[AlternativeAnswers] Celebrate Spring: The Power of Music

 



  Music Therapy Spring Playlist
Music has always played a major part in my life. Ever since those early days of piano lessons with Mrs. Uri or playing trumpet in classical and jazz bands. I always remember the holidays or special occasions when my mom, Andrena, would regale us with wonderful pieces of music such as Malaguena or her own special version of Silver Bells. I have had the pleasure of singing in small and large choral groups from All-state to my own singing quartet group, Free and Easy, as well as, being a charter member of the infamous gospel choir, The Voices of Unity. Music continues to give me life changing moments and memories and I am forever grateful for this art and therapy.

So on my walk through Central Park today, I thought it would be a wonderful gift to share the songs of spring that make up my consciousness. 

These melodies cross several eras, yet they ring true for me as the seasonal mind set and the amazing way spring can be expressed in song. I call this list:

[AlternativeAnswers] Meditations

 

Here are helpful meditations to relieve stress and be in a state of peace.
 
Diane
 
Your Issue: "I'm going through a very emotionally taxing time."
Your Meditation: Loving-kindness meditation. Sit quietly, breathe normally, and gather your attention around the repetition of the phrase "May I be happy, may I be peaceful." Whenever your attention wanders, gently let those thoughts go, and come back to the phrase. At the end, after repeating that phrase for yourself, offer it up to include all beings everywhere, saying, "May all things be happy, may all things be peaceful."
 
Your Issue: "I feel stressed from the minute I get to the office until the minute I leave."
Your Meditation: A traditional Tibetan technique called sky-gazing meditation. Look out the window, relax your whole body, and let your gaze expand into the spaciousness of the sky. Repeat the ahhh sound silently—it's the most open sound you can make, and it amplifies the feeling. Let your attention go, and sit for a few minutes. If you're not near a window (or worry people will think you're daydreaming), sub your computer screen for the sky and rest your attention on it.
 
Your Issue: "Help! I can't focus."
Your Meditation: Sit in a comfortable place, breathe naturally, and settle your attention on your breath. With each inhale and exhale, mentally repeat the words "in" and "out." If your mind wanders, don't worry. Just let go, without judgment of whatever is taking you away from the breath, and bring your attention back to it.
 
Your Issue: "I feel adrift. I don't know what I want out of life right now."
Your Meditation: Sit in a comfortable position, in bed or in your favorite chair. Settle your breath, close your eyes, and, as you breathe, mentally repeat the words "I am." Whenever your attention drifts away from the words to other thoughts (which is natural), gently restate the words "I am" again. After 5 minutes, stop repeating, and start asking yourself "What do I want?" Don't feel like you have to answer it—just ask it. Repeat the question 2 to 4 times—let your mind settle down and see what bubbles up. Sometimes we're so distracted by stress that we never take time to settle down and listen to what our body, mind, and soul are telling us.

[AlternativeAnswers] IONS April Meeting Theme: Intuition- Sat. 4/2

 

IONS April Meeting Theme:

Intuition

Saturday, April 2, 2016

10AM – 12 PM

Suggested Donation $5

 

Intuition has been defined as knowing without knowing how we know; a kind of instinctive knowing without benefit of actual evidence or factual information.  

 

Due to Western culture's emphasis on the left brain with its reliance on logic and fact, we are culturally conditioned not to trust our intuitive knowledge.  Studies have shown, however, that scientists, medical personnel and successful business executives, among others, often rely heavily on intuition for problem solving and  decision making.  Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine, observed, "The intuitive mind tells the thinking mind where to look next."

 

Where does intuition come from?  How can we improve our ability to connect with our intuitive mind? What are the many ways in which can draw on our intuition to benefit our lives?

 

Please join us as we discuss the many sources and applications of this vital gift.

 

What is IONS? The Institute of Noetic Sciences™founded in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research, education, and membership organization whose mission is supporting individual and collective transformation through consciousness research, educational outreach, and engaging a global learning community in the realization of our human potential. "Noetic" comes from the Greek word nous, which means "intuitive mind" or "inner knowing." IONS™ conducts, sponsors, and collaborates on leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness, exploring phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor.

The Caritas Center sponsors one of a global network of self-organizing community groups that study and discuss the work of IONS.
