  • This ukulele lesson is an invitation to cultivate a relaxed, nonjudgmental state of mind. This simple but profound exercise trains one in resting one's awareness on the felt sensations of breathing and listening to the sounds that arise in the present moment.
    Practiced regularly, you will deepen your connection to your natural state of being and cultivate greater clarity, focus and greater joy for your music journey. Try this practice, then jam and notice the difference in the quality of your attention!

    Thank you, Stu. The outdoor sound may appeal to many. However, I have hearing issues and it makes hearing you clearly challenging for me. Thanks for all you do!

      Yes, I understand… I film this with a different camera, and there was no windscreen which lead to some audio drops! Stay tuned for more 😊
