Peace and love

When I play the guitar and sing, I feel peace and love. And my husband is very supporting of my new found interest. Playing Sat Narayan over and over, and some Rise up in between. :-) My fingertips hurts again...

A couple we know are going through a separation right now with betrayal as a key ingredient and there are children involved. Not pretty, but the thought of this whole sad story this makes me feel more love then ever for my husband. I would never want to cause that kind of pain onto him. Just the thought of him makes me smile, I can hardly believe I am so lucky to call him my husband!

Today we have finished painting the front of our house windows and doors, they are now beautiful English red! The house looks amazing, very warm and inviting. I am so happy! My mother, me and my husband have spent this weekend and tonight painting. My father has been giving tips on what paint to use and how to go about this project. It has truly been a joint effort, and that feels nice! Especially since I have been keeping my calm and not hitting the roof with all my "I know how this should be done myself not taking any advice"-feelings, as I used to do. That is great! I look forward to more peaceful family relations in the future, just due to my own handling of things. I changed, no one else. :-)

Cherish those you have around, friends and family. Love to all.

It's time of the Lord and love is all you see...

My darling husband has collected his old guitar from is parents house and now I'm play again. I have been able to play Rise up half way through and it's a beautiful feeling. :-) But the guitar smells kind of funny so I will have to let out into the garden tomorrow for some air.

You all might think that I always have liked singing and playing instruments but no, that is so not the case. I have always liked music, but gurbani and kirtan has awaken my own longing to participate in music. And I love it! Learning to play an instrument (or two) makes me feel like everything is possible... No boundaries!

Wahe Guru!

Peace & Bliss

Music, go with the flow

Sat Narayan Wahe Guru
Hari Narayan Sat Nam

Sat Narayan is True Sustainer,
Wahe Guru is indescribable Wisdom,
Hari Narayan is creative sustenance
Sat Nam is True Identity.

This mantra is chanted to create inner peace so one can project outer peace, happiness and good fortune. Narayan is the aspect of Infinity that relates to the water element. This mantra helps you “go with the flow” and takes you beyond the world to the experience of Infinity.

Some weeks ago I got a wonderful gift from GuruGanesha; the chords for his version Sat Narayan. My initial thought was that I would learn to play them on guitar but my sister has really been in total control of the guitar lately so I have started play on the keyboard instead. And now I have created a short recording, full of noise and crappy sounding. But is so fun!

Thank you, GuruGanesha, for helping me! May you be surrounded by eternal love!

I can't resist music

I can't resist it any more, I want to play and I want to sing. And since me and my sister both want to play the guitar, and I do not want to fight her to get hold of the guitar, I have come up with an alternative plan: I have collected my sisters old keyboard(with her consent) from our parents house. And now I am playing my chords on the keyboard instead. Singing and playing along with Snatam Kaur and GuruGanesha here in my living room, they are not here for real of course, they are singing from my stereo and I sitting here with my keyboard and the computer in front of me. I have been singing my heart out in Sat Narayan and Hari Om. On the computer I am looking sites with chord on the piano so I know where on the keyboard to press my fingers, while trying to move my fingers on the actual keyboard. Here is one piano chord site I have found. This is fantastic, I can play and I can sing, I sure it would sound like crap to you, but I am in heaven. This is so fun. I have also found some learn-how-to-play-and-sing-kirtan on youtube that I will try later.

I never ever thought I had so much music wanting to get out of me, I love it, I feel surrounded.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Bliss & peace

Learn to play guitar

Ok, so I borrowed a guitar last night and started trying to play. Started by learning some chords from this site, I now I have set some chords to the Mul mantra (wanted to play this from Snatam, but the finger placements were to hard), if you can play and instrument; tell me if you like it.


[Dm] Ek Ong Kar  [Am] Sat Nam [G] Kartaa Purkh Nirbhao Nirvair

[Dm] Akaal Moorat [Am] Ajoonee [G] Saibhang Gur Prasaad Jap

[Dm] Aad Sach [Am] Jugaad Sach [Em] Hai Bhee Sach  [G] Nanak Hosee  [Em] Bhee  [Am] Sach


Now I have been trying to move my finger on the guitar since I got up and now I have to take a break, 'cause my fingers hurt so much. I also think my neighbours are getting quite fed up with my bad attempts with this guitar playing. I played guitar 15 years ago the last time, and I weren't any good then, so I don't know why I think things are going to change... But all the kirtan listening has awoken some strange urge in me to play and sing of my own. So please, try these chords if you feel like it and tell me how to improve. And please be nice, only been playing for about four hours, so how god could it be... I really think my husband is happy that he isn't at home today, is there anything worse than listing to someone who can play an instrument trying? For four hours?

Have a really nice day! And remember, keep up and you'll be kept up!
