An improvisation embodying the spirit of courage ✨This Christmas I am offering a personalised piano composition gift (recorded to studio quality) created to reflect the personality of a loved one or to inspire a quality or feeling they want to have more of in 2024.If you’ve seen the film The Holiday… you might remember the scene where Jack Black writes a song for Iris (for which he used ‘only the good notes ❤️!) and the other theme tune was to inspire 90yr old film director Arthur to walk up the stairs with vigour! It’s a bit like that - have your own theme tune to inspire and what a special unique gift that someone will have to keep forever. DM here with any questions Or see link in biog or ‘Experiential Gifts’ at www.liedownandlisten.com#personalisedgifts #classicalpiano #pianocomposition #liedownandlisten #soundhealing #theholiday #jackblack #filmcomposer

✨✨ReConnect to your Inner Light ✨✨
On Friday 21 April 7.00pm join us for a very special
Inner Light - Sunset lying down concert✨
Sunlight is a powerful source of radiant light which we can feel in its presence, drawing inspiration and energy from it, but we can equally draw energy from focusing on our inner light.
In this Sunset concert, you will slow down and find, peace and space to allow inspiration to flow whilst listening to the healing resonances of Tibetan bowls and their layers of gleaming sound and the stunning vibrations and sounds of live classical piano played by @chrissymcmasterpiano McMaster in a candlelit setting.
Sounds you’ll experience are Tibetan Bowls + Piano with drinks on arrival: Turmeric Latte and sunset snack.
More details in biog
I can’t wait to welcome you to this experience.
✨✨✨🌅🌅🌅

Each Tibetan bowl tone resonates and rebalances particular points of your body… listen into these tones - they ‘C’ tone is the first you hear and this one is a strong rebalanced for the Root Chakra… your source of creative power… tune in and if you have time… lie down and listen
BTW I offer private treatments in the Cotswolds where you can experience these powerful vibrations moving through your body by placing them directly in the body… followed by a beautiful and relaxing lying down classical music concert… find out more on the website or DM for details

☀️Stunning views of blues from my yoga mat this morning - added some piano sounds to reflect the sense of optimism in early morning shavasana.

Music that’s best listened to lying down!
Composer Terry Riley used this piece as a type of musical meditation at the piano.
The extract you hear is from his Keyboard Study no.2… made up of patterns which are like mantras - the performer gets to choose how long and in what combination each ‘mantra’ is played for.
To hear more Terry Riley, pre order the ‘ Inner Landscape’ album and instantly receive a stunning track by Arvo Pärt - perfect for inner reflection or shavasana!

❓ ✨Who is listening?✨ ❓
On Sundays PRESENCE PRACTISE we used questions to help draw us into the present as well as paying attention to the sounds and vibrations from the piano.
Have you noticed how some questions take us into a state of anxiety - what’s your five year plan? When are going to have a baby?! When are you retiring?! Etc.
That’s because these questions take us out of the present.
These questions can never be fully answered as much as we try, because nothing is certain when you try to control future outcomes.
What IS certain is that if you are present in the moment you can see all the wonderful things it has to offer, you can pay attention and enjoy these wonderful things. You can’t do this to a future moment.
Questions can be used both to benefit and also as a form of torture - like interrogation, which is so powerful that in some interrogations some people confess to something they didn’t even do. Questions can make you believe what isn’t really there.
Sound acts in the same way - used in the right way - it can heal. Used on a harmful frequency - it can cause illness and pain.
So we have to choose our questions and sounds carefully so that we’re on a good frequency.
We get to choose which we pay attention to - a higher frequency or a lower frequency. Are you listening to your lower self that doubts or the higher self to embrace each moment with positivity, curiosity and love.
❓ Who is listening?
❓What is it that I need to pay attention to?
These simple questions help us to be present and aware of something higher.
Give space to listen for the answers.
Then ask again.
…and then again.
Being on a positive frequency goes against what we’re exposed to daily in the media and often colleagues, others etc. So if you have a bit of rebel inside you… it’s a good cause to rebel against the negative and be positive!
Join again this Sunday at 9.00pm on @liedownandlisten IG Live for a short PRESENCE PRACTIS
✨ Practising Presence ✨
Clip from last night using sound resonance to proactive presence. Allowing the sounds and vibrations from the piano to guide what comes next - without planning - just responding and most importantly - listening.
.
Join me next Sunday evening 21:00 on IG Ljve for a Presence Practise ritual.
