I generally wake up late on Sundays and attend a half primary at ten AM so I can have my morning coffee with the husband. I had such a positive experience during my Friday led, that I woke up early today for the eight AM led. No two days are the same right? My teacher brought something called a Shree box ( I think that’s how it is spelled), and she had it “tuned” to a chord/sound that was to promote a sense of relaxation & focus. She used it at the beginning and at the end of practice. I am very sorry to say that to my uneducated and quick to judgement ears it sounded like a very big and loud tropical mosquito in danger of entering my ear. I will not blame it on that, but practice was hard. At the end she led us through some pranayama breathing exercises, which I gather is routine for the AM Sunday class, but were a first for me and I must have botched them badly because by the time Savasana rolled around, I was I’d say high as a kite. which would have been great, except the Shree box was turned on again which gave me a case of the giggles which I nervously but successfully smothered. I hobbled out of there as quickly as I could.
Shruti box. I have one of those. Next time you come up to visit, I’ll get it out and play it while Princess Fur does the macarena. But you’re not allowed to laugh! 😉
Shruti Box, thank you. My teacher said she bought it awhile ago and she’s a little scared of it. It reminded me of my relationship with my sewing machine. I made 2 shirt type things and had PTSD when I was done, so I haven’t touched it since. I will solemnly listen to your recital should I be so lucky 🙂 On Feb 26, 2012, at 1:02 PM, comment-reply@wordpress.
Thanks for this post. It made me laugh out loud–twice.
Con mucho gusto Sumerce…Giggling beats whimpering, right?
HAhaha. made me laugh, too. Perhaps she didn’t know how to play it right? Noah Maze uses it a lot and it actually sounds soothing. I’m pretty uneducated in this area as well 😉
