Good day! I’m pretty sure it was recorded at A4=440 Hz, though all my later music is recorded at 432.1 Hz. You can bet that I (my body, mind, spirit) was tuned to Earth-Frequency when this was recorded ;) At the time of recording, I was practicing 2-3 hrs Tai chi and qigong daily.

🙏 Thank you for your kind words! I hope you enjoy a very fulfilling year! Sincerely, Motoyuki

Thank you Rodrigo! I am thrilled the poem speaks to you. It was the result of years of learning Chinese, copying famous poems in Chinese calligraphy, and then, finally - writing my own! It fit the theme of this album, so I included it. Cheers, to a fulfilling year, filled with the embodiment of spiritual dreams! Moto

welcome

That's quite the complement, thank you! Love from USA! Wishing you a great year, Motoyuki

🙏🏼

Hi Jay, thank you for your engagement with the music! Wonderful to hear you’re using it as backing; and I am curious what you’re accompanying with? :) Yes, you’re correct. In most research, E is the Wood or Jué 角 tone; but when I recorded this I felt that A major moreso capture the feeling I wanted; and given the prominence of the note E in the A major chords, that I’d stick with A. (Or, Perhaps I was lazy and more comfortable playing in A than E and that was the deciding factor?). But I do remember that A simply felt more “resonant” then. Cheers, Motoyuki

Thanks so much for your reply. As for ‘accompaniment’, I simply opened my iPad keyboard app & played along as I listened …

Thank you! The photos Ralph (the Photographer) shared had descriptions of how the photos were taken. Many were taken with Laura. This wouldn't be you, would it?

@@wholeBody Nope it is not me. But I love to see his photos. You all did a great job putting it to music. Very calming indeed.

Hi purple fox, thanks for all your comments! yes, please enjoy and let me know if you have questions! If you really love it and want to spend more time together in a sort of mentorship or health coaching relationship, let me know and I can send more info and/or set up a call! Looking forward to engaging with you! Motoyuki

🙏🏻be well! Motoyuki

Great 👍 Love to help classrooms become a calmer learner environment! When I was teaching, I would have my students practice breathing or calming movements from martial arts to help create a calmer and more focused learning atmosphere! Happy learning, Motoyuki

Thank you!

Glad you read the description! Yes, its quite unique in so many ways, and it also shares many truths with other wisdom traditions as well! I think it's still working today as it explains almost everything there is to know in a way that is both accurate (and over time) simple (as much as it can be anyways . . . ))) 🙏

Of course 😃 We hope you come back to enjoy it again! More to come soon 😄

🙏

Awesome, let us know how it went! Hope it went well (I assume performing on stage?).

Have a wonderful year!

Haha your comments are wonderful, an additive and accurate sum of what’s practical in my offerings. I’ll keep you posted when we’re ready to run the course and we can see if it’ll work for you then. In health and flourishing, Motoyuki

Merci bien!

Thank YOU for sharing your experiences :D I have had at least a couple teachers surmise that it is only through tai chi or chi gong (taiji/qigong) that one can potentially replenish one's essence and pre-natal chi. Barefoot Tai Chi is the Way. It's clear in your message that your understanding of flow is a practice that finds home in more than just the physical Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

Woebot knows what’s up :)

:) haha see the description. It was a cute deer, we stared for awhile although he didn't oblige my invitation to come and be pet (not like the one's on Miyajima (an Island in Japan with a lot of almost-too-friendly deer).

It's all recorded meticulously at 60 bpm, maybe you're thinking of the individual notes at times? The four chord structure that changes every four beats follows that tempo.

And there you have it folks! From someone presumably more local than I. Although you can maybe see why my explanation is a sensible assumption…. Perhaps you can clarify then - does that mean the town came after the naming of the River? What about White Salmon - is the River named after the town or is it the other way around (in case of HR?)? And how about Mosier Creek; in that one presumably the town came first?! From what I understand anyways! A bit more boring of an explanation than I offered…. But if that’s the truth, then there we have it folks - Hood River is a beautiful small town (now a city perhaps) located near Mt Hood, right on the Columbia River . . . named not after the meeting of Mt Hood and Columbia River ( it sure looks like it tho), and rather, after the same named "Hood River" that flows from Mt Hood Wilderness through the City to it's drainage into the great Columbia River. . . . Cheers . . . Thank you Robert

@@wholeBody I’m not sure how local you are but I’ve experienced a lot around here growing up a few feet from the Hood River itself. So I defos know about the river. It used to be called dog river cuz the natives refer to the type of salmon which commonly breed in the river as dog salmon or something like that. Not cuz we have a lot of dogs which people think haha but I don’t know about white salmon. It’s a really cold and white river so I thinks it’s named after that. The town of white salmon defos was named after the naming of the river I’d assume. But I’m curious now. And same with the mosier creek haha even tho the town might have been named first. I’d say there’s 0% chance the town was named that out of nowhere and then they found a creek and called it mosier creek cuz the town was named that already. And it’s unlikely it was created after the town was formed but maybe you’re right. I think it was just commonly called mosier creek by locals, the creek, and some people might have not called it that and then the town go it’s name cuz the locals referred to is as that but the creek wasn’t ever officially named and then after the town was named the creek was officially named. Soo the town isn’t named after the creek but maybe before it.

That’s very wordy to explain. But if I see you around I’ll try to say. I hope you do the same and maybe we talk about some history or go ask someone at the museum or something to get to the bottom of it.

@@ffrreeddyy123456 Sounds like a plan, thanks for sharing your local lore. I've got to re-up on my museum-going, something I actually enjoy a lot; once I'm not out entrepreneuring . . . rest soon . . . take care

Welcome, visit soon!

🙏🏻

Welcome

Danke schön, zum Wohl

Thanks!

Wishing you all the warmth of the holidays

I'd never heard of the guy; so I looked him up; his music inspired an upcoming education piece!

Yes

Yup, it's like those sci fi movies in which the journey begins only after we have been cleaned and washed of our 'earthly conditioning' in the outer chambers of the space ship. . . . Some think the role of therapy is to help us connect with those essential pieces of who we are outside of those layers of acquired earthly baggage . . . . I think may approaches may get us to a similar place . . . And the foundation for those journeys often do begin with the basics: proper and appropriately tuned breathing, hydration, reflection, nutrition, mindfulness based movement and relationships, purpose! Thank you for your comment, may ya continue to strengthen that power of alignment with the Inner You
