    WHAT IS AN EAR MOVIE?
    Your step to mindfulness. Listen from start to finish, eyes closed, headphones on.
    Notice feelings, but no judgment. Music guides you. Lost in thought? Music brings you back.
    Noticed drifting? Come back gently. That's mindfulness. Refocus on the SOUNDS + experience the now.

lyrics

They made you think that you’re a player
They made you think that you can win
But you have wasted all your power
Cuz the only way out is in

I’m trapped inside a fuckin cage
Of flesh and bones what a disgrace
But I like it here, it feels like home
I eat I pray I fuck I shit but shhh.
I love it

I am made of hopes and thoughts and memories
A billion blurry pictures make what I believe
And yet I keep playing a game I never won
Nobody knows what’s going on

Inside
Inside
What do you hide?
What do you hide?
Inside

I’m trapped inside a fuckin cage
It’s turned into a mirror maze
Open up the gates
Shed the armor
But knock knock
Who’s there?
Unresolved trauma

We are made of hopes and thoughts and memories
A billion blurry pictures make what we believe
And yet w keep playing a game w never won
Nobody knows what’s going on

Inside
Inside
What do you hide?
What do you hide?
Inside



They made you think that you’re a player
They made you think that you can win
But you have wasted all your power
Cuz the only way out is in

So let the game begin

They only have one goal
They only have one goal
They only have one goal
They wanna steal your
Soul

It’s possible

Stay away
Stay away
Cuz I know your goal
Is to steal our soul
Stay away
Stay away
Cuz I know your goal is to
steal our soul

None of you business what I hide

What do you hide?
Inside?
Inside

You’ve gotta protect your
You’ve gotta protect your
You’ve gotta protect your
SOUL

It’s possible

You’ve gotta protect your
SOUL

Thich Nhath Hanh :
Understanding our suffering
we understand the suffering of our father, our mother
Our ancestors, our People
And that understanding can bring about compassion
That has the power to heal
To transform
And when we get lighter
When we get healed
We can help other people around us
To do the same
To get the healing and transformation
And we can do that iwthout any electronic devices
It’s possible
