This was amazing. I hadn't even heard the full song before putting it on loop. I listened five times on that loop, while doing some of my physical therapy exercises amidst taking a break from working on writing up my doctoral dissertation. I have had some writer's block of late, and while I initially thought I would try this with the potential of being upbeat and motivating (and short, in case it wasn't working for me, as I really do need to get back to writing), this helped me to clear my mind, get lost in the music, and work both body and mind in a refreshing way. I note your educational background, which is in many ways similar to my own. At one point I contemplated doing a Master's in Music Therapy but was unable physically to do so (though I have been a musician and audio engineer for many years), leading to a shift to Counseling Psych, only focusing on person-envirinment fit in the workplace and general vocational psychology- back then. These days I'm researching personal and social identity (in General Psychology) from a genealogical perspective. People's stories, their places, their experiences - every bit of it makes us who we are. This track reminded me of why I am doing the work I chose at this stage, and how very close I am to completing my degree and moving on to putting all this into good use.
I thank you for sharing this wonderful gift with us here in the Insight Timer community. I've followed you, bookmarked a few of your other tracks to listen to later, and have saved this one to multiple folders and a couple Playlists. Absolutely fantastic.
I see you and the light within you. Be well. 🤲🏻💖🤲🏻
