I sincerely doubt I'm doing it right but I refuse to pay to learn how. Instead, I just repeat a little word in my mind and tune the rest out.

Getting rid of the self? MBTM?

I’m trying to stop saying ”I” during my internal monologue and simply say the action such as “reading a book” or “a door is opening” it makes life a little more fun while also being a Buddhist principle. Its nice to try to limit my ego and escape my sense of self for a while.

Skyler Transcendental Meditation

Some say it’s a cult, and it might be. It’s definitely the “McDonald’s of meditation” but it really works for me and you don’t have to pay for it if you spend 5 minutes on google. Being calm and happy is crucial to making any good music, even if that music you make isn’t calm or happy. I think people tend to fetishize the struggling artist archetype, and I think that’s a very dangerous and inaccurate trend to follow. Find a way to settle your brain down.

Transcendental Meditation

David Lynch is an icon. I love his films. I love his writing. And it’s because of him I started doing transcendental meditation, TM. He is a huge advocate of transcendental meditation. So much so that he started a foundation dedicated to it. I have what my very best friend Rebekah calls “Jazz brain”. I’m constantly all over the place and buzzing. I need a tool that calms me down and grounds me. For me, this is Transcendental meditation. It’s so easy a practice, it’s complicated. You’re given a mantra, you close your eyes, focus on the mantra, and each time your attention veers from the mantra - you gently bring it back. You can't do it wrong. Our attention deviating from the mantra is simply our way of releasing stress aka the millions of thoughts living in our head. I can’t recommend TM enough. It changed my life. I still have jazz brain. I'm still talkative and who I am. But now I have the ability to access the stillness in me.
