kangoIdid it! I hosted my first ever webinar last night and it was a full-on adventure:) Watch the first video for the full low-down. For today’s adventure I tried my hand at using a kango hammer to demolish part of  a wall. You can see how I got on in the second video!

Adventure 165 ~ Publish The Lyrics Of My Own Song

sleepIt’s Day 6 of my song-writing adventure and today I’ve written the lyrics for the final verse and published the lyrics in full here. It was only when I’d written the very last line did I realise what the song is really about!

It turns out I have written a song that works on two levels : it’s both a lullaby and a ‘goodbye’, it’s both an invitation to sleep and an invitation to the ‘final long sleep’. I’ve put the lyrics to the final verse below today’s video for you to read 🙂 .

 

Verse 3 

Close your eyes, it’s late,

I’ll be waiting at the gate

Where the coracle willows are grown.

*

By the crimson lake

Where the water skippers skate,

Where the seeds of sweet sleep are sown.

Refrain

I’ll meet you there

With my hands in the air,

A dance in my heart

And my soul without care!

*

Where the fireflies burn bright,

Where souls sink soft into the night,

Meet me there and I’ll row you safe home.

Adventure 164 ~ Compose A Song For A Choir To Sing [Day 5]

spinal tapToday I wrote the second verse of my song (I’ve put the lyrics below today’s video) and came up with a name for the piece : The Call. I sense things are heading in quite a melancholic direction 😛 .

The Big adventure of the day has been speaking to Gareth Hamill, a professional viola player whom I have never met before today!

Find out what happened here ~

The Call ~ Verse Two

Where Hope rides the breeze

And icy waters, they never freeze

Where the fish swim the strawberry forest.

 

Where the bluebells ring

For the Lavender King

Where the old are young and fearless.

 

I’ll meet you there

With my hands in the air

A dance in my heart

And my soul without care!

 

Where hanging stars in minor key

Sing the song of you and me

Where the moon whispers all of her secrets.

Adventures 160-161 ~ Compose A Song For A Choir To Sing

HandelGosh – things are really hotting up at Adventure HQ! My new series of adventures is well under way all thanks to my adventure radar’s new upgrade  🙂 .

I’ve decided to write a choral piece with a view to it being performed by a choir. This appeals to me for all sorts of reasons :

 

  • I’ve never done this before!
  • It feels good to be creating something FOR other people.
  • It feels good to be creating (full stop!).
  • I feels like an act of connection.
  • I’m not quite sure where the music will come from 🙂 .

There are two videos today (for yesterday’s and today’s adventure) and a SoundCloud link too (see how adventurous I’ve become – I’m even hanging out with rockstars now 😛 ). What’s on SoundCloud is the start of a basic melody/leitmotif. At the moment, what’s in my head sounds ‘a capella’  and like it’s in a huge cave or cathedral!

Day 1 Of My Composing Adventure In this adventure, I get the insight that the calls to adventure are making themselves loud and clear. Day 1 is all about getting ready to create.

Day 2 Of My Composing Adventure Today I create some of the basic melody and play it on an out-of-tune piano. I’ve uploaded what I’ve done so far to SoundCloud and you can listen in here .

I am just going outside and may be some time.

Adventures 158 &159 ~ Have An Out Of Body Experience [6/7]

sgThe last two forays into the world of Out Of Body Experiences have been fascinating and , at times, a little overwhelming. I’m not sure whether I can make conscious, rational sense of my experiences yet. However, what I can say with total certainty is that  these past seven days of adventuring have had a profound emotional impact on me (in a really positive way) . As a tool for personal discovery, OBEs are certainly both rapid and effective!

I am looking forward to continuing this inward journey. The territory is  wild yet inviting ; strange yet familiar ; vast and immense  yet intimate and cradling.

If you want to try this for yourself, I really recommend that you maintain an open, curious and allowing state of mind. I expected to have an experience of something – even if that meant that nothing at all happened or that I remained firmly in my body. I decided to allow all experience to be valid and I think that really helps. I would also recommend William Buhlman’ s CDs – not just for the “training” but also for the stories about his OBE adventures which are fascinating.

Day 6 Of My OBE Adventure In today’s adventure, a part of me knows that it’s really the right time to sit up and pay proper attention 🙂 .

Day 7 Of My OBE Adventure This is my final (recorded) OBE adventure and today I had the most profound experience so far. I set the intention to experience my Higher Self. You can watch what happened here ~

I am just going outside and may be some time.
