A Pale Blue Sky [naviarhaiku417]

El Rìo Sagrado   (The sacred river)

Spent a week staying in the converted 15th century church in Tal-Y-Llyn, mid Wales, the weather was extremely windy (in fact there was a T3 tornado in the nearest town that same afternoon,  probably while I was playing!) so I recorded myself improvising on the Victorian pedal harmonium while the wind roared through the rafters. All the creaks and click are either the organ, the roof, or my knees! It is like riding a rusty bike uphill while you play, not easy!

Improvising on the Harmonium in St Mary's Church Tal-Y-Llyn on a Very Windy Day

This track was inspired by the Xian, the eight immortals of Taoism.

From Wikipedia:
Xian (Chinese: 仙/仚/僊; pinyin: xiān; Wade–Giles: hsien) refers to a person or similar entity having a long life or being immortal. The concept of xian has different implications dependent upon the specific context: philosophical, religious, mythological, or other symbolic or cultural occurrence. The Chinese word xian is translatable into English as:

(in Daoist philosophy and cosmology) spiritually immortal; transcendent human; celestial being
(in Daoist religion and pantheon) physically immortal; immortal person; an immortal; saint
(in Chinese alchemy) alchemist; one who seeks the elixir of life; one who practices longevity techniques
(or by extension) alchemical, dietary, or qigong methods for attaining immortality
(in Chinese mythology) wizard; magician; shaman; sorcerer
(in popular Chinese literature) genie; elf, fairy; nymph; 仙境 (xian jing is fairyland, faery)
(based on the folk etymology for the character 仙, a compound of the characters for person and mountain) sage living high in the mountains; mountain-man; hermit; recluse
(as a metaphorical modifier) immortal [talent]; accomplished person; celestial [beauty]; marvelous; extraordinary
(In new-age conception) seeker who takes refuge in immortality (longevity for the realization of divinity); transcended person [self] recoded by the "higher self"; divine soul; fully established being

Soothing Self-Care

Rely on Silence - Part 2

"Let us forgive each other - only then will we live in peace." ~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy &nbsp; There's a lot going on in the world today that is cause for stress. In fact, you may wonder if you'll ever feel at peace in the world again. In this week's series, you'll discover ways to feel at peace in the world regardless of what's going on around you. As the end of the year approaches and with Christmas celebrated this week, tensions can run high as we maneuver around cherished traditions that now require social distancing from loved ones.&nbsp; This week is also a week to discover how not to take things so personally and how to roll with the punches a little more. &nbsp; This is part 7 of a 7-part Peace On Earth meditation series, episodes 2187-2193. &nbsp; THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: You're invited to take part in a Peace Quest. Every day this week, focus on not taking things so personally. To do this, try not to focus on "I" statements. If you are stressed about the insensitive way someone spoke to you, for example, instead of thinking, "I can't believe she said that! Instead, try reframing your thoughts to a more objective stance such as, "She must be stressed. She probably didn't mean to say that to me." You'll be surprised by how much peace on earth de-personalizing things can bring to you! &nbsp; THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: &nbsp; Day 1:&nbsp; &nbsp;Peace Visualization Day 2:&nbsp; Affirmation "Peace is all around me." Day 3:&nbsp; Inhale Visualizing Peace, Exhale Sending Out Peace Day 4:&nbsp; Dyan Mudra technique Day 5:&nbsp; Fourth Chakra Focus Day 6:&nbsp; Layer the week's techniques together Day 7:&nbsp; Weekly Reflection Meditation  &nbsp; LET'S SUPPORT EACH OTHER - WANT TO SHARE YOUR MEDITATION&nbsp; RITUAL WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS?&nbsp; &nbsp; Let's connect and inspire each other!
