Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation) to the ones paying heed, this is where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and the importance of our attention, why is that? Now ‘let us remember this again, ‘What we give our Attention to matters,’ as Our life’s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to.
Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour.
This week I bring to your attention another excerpt which we have titled – Good Vibes from the book titled ‘Healthy Pleasures’ by David Sobel and Robert Ornstein.
Playing to the natural strengths of mind and body, Healthy Pleasures explores the many ways to extend our lives as we enrich them, by understanding the crucial role of pleasure in our health.
Using the latest research in medicine, biology, and psychology, the authors — a renowned brain researcher and a leading expert in preventive medicine — propose a new way to manage health, with less effort and more fun.
Good Vibes
Almost everyone has a musical preference, playing “radio roulette,” tapping feet in time to music, singing along with a favorite tune at the top of our lungs. We don’t have to splurge for a subscription to the symphony, retreat under headphones, or go to church to tune in to how music affects us. Be it Bach, jazz, rock, gospel, or pop, music is a mood mover. The right music at the right time brings us joy and serenity and soothes frazzled nerves. It lifts us up when we’re down, and calms us when we’re too excited.
One study showed that moving to an even rhythm made muscles flex and extend more smoothly. And music may get you in tune with your body, increasing endurance, regulating breathing, and getting you in the mood to exercise.
