  • Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
    A train arrives but never leaves, it's a shame (Dukkha )
    Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door (Dukkha )
    Of being rich or being poor, such a shame (Dukkha )
    But it's then, then that faith arrives ( In Buddha Dharma )
    To make your feelings alive
    And that's why, you should keep on aiming high (Dharma Practice )
    Just seek yourself and you will shine (Meditation )
    You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
    Search for the secrets you hide
    Search for the hero inside yourself
    Until you find the key to your life
    In this life, long and hard though it may seem (Samsara )
    Live it as you'd live a dream, aim so high ( See through the illusion)
    Just keep the flame of truth burning bright (Hold the Dharma )
    The missing treasure you must find
    Mmm-mmm-mmm
    Because you and only you alone
    Can build a bridge across the stream
    Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry (Practice the Dharma )
    Your passport to a feeling supreme ( Enlightenment-Buddha Nature )
    You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
    Search for the secrets you hide
    Search for the hero inside yourself
    Until you find the key to your life
    You've got to search, inside yourself
    Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah
    You've got to search, inside yourself
    You've got to search for the hero inside yourself (ooh)
    Search for the secrets you hide
    Search for the hero inside yourself
    Until you find the key to your life
    Search for the hero inside yourself (oh yeah)
    Search for the secrets you hide (all of the secrets you hide)
    Search for the hero inside yourself (you'll find a hero)
    Until you find the key to your life
    You've got to search inside yourself
    You've got to search
    (Meditation )

    Just saw the Christmas tour of Manheim Steamroller. Very nice. Lights were great…music was awesome. Fog and snow included. The slide show playing in the background was very out dated… circa 1988, haha…overall…worth the ticket price.

    Listen to the wind blow
    Where does the wind go, hm?
    What does the wind know
    Listen to the wind blow

    Listen to the wind in the warm June weather
    Let's all run and play in the grass together
    With the summer breeze<
    How it loves to tickle and tease and fool us
    But when we get hot there's his breath to cool us
    Sighin' high above in the top of a rustlin' tree

    Listen to the wind blow
    Where does the wind go
    What does the wind know
    Listen to the wind blow

    Listen to the wind now he's getting bolder
    Now his voice is rough and his breath is colder
    Cause it's wintertime
    He whistles down the chimneys and nips our noses<
    Crumples off our hats turns our cheeks to roses
    Snappin' up our clothes as they flap on the laundry line

    Listen to the wind blow
    Where does the wind go
    What does the wind know
    Listen to the wind blow
    Listen to the wind blow
    Where does the wind go, hm?
    What does the wind know?
    Listen to the wind blow
    Listen to the wind blow
    Listen to the wind blow, listen...

  • From the Australian tv series Upright

    Tim Minchin The Aeroplane

    Lyrics:
    If I had the blueprint or the brain
    I would build an aeroplane
    I’d fashion wings of balsa wood and glue
    And I would fly to you

    I’d carve a prop from old recycled would haves
    All these relentless could have
    These pointless might have beens
    Oh the storms that I would gladly battle through
    So I could fly to you

    Had I the method or the means
    I would build a time machine
    I’d make it from the scraps you aways find
    When someone leaves their broken dreams behind

    And I’d fuel it with the beats that my heart misses
    When you sign your name with kisses
    Made of x’s when you text me
    It’s so silly but
    Any fuel and any fire will do
    I will fly to you

    And I’d carve a prop from old recycled would haves
    All these relentless could haves
    These pointless might have beens
    Oh the storms that I would gladly battle through
    So I could fly to you
    Oh the storms that I would gladly battle through
    So I could fly to you

    ( I love the lyrics)

    I introduced my parents to Spirited Away back when it first won the Best Animated Film Oscar, and they ended up becoming bigger Hayao Miyazaki fans than me! They collected all the DVDs and still watch them regularly.

    That's beautiful. Not much is better than introducing loved ones to loved interests and them seeing what you see.

    It’s what they call an active meditation, one which moves the body. The instructions for this one are: 15 minutes of standing and shaking, letting everything go and becoming the shaking; 15 minutes of unrestrained dancing, letting the body move as it wills; 15 minutes of closing the eyes and being still, witnessing; and 15 minutes lieing down, becoming quiet. It is a sequence of things done with the body and mind, and thus could be called a meditation.

    The whole idea is that body and mind are one, that one is not able to divide them, and therefore this type of meditation works on the body-mind complex to bring about catharsis, fluency, not-forcing. It was an invention of Osho’s, who said that modern man’s mind was so filled up with things that it needed radically new techniques to bring it to stillness. He created several varieties, including the Kundalini, the Dynamic and the Nataraj. They are typically an hour long.

    Interesting. I’ve always found walking meditation more beneficial than sitting, probably for the exact reasons you mention above I.e. an over active mind.

    @Jeroen - are there any actual meditations of his online that show how to do this?

    It is a meditation that is set to music. The meditation music and the instructions go together, and that’s all you need. The youtube video I had above of the Kundalini does list the instructions, which are basic but sufficient: for example for the first stage it says,

    Be loose and let your body shake, feeling the energies moving up from the feet. Let go everywhere and become the shaking. Your eyes may be open or closed.

    So you just stand and shake, and focus the mind on becoming the shaking. The music is an aid, it provides cues for moving, and usually when the music changes dramatically thats the next stage being announced.
