Max Richters piece Dream 3 (in the midst of my life)
Like many others, I stumbled into Zoom to support people. Almost 200 YouTube sound meditations later, I am on sabbatical  for the holidays and thinking about what i might offer in January 2021 when I begin again. What do I need? What does the world need.  My answer to both is rest. This post is about a composer who makes music to help us sleep: Max Richter may be in your COVID-19 necessary coping toolkit...

The Work of Max Richter is a COVID-19 toolkit must.

The intention for my sound meditations are to help us STAY AWAKE yet still open hearted in order to continue to show up in the world, which needs us to do so... but sound can also help us sleep.
As I started researching how sound might help us do this, I came across an artist whose work has gracefully delved into "What kind of music would I want if I am sleeping?"  (LINK to it here)  Max Richter sees music as an extension of natures balance and symmetry...for growth.

Max Richter' sleep music for your Covid-19 coping kit.

As a hospice chaplain, I support many in the scariest places they have ever journeyed: to the edge of life. It is the edge of our known world. My intention in my own work is to walk with people to enough ease...to support people in staying awake...while actively giving care in the world. 

Because insomnia is rampant here...on the edge of the known world...and we need "a place to rest".

And he made music (and a film) for SLEEPING PEOPLE..."to help us navigate our way through the chaos that we live in..."

Max Richter Composes with the symmetry of nature...

Max Richter composed a piece of music that lasts 8 hours and is derived from the symmetry of nature.  He has, before COVID-19 restrictions, performed it to sleeping audiences...on cots in symphony halls and outside in amphitheatres for eight hours.  It is lovely.  I would like to recommend it and many other sleep pieces for your COVID-19 coping tool kit

We need to find harmony and growth.  Max Richter sees it in fibonacci
numbers and the symmetry of nature...

May it help you too this holiday season.

SHELTER IN GRACE Sound Meditations may help you stay awake...May it be so.  Thank you for your support too.
