1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, Drink - DJ Justin Cornwall on Music, Alcohol and AA

“Drugs and alcohol have become an integral part of the music scene, there’s no way around it sometimes.
Figure yourself out before you step into that environment and it makes things a lot easier. If you’re already lost, or figuring things out, throwing drinking into the mix will just keep you lost.”– Justin Cornwall

Release with Poetry: “Digital Kiss” by Dorian Gray

Posted by strange on April 29, 2015

Born into a generation, where apathy is our favorite trait
Watch the world spin as you don’t care at all
But inside we’re screaming as our walk turns into a crawl
A race to a finish line, that we believe so much exists
The demon of effortless perfection takes over through digital bliss
As we count the hearts, count the likes,
Always checking so no approval is missed
As our world slowly fades to black,
As we die by the digital kiss.

Easy Way to Calm Anxiety with Direction of Breath

Posted by strange on March 31, 2015
Easy Way to Calm Anxiety with Direction of Breath

The placement and direction of your breath is key to calming down when anxious. When you’re anxious, notice if you mainly breathe in your chest and if your shoulders lift. Anxiety causes a disconnect with our first three chakras; root, sacral and solar plexus. This disconnect forces us to breathe up, up, up the body, into our chest causing anxiety. When anxious, breathe into your belly and direct your exhales down your body and into the Earth. Lengthen your exhales so they become longer than your inhales. This will bring breath back into the first three chakras to calm and center you.
