The Turtle Beneath the Sea — Jātaka MindVibes, Track 4 🐢🌊

A lullaby for overworked nervous systems. Ocean-soft swells, low flute and a gentle hum invite you to sink, not fight—the turtle way. Use it for pre-sleep rituals, post-overwhelm resets, or whenever your brain insists 2 a.m. is ideal for life planning.

Not for driving or heavy machinery. This one wins bedtime.

How to use (pick one)
	•	Breathwork for sleep: 4-7-8 — inhale 4, hold 7, exhale 8 (optional soft hum on the out-breath).
	•	PMR (progressive muscle relaxation): Toes → calves → thighs → belly → chest → hands → arms → shoulders → face. Clench 3 seconds, release.
	•	Grounded “float”: Place one hand on belly, one on chest; feel the hands rise and fall like waves.

Best moments

Pre-sleep • After a hard day • Post-panic come-down • Sunday scaries • When your thoughts are tap-dancing in steel-toed boots.

60-second micro-script

Lights dim. Phone exiled.
Inhale 1-2-3-4… hold 1-2-3-4-5-6-7… exhale 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 (hum if you like).
Unclench jaw. Tongue rests.
Toes curl/release… calves… thighs… belly soft.
Whisper: “Nothing to fix. Just float.”
One more long exhale. Let sleep find you.

Story thread

A timid turtle teaches the village: safety isn’t always running—sometimes it’s sinking into still water until the storm passes. Rest as strategy, not surrender.

Kura-Kura Ing Sangisoring Segara (The Turtle Beneath The Sea)

Mercy mercy Money King
Can't you hear the people sing
Money King theyre at your door
Asking for a little more
They want more

Cadillacs and racing tracks
You put the weight on the peoples backs
Canonize the velvet green
When it comes to money youre people mean

But sometimes your soul it catches fire
You curse your god a blessed liar
Aint no comfort in a fancy wench
When it comes to love youre on the bench

So sorry sorry Money King
You aint got nothing but everything
Money King youve closed the door
Now dont you want a little more
You want more

Mercy mercy Money King
I said sorry sorry
Money King
Sorry sorry
Money King
Money King

Money King

This was an improvisation recorded on the island called Njardarlog from old of, later renamed Tysnes which remains the official name until today. The song is dedicated to the goddess Nerthus, who rides once a year among us with her chariot to give fertility to the lands. While she is visiting our lands, all iron and weapons must be kept away for she brings peace. She is said to dwell in the depth of a lake, in the island of Njardarlog is a lake called Vevatnet (sacred water) which is dedicated to her.
We were there at the dawn of the spring, when ice was still covering the mountainside... it was a very strong moment to play the bukkhorn there, as the echoe of the horn was making some of the ice crack and fall, like a symbol of nature ready to awake and break the ice to rise to life again...

Traditional Celtic Music

Dans En Dro

I was born and raised in Co. Cavan, Ireland. I moved to Los Angeles in the spring of 1987 and began working as a session musician. Many of these sessions included world-renowned artists including, Chet McCracken (Doobie Brothers), Albert Lee, Stuart Smith (Sweet), and Howard Leese (Heart). Working with musicians of this caliber, all of whom had toured the world, inspired me to find a band that I could tour with. In 1994 I joined world-beat band World Color, a multi-racial, multi-cultural band led by Pamela Whitman, great-granddaughter of Walt Whitman. The experience of working with musicians from all over the world combined with my upbringing, rooted in Irish traditional music, transported me to a new place, musically. I began to write music that would lead to the unique sound that is, Finn MacCool. I left World Color in 1999 to form the band Finn MacCool.

******************************************

Finn MacCool is a Celtic Fusion band based in Los Angeles. The band takes its name from the legendary figure in Irish lore, the warrior Finn MacCool. The music and songs are rooted in the Celtic culture from all seven Celtic nations**. The lyrics take the listener back in time and celebrate the history of the Celtic people, while the music combines traditional Irish scales and rhythms with elements of folk, blues, gypsy, world-beat, and funk. The music and stories help keep the spirit of this great culture alive and relevant in these modern times. "You will feel their presence and you will know their stories through the music of Finn MacCool".
******************************************

Fans often describe the music as reminiscent of Traffic or early Led Zeppelin, with a strong spiritual presence that sets it apart from other bands of this genre.
******************************************

Other popular fan comments include:

"This music is suitable for all ages"
"There is something for everyone"
"I felt a very positive vibe coming from the music and lyrics"

Jim McDonough, editor of the Irish News & Entertainment wrote the following after hearing the band for the first time:

..."Finn MacCool will take you on a journey from Ancient Ireland to Modern America"...

Jim Fowler of the Los Angeles Times wrote:

..."I was blown away by their live performance. They blended the instrumentation of Celtic folk music with rock music intensity"...

Orange County Register wrote:

..."Like NOTHING you have ever heard. You will feel the presence and you will know the stories of the Celtic people through the music of Finn MacCool"...
******************************************
I am in the process of writing and recording two musicals under the title Ancestral Voices* (the Famine Years) and Ancestral Voices (Voices Lost)

*Ancestral Voices (the Famine Years)

The Famine, also known as, an Gorta Mor, all but decimated the entire population of Ireland. During the years 1845 to 1852 five-sixths of the people died or emigrated. Ancestral Voices (the Famine Years) uncovers the true reasons behind why an event of such magnitude is seldom spoken of in Ireland.

Ancestral Voices (Voices Lost)

There was a time when women had an equal voice in society. What happened?  How did they lose their equal standing? Was it survival of the fittest, or did man wander from the path of equality, fairness, respect, and understanding? 

From Eve to Mary Magdalene, Joan of Arc to Lillian Hellman, there is one common thread, they were all vilified. Whether it was labeling them a witch, a whore, or a communist, the tactic was the same, dehumanize the target, turning them into symbols for lust evil and hatred. Buy why?

**The Seven Celtic nations are: Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, Wales, Cornwall, Isle of Man and Galicia.
