so last Saturday night i decided to go on a "music fast." i have done this one or twice before. i go one week without any music whatsoever. the purpose? to clear my mind - clear it of noise and confusion, and clutter. reason numero dois is to clean my music pallette and start from scratch. there is so much great - great music out there. quality...you know? so this practice/exercise is a bit of quality control for me. and the third reason - yes three....is to make more time and space for meditaion!
but i'll tell you what. the first few days where HARD! music withdraw yes. first thing when i get in the car is reach for the radio dial (NPR or country) and first thing i do when i get to work is bring up i-tunes.
now - having gone more than 5 days, and my mind is clearer - sharper - keener!
...however - i am excited to bring back the music come Monday. i do think it's a powerful element that is a must in life. wahoo!
i live in a brand new condo - and i just got a new roommate (aside from the 23 yr. old) she's the owner of the condo - asian - from cali and 50 years old! how's that for fun! hmmm......
