton frames June with earth, sea, and air elements to harmonize the painting. Frederic Leighton painted Flaming June only about a year before his death. With that in mind, the painting crosses the boundary between an artist’s work and their legacy. Leighton was popular in his day. As a British painter, he made lots of money and was even knighted. But few would have guessed he’d paint a true masterpiece. His work fit into the category of salon paintings. Today’s equal might be an artist who does pieces to match interiors for one percenter. He far outdid himself with Flaming June, though. This beauty speaks to us beyond any decorator’s vision. It touches us today as a glorious masterpiece.

The Niyamas (Sanskrit: नियम, romanized: Niyama) are positive duties or observances. In Dharma, particularly Yoga, niyamas and their complement, Yamas, are recommended activities and habits for healthy living, spiritual enlightenment, and a liberated state of existence. It has multiple meanings depending on context in Hinduism. In Buddhism, the term extends to the determinations of nature, as in the Buddhist niyama dhammas.

Virtues are extensively discussed in various ancient and medieval era texts of Hinduism. In its Yoga school, they are described in first two of eight limbs (steps, branches, components). The first limb is called yamas, which include virtuous self-restraints (the "don'ts"). The second limb is called niyamas which include virtuous habits, behaviors and observances (the "dos"). 
These virtues and ethical premises are considered in Hinduism as necessary for an individual to achieve a self-realized, enlightened, liberated state of existence (moksha).

Five Niyamas
In Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the Niyamas are the second limb of the eight limbs of Yoga. Sadhana Pada Verse 32 lists the niyamas as:

- Shaucha (शौच): purity, clearness of mind, speech and body
- Santosha (सन्तोष): contentment, acceptance of others and of one's circumstances as they are, optimism for self
- Tapas (तपस्): austerity, self-discipline, persistent meditation, perseverance
- Svadhyaya (स्वाध्याय): study of self, self-reflection, introspection of self's thoughts, speeches and actions
- Ishvarapranidhana (ईश्वरप्रणिधान): contemplation of the Ishvara (God/Supreme Being, Brahman, True Self, Unchanging Reality), attunement to the supreme consciousness

Alfredo Botta - Psilochanga  (Stefan Alexander Thomas Remix)

Restless

Tharn is the dub techno project of interdisciplinary artist Sam Ashton, originally from London and now based in Portland, Oregon. Best known for his ambient work as Fortresses, with releases on Dragon's Eye Recordings and Flaming Pines, Ashton brings the same rich sense of atmosphere and detail to Tharn.

Tharn's new EP, Reach, follows the debut EP Seek, released on Belgian label Crossfade Sounds in spring 2025, serving as both a sequel and companion piece. Where Seek reflected the winter gloom and constant rain of the Pacific Northwest, Reach opens into light: stripped down, immediate, and radiant, like sunlight breaking through misty trees, carrying silver linings and quiet optimism. Hushed field recordings of Oregon's forests thread through the mix, while ghostly, hypnotic vocal lines rise above sporadic dub chords and ambient guitar swells, giving the music a luminous focus across its two tracks, "Reach" and "Last."

All music composed, produced, recorded, and mixed by Sam Ashton

SOFT COMA

Owner of FruityAlfred Records

My name is Alfredo Botta, and I'm a DJ, producer, and musician. I've been making music since 1986 using my Commodore 64 and then using my Amiga. By the end of the 90s, I started using FruityLoops to create Techno-based music. Since many years now I've been using Ableton and Native Instruments to create various kinds of music: from Spiritual & Medicine Music to Downtempo over to Techno. 

I like to experiment with music as this gives me my inspiration to be creative. Since 2020 I started DJing and mixing as well as this helps to spread the spirit of the music. In 2019 I created my own record label called FruityAlfred Records which brings together artists from all over the world who share my passion for creating unique sounds through different styles but mostly Organic Downtempo, Electronica, Ambient and Deep House.

Music is a hobby to me which allows me freedom without being under pressure!
