Inspiring music

This moving and inspiring song "Prayer of the Mothers" arose from an alliance made between singer-songwriter, Yael Deckelbaum, and a diverse group of courageous women who lead the movement of “Women Wage Peace". Includes brief message at end from Liberian peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Leymah Gbowee. Warms my heart to no end.

Thank you for sharing Richard! What a wonderful tribute to MJ. I was a huge fan too and especially loved the Earth Song. There is so much truth and love in his music <3

I also want to add this song. I normally don't like Rihanna, but this song (and the video) really intrigued me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXhIT4MpRis

I loved this video, especially as this is one of my favourite songs. The combination of Leonard Cohen's stirring lyrics and the harmony of this band really gets me going.

Another great video by the same band (Pentatonix) is this one - the Evolution of Michael Jackson. It really showcases what people have been talking about their individual creativity to one whole piece.

I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson as a kid. He has some really soul stirring songs, and if you see some of the videos of him, you can see the emotion coming through. I know there was a lot of controversy around him, but I believe only a truly beautiful soul could sing some of these songs with such feeling.

Namaste, Leonard Cohen, sweet and gentle soul, poet king of hearts. Your achingly beautiful songs help to open wounds and let the light in.

"If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you..."

Dear Tulip, thank you for sharing - it touches my heart and soul x

Canadian electronic music group, A Tribe Called Red featuring Black Bear on ace song and video called Stadium Pow Wow. Powerful and inspiring.

"Lord, here comes the flood
We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood
If again the seas are silent
in any still alive
It'll be those who gave their island to survive
Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry."

These songs really hit a sweet spot within. :)

Let it go! Let it go!
Can't hold me back any more!

Thanks tulip, I remember listening to this one multiple times per day with my daughter.

I actually wrote an article about the Disney movie some time ago relating it to the process of letting go, if anyone's interested.

Hi everyone.

I just shared this tune on my website and the response has been great. Every time I listen to it, there's a welling up of emotion. It's really soul stirring.

To me it's a great expression of the divine warrior, preparing to leave this earthly plane. Very powerful, yet touching. Enjoy!

Beautiful Natasha Bedingfield singing the majorly heart soaring song "Unwritten" (do forget the stupid Pantene commercial). It popped up on my car radio early this morning as I was driving to the sunlit beach, lost in a quandary about what to put on that blank page! Perfect synchronicity.

Thank you for the nudge, Pleiadian brothers and sisters. :)

Message received.

"Staring at the blank page
before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate
the words
that you could not find..."

Dirty window so open.

Rise

I really like the possible analogy in this video. Doubts, fears, judgement of what is, lack of faith in life - things that can pull you back, like a parachute on your back in a wind channel. However, you can learn to use these for your own benefit too, and the same 'parachute' can now lift you up so that you may rise...Lovely:)

"When, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, "You're out of time,"
But still I rise

This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in
Think again
Don't be surprised
I will still rise

I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed"

Enthusiasm in this gathering reminds me of the parties at Avalon Rising :-)

"Now you've got me Open-handed,
Now you've got me lost for words."

I always knew Chris Martin was a not-so-secret Openhander.
And anyone who reads Breakthrough will understand why.

"Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful".

Rock on

Open *OK*

That was awesome Katie! Love the energy of the speakers voice and how it rolls into the music.... So uplifting and powerful! Thank you for sharing!! xx Jen

I came across this video today - it's such a great use of a Charly Chaplain speech, I love Chris Martins bones - this videos amazing imo xx

Hi Jen,

Thank you..:) I'm so glad it resonates with you.

Tell me I'm the anchor of my own ascension.
Tell me I'm a tourist in the 4th dimension?

Severance,
The birds of leaving call to us,
Yet here we stand
Endowed with the fear of flight.

Overland
The winds of change consume the land,
While we remain
In the shadow of summers now past.

When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways.

Indifference,
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs
In the shapes of things to come.
Tomorrow's child is the only child.

This is a key song for me right now to feel into and let go of stuck, karmic energy. I love the images in the video. Escaping the matrix through the tunnel of darkness into the Light.

For all the misfits out there, here is Kelly Clarkson's warrior song, People Like Us. Soulmotion at its rockin' best -- a crucial piece of Openhand's 9-step process.

A masterpiece indeed Mark - thanks so much for sharing.

This song for me is not at all about the relationship between the woman and the man. More about the process of the union of the masculine and the feminine, wich culminates in the final phase called Rubedo or redness, in alchemy, a stage where blood (also as a metaphor for our spiritual essence) and passion enters the work. This leads us towards our Garden of Eden, the spiritual gold we've alwasy been seeking for. But in order to get there, we have to cross our Red Sea (our karma, if you will), and everything we've learnt so far on our path has to be integrated into our daily life. The colour of this sacred union is red (and also white - pls watch also the video). This, for me, is the Blood of Eden.

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window
I saw the darkness in my heart
I saw the signs of my undoing
They had been there from the start

And the darkness still has work to do
The knotted chord's untying
The heated and the holy
Oh they're sitting there on high
So secure with everything they're buying

In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
With the man in the woman and the woman in the man
In the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
We wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

Breath taking, simply breath taking Amber. After the Brexit Tsunami, it's the perfect integrational healing music - thanks so much.

This was just what I needed Amber.

Yes, I agree. I saw this happening in a guided meditation at Openhand in Glastonbury back in 2014. The meaning of this vision wasn't immediately obvious to me: there were two huge hemispheres in the 'movie' I was watching with my eyes closed. One was above and it 'turned out to be' the Sun. The other was below, this was the Earth, covered with black mud and this sludge was continously being sucked into the Sun above. When I recently shared all this with a friend, he responded to me without hesitation: 'What you described here is basically the video Black Hole Sun from Soundgarden'....

It's a powerful song and metaphor Mark - one I know well.
Open *OK*

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come

Thanks for sharing Cathy *OK*

Blessed We Are: a beautiful song by Peia that comforts and uplifts my soul. Je me souviens. Je me souviens.

"Blessed we are to dance on this ground
With the rhythm of saints to carry the sound
We hold a prayer for the Earth
For the ones yet to come
May you walk in beauty
And remember your song
Remember why you came here
Remember your life is sacred
Remember why you came here
Remember this life is sacred..."

Canada's K.D. Lang sings the most beautiful version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" that I've heard. The agony and the ecstasy.

"Forgetfulness of our real nature is true death. Remembrance of it is rebirth." ~Ramana Maharshi

Happy Easter Sunday! Rise Up!

This tune send me somewhere so highly beautiful, it reminded me of my childhood in the 00's.
And I splattrered all these random words out:
Of Back when I was in my native country of Bulgaria,
and where every summer I'd crusade back and forth
to my grandparents high top mountain villas.
with no light pollution,
100s of fireflies come out to dance the sometimes deadly, language of love.
Oh it was beautiful!!!
Home grown fruit blessed with grannys Love!
Naa man I got the tears out now
And I can't just stop writting now:=
coz I don't wanna conceal the thoughts about
the 00's, fuck.... alrite I'll do it,
The vibes from the 00's have gone by innit....
we are now midway past the 10's
but we are now different from then on,
now about to embrace the 20's
as we stand with a nuclear reactor brewing our oceans.
Where we our toilet tubes flush all our shit to;
100% of that excreted saucey-grade fertilizer.
Which then deprives our food from nutrients....
coz it breaks the natural recycle, over the years.
I'm telling you! Them homegrown fruit & veg were something elSe.
grown not on over utilized land, but high in the Bulgarian mountains.
They were something else.... our foods' not rig_t
