I have fun new system, and I'm so pleased with myself that I thought I'd share it with you.
I think a lot of you know about the pray-as-you-go podcasts, put out by Jesuit Media Initiatives (you also know I'm falling for the Jesuits). For those of you who don't, they're short daily meditations that manage the rare feat of being brief but not superficial. Just in the last week or two I discovered YogaJournal's video podcasts (I've used their audio classes, but that can be tricky for me).
And THEN I thought... wait! I could make a mini-playlist that combined the two, and use pray-as-you-go for my meditation during corpse pose (the relaxation at the end of a yoga session)!
I'm disproportionately pleased with myself.
Also, in a fit of playlist fervor, I also made playlists for each of my runs this week, starting each of them off with that day's pray-as-you-go.
AND the rest of my playlist is Sara Groves. I keep meaning to tell you guys about her. I stumbled onto her on Pandora (and thank you, Ms. Kresge, for reminding me that yes, Virigina, Pandora does Christian rock, too). I bought the "Tell Me What You Know" album a couple of weeks ago, and I LOVE IT.
This song was the one that grabbed me first:

This is SO COOL. I often do yoga (well, pretending to stretch might be a better term) during PAYG, but I had no idea about the Yoga Journal podcasts. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Love you. thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have all of Sarah Groves music. She is amazing :) My parents have actually seen her live, and I'm hoping for the privilege some day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies. (It's so fun when people share excitement!)
