Things I've learnt from trees

1. Slow down, take your time.

2. Bloom with my own bloom.

3. Give freely.

4. Take what comes.

5. There's more to life than just the material world.

6. I'm never alone. We're one.

7. Wish everyone well.

Playing the flute - improvisation

Playing a musical instrument is like playing with a toy. There are no rules to follow, no limitations to what I can produce. I can play nonsense, or I can play a beautiful melody. The only rule I follow is the melody of my heart. 

Every heart has a melody. The melody of fear is different from the melody of peace, the melody of love is different from the melody of jealousy. 

There's no right or wrong melody. Every tune exists as it is.


Things to try:


1. Noise effects (laughter, bird songs)
2. Ornaments
3. Varied breathing

Things that make me unhappy/avoid list

1. Reliving negative moments from my past.
2. Watching too much TV, reading general-audience press.
3. Spending more time online than offline.
4. Ignoring my body.
5. Ignoring my dreams, living someone else's life.
6. Neglecting my brain.
7. Having nothing unusual/exciting to do, expecting nothing good in the future.
8. Having no true friends/close people.
9. Spending too much time indoors, not going out to the nature.
10. Ignoring my spiritual needs.
