In this episode Michael takes listeners into his micro-musitation practice: Three breaths to de-stress. It is a resonant breathing practice that calms the nervous system, reducing fear, anxiety and increasing blood flow.  This also has been found to be very beneficial in boosting immunity and also help you in dealing with respiratory distress.  Being Music is his brand of music that explores both what it means to live each moment as a note in the song of today, while also creating music that helps us 'be' and not 'do'.  He also discusses the view that we are going through a global soul initiation by having to 'be' and not 'do' and how this helps us do inner work which is so crucial to maneuver the inevitable rapids of life with resilience and creativity. Finally he shares the title poem to his new book of poetry When All Is Lost: Finding Heart in the Dark.  He discusses how 'musitations' also means finding a meditative practice in any of the creative arts - the 'muses' that help us transform suffering into creativity - poetry, movement, visual art, gardening, cooking, etc.
