Today I have a wonderful, soothing excursion into your own calmness for you! I teach you how to meditate in silence (but before that on my own meditative bass recorder music), which is not "thinking about nothing", but rather travelling into an ocean of peace and quiet, where your thoughts will be bubbling up as part of the journey. It's the way of your body to release stress. Observe your thoughts, be curious but just watch them (you are more than just your mind!). Then come back to the ocean of peace and quiet. You will see how relaxed you will become! I already made another video, which is a guided mindfulness practice. Both these types are great for us musicians, as well as anybody. It's a way of connecting again with our bodies, with the Earth, and we learn to listen. Listening is very difficult in today's chaotic world, so it's great to take a break every day and meditate, or even just take some breaths and listen to yourself without any judgement. Doing meditation and mindfulness practice helps against anxiety and clears the mind as well! It helps us getting to a place of creativity and productivity, with plenty of energy. It's great to do in the morning, really gets us grounded; and also as a break in the middle of the day. At night I recommend another kind of meditation, like the 6 Phase Meditation by Vishen Lakhiani (Mindvalley), or journalling (writing a page of anything to get it all out of your head for the night). I recorded this while still being stuck in Costa Rica, when they closed the borders and didn't open them for months. This was in June last year, but where the first video took a lot of time and effort, this one even took more. But here it is!! Composition/performance of music on bass recorder: Lobke Sprenkeling
