Happy New Year everyone, I hope we all will have a good year heart

Let's start the New Year with a Mindfulness Exercise smiley

Mindfulness and Music

An opportunity to practice mindfulness in your everyday life is when you're listening to music. So today I like to invite you to listen to a piece of music and really focus on the sound and vibrations of each note.

If listening to music is not what feels right you might look at a picture and focus on the individual colours and shapes.

enlightenedPlease come back and share with us what kind of feelings that music stirred up within you and other in-the-moment sensations.

@SunshineDaydream813

Hi, there. I hope that you were able to connect with a listener today. The general request queue is a good place to start, or you can browse listeners and send a message to a listener whose profile seems to match up with the type of person who you would like to talk to.

@MidwesternCalmSeeker Actually, no. I looked through the list of people. Most of the listeners who are actually available look really young...and I really think I need someone a little more mature to talk to. I used the advanced search for listeners more suited for me. Tried to connect with two or three of them and had no luck.

It took everything I have to even get this far. But realizing there really isn't anyone here to chat with just kind of shut me down even more.

I'm about one step away from being in crisis...so really not in a good place.

Hi. I feel your pain. I finally got out of bed to take a shower which I hadn't done in 4 days. Been dealing with depression for 40 years.

@amiablePeace77 I listened to this song https://youtu.be/fvPynMI6Umc

It made me feel like I was flying in a plane at 30 thousand feet and the clouds are beautiful in the sunlight.

Then I am in a field in the mountains overlooking the ocean as the sunlight shimmers on the water.
