Given that everyone is\noverwhelmed with COVID-19 news, I just wanted to remind people to find ways to\ncalm their anxieties. Yoga and meditation help me, but so does music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about what types of music bring a smile to your face,\nor peace to your heart. Listen to <em>your <\/em>preferred songs. There is no best\ntype. My husband gravitates to classic rock. His brother and wife like country.\nMy kids prefer contemporary music as well as an eclectic mix of oldies. Some of\nmy friends listen to pop, Elvis, doo wop, and a host of alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are songs in each genre I like. But my go-to for\ncalming myself is usually New Age.&nbsp; Here\nis a list of some of my favorites, with a link to YouTube for each. (I even included\na couple of soft rock titles that strike me in the same way New Age music\ndoes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UX__4aHwYzM\">Adiemus<\/a> by Karl Jenkins  <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bys2pJay54w\">Angel\u2019s Flight<\/a> by Shadowfax <\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zn7eWTsj9wU\">A Thousand Years<\/a> by Sting<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e11zx5TzRxo\">I Am the Light of My Soul<\/a> by Sat Darshan Singh &amp; Sirgun Kaur<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=efsa9XrPcLM\">Inner Energy<\/a> by Ethereal Moments<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3-Yh6rnOchs\">Kiss from a Rose<\/a> by Seal<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tsiDZUOUN_M\">Magnificence<\/a> by Daphne Tse<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kF9C8c2rOmw\">One Man\u2019s Dream<\/a> by Yanni<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LTrk4X9ACtw\">Orinoco Flow<\/a> by Enya<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i3_PG-S9570\">Wood Element for Solo Piano<\/a> by Jason Campbell<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This will be a short post this week.
