Mindfulness and Music
Hello everyone!
From our lasted group discussion in the mindfulness room, I'd thought I'd start a thread for you to post your favourite music that lets you be mindful :)
We started with Frou Frou- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13WAhlE02ew !
Can't wait to hear your music and how it helps you :)
My favourite mindful music at the moment is a band called "A Winged Victory for the Sullen' and their album Atomos. The classic music is so beautiful and the emotions it captures is incredible. I find listening to this music with earphones and focusing on my breathing, as well as the different sounds and crescendos really helps me focus on the music. :)
Today's 2nd part of the mindfulness exercise was listening to Rumi: Don't Go Back To Sleep (Sufi Poem)

Listen intently, but without straining.
This is all about being "here and now" - nothing more.''
What did you think of the song? Were you able to focus and be mindful? What do the lyrics mean to you?
My favorite band is Boards of Canada, been loving them since 2006 :P

That's one of my favorite songs by them. Whenever I want to chill out, I put on some headphones, turn off all the lights and sit in a chair far away from my computer...

I'm a huge BoC fan too, Fruity also likes them haha :).
I love Boards of Canada - Echus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjrPpzNeNZ0
A very quaint track.
@Simie
Wow! It's quite rare I find someone else who is a fan :) Another track I loved from Campfire Headphase was Farewell Fire, but the fadeout always bugged me. Here's a version with it removed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vO2ohtYvJI
What did you think of Tomorrow's Harvest? I thought it was a bit overrated :P
@Flinch59
Yeah haha I love that I listen to it a lot. I guess mindful people like Boards, I felt the same a bit, I found it to be more experimental and not as melodic as the best known tracks. my favourites are kid for today, left side drive, Dayvan Cowboy, Macquarie Ridge, Echus, Buckie High, Finity
