Day 4: A song that calms you down
This is an easy one. I have had several over the years. At different times in life, music flows into my world, bringing me peace of mind, and a sense of calm. Hanshan Temple Chant became my most recent go-to song when I needed to climb back down off the ceiling.
It puts me into a cycle of moving meditation, not so far removed from doing Tai Chi Chuan. From the beginning gong, wrapping myself in the gentle melody, and drinking in the equally warmhearted voices. Everything becomes slow, beautiful movement, and I am floating.

Well, it’s certainly not Bob Seger. But definitely nice to listen to. Does it come in a longer version? I need something for an hour or more…to do yoga with.

I have a 23 minute version, and I have found a few other hour or more similar music on Youtube.
No, it’s not Bob Seger, but I like him for more upbeat stuff, Fire Lake, Against The Wind, Old time RocknRoll. There’s one nice romantic type of song he does, Somewhere Tonight. I LOVE Turn The Page. And Seger’s is my favorite, tho Metallica does it pretty good.

I love all those. And Roll Me Away. And Night Moves. His lyrics are so metaphorically…deep. Poetry, really.

Oh yes! Night Moves! And The Fire Down Below. Just saw a YT of him on Letterman. He’s still got that really great voice!

For some reason, my computer won’t let me hear what you post. Even if I click it and it takes me to youtube. I love your music choices. I haven’t heard this one, and want to. I will try other things. Grrrr

The Hanshan Temple Chant? Here is the link in Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl-m7VrqqaY If for any reason it doesn’t work from here, try youtube itself and type in Hanshan Temple Chant in the search there. In the results, look for the still pic of a monk like it shows on my site. I hope you get to hear it.
