Unconditional love is a state

,

There is only one love.
It's unconditional and you can't give or receive it;
You become it.
You are accepting of everyone and everything,
including yourself,
because you know we sometimes can't help for the way we’ve been programmed.
You take everyone as a part of yourself,
and only want what's best for all.
Unconditional love is a state.
Unconditional love is a vibe.
Unconditional love is.

Sway Hits 100k Streams

,
 

Glad to learn my rendition of Sway
is resonating with you.
Today it became my second tune to hit over 100 000 streams on Spotify.
This track was produced and mixed by me;
It was easy to do since my musicians played so creatively
and it was recorded so flawlessly by expert engineers.
A true and beautiful teamwork.
I also hope this can inspire you to do ‘it’ yourself - whatever ‘it’ is.
Sharing the project with others in the studio (and with you guys!)
really is the best feeling in the world,
and in order to get to those situations
the first impulse and step starts with one person.
Sometimes, that person is you!
Don’t ignore your creative impulses.
Don’t put your light under a bushel.
Share your light and
answer the call - someway, somehow - it’s there for a reason.
Listen to Sway via Spotify above, or via Apple Music HERE.
XO,

I’ve linked Track 5 above; The Potential Hero.
Written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by me.
Hope I can inspire you to self-represent;
whatever it is you would like to create; just do it!
I believe in you!!

Find my book at Local's

, , ,
 

No matter if you are just a visiting kook or a local you can wind down with Rockaway’s best coffee and my poetry book at Local’s Collective (190 Beach 69th St in Rockaway). My faves are their iced latte with almond milk, banana bread and vegan chocolate chip cookie. My book is in their cafe library. It’s also on Amazon if you want to pick up a copy.

It really is the best coffee in Rockaway.

 

Stopping by Katy Keene

Seena_KatyKeene+2.jpg

I did a cameo in this weeks episode of Katy Keene! It's super short - definitely a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. That being said I'm really happy that they chose to cast a female in the role of 'music producer'.
This would probably not even have been thought of as an option two decades ago,
due to the gender inequality in the music business.
The world is moving forward every day and it's cool to be a small part of the change :)
Thanks for having me team Katy Keene!

I learned transcendental meditation

P8130566.jpg

I’ve been an avid yoga practitioner for the last decade. Yoga can be a wonderful form of meditation, depending on your intention and awareness of that fact, when practicing.
And when I write and record my best music I also feel like I’m getting into an effortless flow-state, tapping into the subconscious and/or some creative source I can’t explain.

But I had yet to try a “100%” meditation-only technique up until recently when I finally took the time and signed up for a Transcendental Meditation course.

The reason I picked TM as my meditation technique was because I heard Ray Dalio speak so highly of it. 
I also watched an introduction video on TM by Bob Roth before signing up. Both of them left me with the impression that TM is a basic, no-nonsense meditation that works. All that is required is that you do it two times a day for 20 minutes.

There is also research that shows that TM has a positive effect on everything from reducing high blood pressure to minimizing anxiety. I don’t have high blood pressure or anxiety, but I’m curios by nature and I always want to try things that can make me be a better version of myself, so I signed up.

The official TM course is a four day course conducted by The Maharishi Foundation, a non-profit educational organization. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was the person who introduced TM to the US, so this is the reason behind the foundation name.

There are TM centers all over the world, and the one I ended up taking my course at was the Madison Avenue location in Manhattan.

The first of the four days is a one-on-on session with a certified TM teacher, and the three remaining days are group sessions. I enjoyed the experience and I’m so happy I took the time to learn something I can use for the rest of my life. I’d share more of my experience if it weren’t for the fact that when you sign up to learn TM you have to agree not to share too much of how exactly to do the technique. This is in order to avoid misunderstandings, which I can appreciate. If you want to learn TM the only place to do for real is via an official center, which you can locate on tm.org.

XO,

Seena
