Plum Village Practice Song (Text und Melodie by Sister Annabel Laity) 
No coming, no going
No after, no before
I hold you close to me 
I release you to be so free
Because I am in you
And you are in me
Because I am in you 
And you are in me

Sangha Songs

No Coming No Going

I recorded vocal and piano of my favourite Plum Village practice song.

And When I Rise (Composed by Wendy Tuck and adapted by Joseph Emet)

And when I rise, let me rise
Like a bird, joyfully.
And when I fall, let me fall,
Like a leaf, gracefully, without regret.
And when I stand, let me stand,
Like a tree, strong and tall.
And when I lie, let me lie,
Like a lake, peacefully, calm and still.
And when I work, let me work,
Like a bee, wholeheartedly.
And when I play, let me play,
Like a breeze, refreshingly, light and clear.

And When I Rise

I am playing here on Selmer Super Action 80 series II Alto Saxophone.
Thank you Haywood Giles (HGQjazz) for providing the 4 Chorus Backing Track (I transposed the backing track from Haywood to Eb key).
This is a great tune composed by Keith Jarrett (Part IIc of the The Köln concert live CD). 

Memories of Tomorrow (Coursera Week 4 Assignment)

This is the final assignment for Gary Burton's jazz improvisation course. An interesting tune composted by Carla Bley.

Hide & Seek - 'Til I Fell in Love with You

Misirlou

Created by Burt Gidaro & Kobi Rivlin.
Ambient cinematic music for meditation created using mostly Alchemy synth.
It is meant to create relaxing atmosphere, but not distract or grab attention from the meditation.

Meditation music #1

Using SWAM Bass Flute (via AE-10) and Pianoteq

Meditation music #2

This is based on an Israeli holiday song for Hanukkah composed by Emanuel Amiran called Banu Choshech Legaresh (We Came To Drive Away The Darkness).

I arranged it as a 9/8 folk and jazz song and play flute and sax.
