I was going to keep this to myself, but I realize it would be nice to share with the world my profound Ayahuasca experience. Although, I am not expecting you to understand it. Nothing. I repeat, nothing, neither the accounts I read and heard from others in the last few years, nor any information that… Continue reading Ayahuasca: Love & Hell

Improvisation and all that Jazz
My best songs always sprung from unplanned inspiration. Same applies to certain fitness classes, where one starts off following a pre-planned session but then we end up changing the programme just because. How many times we have to improvise in our daily tasks, anyway? Developing this skill is not only useful, but life-saving. In order… Continue reading Improvisation and all that Jazz

Listen
Although the musical aspect (having a good musical ear, etc.) plays a very important role in knowing how to listen, I will skip that and focus on the general human side. Disgracefully, we have forgotten how to listen as civilization has evolved into more noisy times. Why do we need to listen? - you'd ask.… Continue reading Listen
Can everyone sing (in tune)?
It's the question that I have been asked over and over again throughout the years. My answer (instinctively, at first, and experimentally proven later) has always been: YES, YOU CAN. Think of it this way: can someone with no knowledge/skill on how to make ceramic pots, make ceramic pots? yes they can, as long as… Continue reading Can everyone sing (in tune)?
