Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 As people will know, I try not to " intrude " into the list, as a therapist (from Wanganui, New Zealand), but, as a person, there are some really great songs out there. On the ACT website, don't know if it's available to the general public, but this " thread " has been mentioned, but not really well explored. A couple of my favourites are " angel of the morning " (preferably by the " originals " : Chip and ); and the same couple singing " don't speak in english " , both full of present moment awareness, defusion, acceptance, and values work.

To: ACT_for_the_Public Date: Thursday, September 11, 2008, 6:51 PM Hi everyone I think that music is a powerful tool in the ACT/mindfulness toolkit. I find that much music is a real aid to being in the mindful moment; for instance, try the adagio from Mozart’s clarinet concerto, or the first movement of his clarinet quintet. Just be with the music – don’t try to analyse or understand it, and your mind will have a hard time trying to get through. Regards Kinna This e-mail is personal.

Re: ACT playlist?! Posted by: " Tami Lazzarone " tlazzrat@... tlazzrat Fri Sep 12, 2008 6:28 pm (PDT) One song I like as sort of an acceptance and willingness piece is and old standard " Good Morning Heartache " . It's not motivational. It neither quiets the mind nor soothes. But it does sort of put song to greeting, having, struggling, then not struggling...greeting, having, struggling, then not struggling... I like the little bit of struggle in there because struggle happens. By " struggle " I mean trying to push feelings away or tangle up with thoughts. I listen or sing sometimes as a way of watching and accepting even my " I don't want this " thoughts about painful feelings. It's not perfectly Dalai Lama, but who is? (Not even DL himself) A well known recording is by Holiday, although I think Ella wrote it. Here is if you want to listen...lyrics below... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ3PVm6YbmU -Tami Good morning, Heartache, you old gloomy sight. Good morning, Heartache Thought we said goodbye last night I turned and tossed until it seems you have gone' but here you are with the dawn. Wish I could forget you, but you're here to stay. It seems I met you when my love went away. Now everyday it seems I'm saying to you 'Good morning heartache; what's new?' Stop haunting me now. Can't shake you no how. Just leave me alone. I've got those Monday blues... straight to Sunday blues. Good morning, heartache. Here we go again. Good morning, heartache. You're the one Who knows me well Might as well get used to you hanging around. Good morning, Heartache; ....sit down.
