No matter who we are, or what stage of life we are at, we all long for similar things; to be happy, connected with others, in touch with a sense of calm and peace, vital, alive and joyful. And we long to be able to ride out the tough patches that hit all of us from time to time with some degree of grace and dignity.
The good news is that we can fulfil these longings at any time, in any place. They are only a moment away, a breath away. We can learn how to be comfortable with our body, know and understand our mind, and love our heart. It isn't difficult, long-winded or time-consuming. In doing so you'll feel happier in your own skin, less stressed, more confident, more capable and more at ease with yourself and life.
This is what Mindfulness for Women is about. It is a practical guide to coming home to yourself in each present moment. To finding the ledge behind the waterfall. To resting in the depths of the ocean rather than being tossed about by surface waves.
Mindfulness is a potent antidote to anxiety, stress, depression, exhaustion and irritability. It leads to a greater sense of contentment and can also reduce addictive and self-destructive behavioural patterns. This book will enable you to experience the benefits for yourself. It's not designed as a lengthy course but is solutions-based. It's fast - evidence shows that a little bit of mindfulness goes a long way. It's also bespoke - you can read all of it cover to cover, or simply dip in and out, depending on what you want to focus on. You can listen to whichever meditation track suits you at any given time and you can run tracks together if you want to meditate for longer periods. It's designed to suit your life and priorities now and well into the future.

Bringing distractions back into the beginning of the inhale. Victoria, B.C. Recorded January 17, 2017.

15 minute Guided Meditation on the Breathing Body

Connection NO MUSIC

This recording was captured right in front of my tent at a little after 5am on the side of the Chattooga River. The section I was camping near was very calm and saw many people fishing and tubing on the river each day. Luckily traffic was minimal this morning and I was able to record some pristine nature sounds!

Recorded with a Sony D100 on a tripod, sensitivity 10.

Thank you for reading and listening ☺

"only a chirping insect
told me it was night
so bright was the moon"
-Ochi Etsujin-

this is ¶radio hummingbird's contribution to the Naviar Haiku music challenge volume #363. each week participants are asked to create a piece of music in response to a provided haiku poem (see above).

this piece has been recorded on a eurorack modular synthesizer in one single take. the only outboard effects utilised have been a singing wine glass and a cassette tape echo directly interfaced with the modular. a daw has only been used for a light mastering of the recording.

this week's poem is magic. and so is the track i tried to create in response to it. put it on endless looping and forget about time and space.......

please enjoy.
