Music
https://open.spotify.com/user/andersabrahamsson/playlist/4ijEPCzK8IAGRlCCALTvMV Presented, as is. The list is built on a principle. But that one, I leave up to you to discover! Quiz? And after some stormy two weeks or so in rear view mirror – I feel fine! No wonder that song got stuck in the head after the brilliant The Beatles documentary, short blogged yesterday. Unmissable! With that said, good night!
Tonight, I got a mindblowing experience from my beloved Karin as a 50 year anniversary gift! 1966. The year The Beatles stopped touring, created by Ron Howard. Gala BLUE carpet première from London tonight, on live link to the cinema Cnema in Norrköping. Some videoclip from my actual birthday, June 26, 2016, press conference in Hamburg, was featured in the movie. It was brilliant! Oscars? A bonus was a totally freshed up The Beatles at Shea Stadium in New York. Still have “I Feel Fine” as inner lullaby soundttack! Thank you, Karin! ♡♡♡♡♡ Yoko Ono!
… “We Are The Children” ! Truly! Good Night! (And the storytelling beginning last week continues another Tuesday.) Thank you Karin ♡♡♡♡♡ for capturing the Magic, Beautiful and Love-Worthy! A day of STRONG relief – at the visit with Dr Fernlund, the Heart Doctor – with a 70-30 something of keeping Mika’s pacemaker as-is! Deep breathing out of relief! Now. Sleep!
MUSIC FOR THE WEEKEND! Why not go ahead and clean that damn toilet? Why? Well, you know the answer … PS. A warning. When you are focused, in the zone, in your element – in short: IN FLOW – be there. In 25 minutes, then 5 mins break, then 25 minutes, again! Complete. Done. Check. And what might occur? Cleaning the full bathroom … or at least taking that grungy, shabby, dirty hole where the water runs out under the bathtub. While at it! Get my point? But a nice clean toilet to enjoy after a proud work done is…
Article in marinade. Material and input ready to digest. Separating signal from noise, and learning two things. Better every day. To cope with Silence. To find it. To enjoy it. Any time! Not just moments of the serene state. Forest kind of non-silence, I refer to. And. To listen. And listen deep. And listen deeper. Ad Infinitum! Good Night! Sleep well!
Coming so far in the challenge, so good! From my own deeper personal experiences shared in confidence yesterday, this stream of writing, imaging and sounds relates to what comes directly from the communities I thrive and live by, with and in. The flow of everydayness, where the focus and filtering is kept to prioritize environments and events to enrich my understanding of what music does for health. But how to define community? And what are the boundaries of a community? Hard to define, but I would say – community belonging marks a common interest, practice or denominator of some kind….
“Coming to one-and-a-half year ago I collapsed. In the belly of my fiancée, was Mika. But we did not know then. That it was a Mika. But we knew we had a fetus with a heart disease, since a couple of weeks back. The anxiety and stress was raising. I wrote frenetically on my intended book – translated the first chapter to English. I was ready after an en excessively productive weekend in the fury of the anxiety. Sunday night, and I was a fragile fragment beyond reaching the goal. I was talking to my Karin, and we decided to visit…
Last week, I placed my overall intentions on what to produce during my own-defined #blog101 challenge in the period of Sept 1 to Dec 31. I said I will post these featured postings, dominated by the writings Tuesday to Thursday, and focus on music Friday and Sunday. Saturday will be kept for the private/personal postings in the general #blog366 challenge (one-post-every-day during 2016, with some embedded sub-challenges to keep things going, like the #blog101 – see sidebar for the list – ‘In focus’). To summarize – Mondays – Weekly Editorial Intentions Tuesdays – Music For Health – The Personal Experience…
A perfect start for a week to come. GYMSession: Gratitude. Yoga. Meditation. Aikido: Seven suburi with bokken. Some weight lifting for wrists, arms and shoulders. Good. Morning!
I present my second playlist in the name of Music for Health. Sunday Serenity and it is meditative in spirit. Situation, imagined: “To wake up in the Emptiness at 3AM in the Night”. One of these tunes I will write about on Tuesday in my first posting on “Music For Health – The Personal Experience”. Enjoy!
As mentioned yesterday, in the #blog101 startup posting, I will deliver dedicated musical elements on Fridays and Sundays (also often embedded elements all other days). So, for soundtracking your life, I will e. g. present playlists and mixes intended to track specific life situations, in order to enjoy them more vividly and with power, appropriate. First out, is a dedicated playlist to enjoy any eventual bonus Summer day, with an hour of joyful summer reminders. I will name the lists according to this format – with “To …” in the beginning of the title of the playlists, and tagged when…
