Ambient nature sounds have the ability to aid sleep, reduce
stress, and provide a relaxing atmosphere for activities such as
yoga, tai-chi, and meditation.

televisions, and office machines. Nature sound recordings can
offer us an escape from these unnatural surroundings, and allow
us to reclaim our balance. Popular sounds used in ambient
recordings are: ocean waves, creeks, waterfalls, wind, rain,
thunder, and birds. Our sense of ...

"Without music life would be a mistake"
These are the words of the famous German Philosopher Frederik
Nietzsche, and as a specialist in pronunciation and Accent
Reduction for non-native English speakers, I can attest to this
regarding the English language. English is a musical language,
as is Italian, Chinese, Portuguese, and many other languages.
The trick to speaking English with clarity and impact, is
understanding the melody and rhythm that is ...

Music and Emotion
The Age-old Puzzle of Human Response
By Bill Reddie
If you've listened to more than a little music, you've most
likely received an emotional reaction from some of it. You've
probably noticed that whenever that happens, the effect is
initially unexpected and varies in its intensity. Its also a
safe bet that you cannot truly explain or define why it affected
you. You might be listening to a Symphonic work, a Jazz combo,
something Country or a Folk song. Whatever the style, it ...

will help to determine what type of person you are tomorrow. Be
careful about what type of music you choose to listen to. Music
can either build you up or tear you down.
Garbage in, garbage out

deliver positive messages through their music and then there are
artists that deliver destructive, hateful messages in ...

The Covenant and Christ
All are under sin, whether under the law or barbarians, and
apart from the Law we are all in need of righteousness. Not one
of us can stand before God righteous apart from Christ in us as
our righteousness. God does have a covenant with Israel as His
chosen race and we as believers are grafted onto the chosen race
by grace. This is where there is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave
nor free for we are all in Christ, and there is a level playing
field for all mankind who are ...

The Openness of God
A different perception of God has arisen in Evangelical
Christianity that while not being new, has challenged the way we
have always thought about God's nature. This paradigm shift is
seen by it's authors to bring us closer to the biblical
conception of God. The book is called The Openness Of God and is
seen to be very controversial in it's perception of God and will
have sweeping effects on every other area of evangelical thought
and life.
The God shown in this book is not ...

Shhh'.can you hear it?
One of the most powerful forms of mindfulness is awareness of
sound. We tend to tune out the noise of our lives in order to
concentrate on the tasks at hand.
In fact, we may get so used to a particular sound that we don't
notice it until it's gone'like a television that is turned off,
or traffic that stops outside your home, or your neighbor's lawn
mower or stereo that is suddenly silent.
We notice when it starts, we intentionally shut it out, and then
notice it once ...

5.Christ and Vocation Then Jesus said to them all: "If anyone
would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross
daily and follow me.' As the second part of this series on
Christ and culture, Christ and vocation should be understood as
the domain where God is revealed to society in our day to day
lives. To understand the relationship between Christ and
vocation, we cannot keep them rigidly compartmentalised. Your
vocation is your cross. You are the cross that God's life hangs
upon ...

I am unashamed to copy the success techniques of the successful.
Since 'imitation is the highest form of flattery,' I am pleased
to flatter one whose success I admire.
After all, I am after the success. Originality is great, but

However, there are limits.
