Musitations™: Exploring Music, Meditation, Creativity and Wisdom

Bill Schulz (Chiz) has been my oldest and dearest soul brother and friend for the last 42 Earth years.  He was the first one that awakened in me both the practice of meditation at the age of 16, and the first person I explored musitations and soulversations with.  We have shared a love of using music as a form of inquiry into the nature of reality and being-at-large through our over 4 decades of friendship.  Our love for exploring the stars, night sky, and the natural world equaled our love of creating music for healing ourselves and others.  In this rare and deep dive into the origins of the idea of musitations and soulversations we explore understanding of music, nature and the soul.  We also journey back and discuss what we use musically call  'Soft Space' which was another phrase for what we understood as 'soul space' where we both felt our identities 'dissolve into a river of sound.'    
Topics we explore in Episode 7:
What is the relationship between music, nature and the soul?
What was unique, strange, curious about our particular form of playing and listening to music from the beginning?
What is the role of silence in our lives and music that we love to listen to and play?
Why is the awareness of impermanence, emptiness and death central to understanding music and musitations?
When was the first time you felt seen, heard and were able to talk about and share what is most important to you?
