@user-138663860: Thanks Sandy, I was proud of this one I over played the guitar lines a little but I liked the tone I was getting so it went a little long

You have really nice sound and feeling💕💕

this has a gorgeous chord progression and guitar lead ... great poignant track

Greetings to our SC friends. For those in hotter climates, we hope you’re enjoying the slow broil this fine mid-July. :) 

Today, Jo (Minimal_Drone*GRL: https://soundcloud.com/minimal_drone_grl, https://minimaldronegrl.bandcamp.com/) and I are thrilled to share our second collab, ‘Anima Unbound’. It started out as an ambient piece, but somehow evolved into something very… different. We hope you enjoy. 

Along with the new song, we’re also excited to share some ideas/excerpts from a book we discovered we both love, ‘The Untethered Soul’ by Michael A. Singer. :D

This book has some great suggestions for modifying unconscious daily routines into conscious activities designed to raise personal awareness. 

One of our favorite chapters is about ‘The Inner Roommate’, and is a surprisingly simple experiment. The idea is to imagine the voice in your head as an individual separate from you (like a roommate). Every time you have a thought, imagine those words are coming from someone on the outside (rather than in your head). If that voice happens to be ultra-chatty, and often negative, the experiment proves quite effective, quite quickly. 

As Michael suggests “How would you feel if someone outside really started talking to you the way your inner voice does? How would you relate to a person who opened their mouth to say everything your mental voice says? After a very short period of time, you would tell them to leave and never come back. But when your inner friend continuously speaks up, you don’t even tell it to leave. No matter how much trouble it causes, you listen.”

That was definitely an eye-opening experiment for both of us; with surprising results from very little effort.

Another chapter that struck a cord with us is ‘The Secrets of the Spiritual Heart’. This is an intriguing idea that when the heart is open, you fall in love with life very easily. But when the heart is closed, you lose interest and desire very quickly. It’s all about energy intake (or blockage).

A healthy heart will witness things in our surroundings, process them, and let them go… which keeps us in a state of constantly renewing energy intake. This is the way we are meant to process the astounding amounts of info coming at us. Witness, experience, learn, let go… then witness the next thing with equal openness.

But a heart trapped in fear handles things a little differently. If you encounter something that upsets you, it makes an impression (coincidentally, the Yogic/Sanskrit term for this is Samskara, meaning ‘Impression’). Since energy is a constant, but you aren’t able to release it, you find yourself trapped with that impression, although you might not realize it at the time. It’s like an audio loop that is always ready to be queued up, even if you’ve forgotten you have it stored on your hard drive. The way you know it’s still trapped inside you is when it surfaces under other similar circumstances… and that might be the first time you realize it’s still there.

Where this concept really helps is the idea that looping energy gunks up the system, like a hairball gunks up your plumbing. If the hairball gets too big (or there are too many of them) there will be a direct impact on other things flowing through the pipes effectively. This disturbing clump of negative gunk is actually interfering with more positive elements flowing through you. So if you want to return those pipes to a more natural flow of energy, you first need to clean out the gunk of those trapped old emotions. 

Sometimes the simplest analogies are the best. And this book is full of them.

So there you have it. Jo and I hope you enjoyed this inspirational little write-up (perhaps enough to spark a little interest in the book). And we also hope you enjoy our latest musical offering, ‘Anima Unbound’. :)

I labeled this as country, but honestly I was thinking Tom Petty and Marshall Tucker but it was something different.  I had this chord progression looking for a rock tune it just never made across the line.
