Resonant music for soul

Back by popular demand, can you believe that I still can’t, but yea 2-3 people bugged me quite some to update my ramblings and who is not flattered by that.

So this is my Birthday week (Thank you! If you wanna send gifts email me, I will send my address) and I have been quite upbeat lately. Couple of reasons for that, have been sleeping really well (touchwood), listening to a lot of music. Music is definitely a mood lifter. So that made me think about music.. Music to ears..

Music to me might be noise to others, then again sometimes there’s no accounting for taste. That made me think about religion actually prayer or praying, when we pray we essentially are pleasing or at least trying to attain pleasant experience for all our senses, bright light for vision, incense for fragrant smell and finally bells and singing for music to ears, not to forget prasad to finally appease taste buds. So praying is nothing but heightening of all senses to achieve that state of living completely.

But I wanted to talk about sounds in particular, either be praying in a group or be in rock concert, its finally about achieving that harmonious unison. In high school I used to have experiments with some water tube and strung wires, with a tong we would find the highest and lowest resonant frequency, (I might be way off base here so pardon my ignorance), so I am sure as humans we must have our own highs and lows, and cause we are the same species it might be in some similar range.

So here I quote an example from wiki about finding that perfect frequency in a playground swing. When pushing someone in a swing, pushes that are timed with the correct interval between them (the resonance frequency), will make the swing go higher and higher (maximum amplitude), while attempting to push the swing at a faster or slower tempo will result in much smaller arcs. If only we could find our resonant frequency and achieve that perfect state. How will it be like, maybe we will finally discover what our physical, mental and emotional bodies are actually capable of and much much more..

Transcend body, mind and time

So here I am sitting after my grueling absolutely cruel yesterday evenings workout. I went ahead and pushed myself beyond space time compendium (I know it does not make sense but I always wanted to use that phrase) and it does kind of make sense..

Well anyways so I wanted to talk about spirituality and how our bodies are just like vessels. I so want to leave this vessel for some healing and elevate to some higher pleasanter plane maybe Hawaiian kind of not that I am complaining about SoCal weather.
Digressing again! On that note I read something about how you can detect if you are ADHD but I got pretty bored so did not bother reading the whole thing, I suppose the test works, but back to spirituality.

Talking about spirituality the best asana in yoga is shavasan not only because you get to lie down after the whole gymnastic but also cause its an asana at the same time which everyone can perform.. This is so not going anywhere..

Starting afresh, I think I will do that in my next post. So appreciate your patience with my digressional ramblings who said you needed a drink for that, you just need an audience.. So like the black screen at the Soprano’s finale but in my defense I was not building up any monumental suspense for the past 8 seasons. Will just leave at that..

And the New Year begins…

Every year I start with one thought only, this has got to be the year, that one awesomely fantastic year when everything shall happen. When eons past, I will look back and say yes this was that year that changed the course of my life. Sadly I caught flue on 31st night. Seems like last year did not wanna see me go all dry eyed (I am noticing my very marvinish tendencies but I solemnly swear to turn into Zaphod this year).

So to assure myself about this marvelous year I went ahead and read my horoscope on all possible websites. And yea I realized all of them have some hidden agenda against me, I mean I know in my gut this is the year so no amount of how rat(according to the Chinese calendar) this year they claim will be I am going to march forward.

Now that I have almost battled the flue off with just some Tylenol PM (which I would gladly take otherwise too), almost cleaned up my room (as per my New Year resolution), almost contacted all my long lost friends (another resolution) and even cooked finally (broke my New Year resolution of not cooking this year), I have a good feeling about this year.

To top it all I even reclaimed my pen (long story) and my to do list is prosperous again. It has stopped raining in SoCal and the mighty bright sun is shining again. 2008 is going fantastic so far and yea I am still having a good feeling about it(notice how each paragraph ends with optimism, awesome year yay!!!).
