[@emiliaburgos5404]

[@loljoker127]

All the best of luck, I find it really relaxing to spend time with myself listening to this type of music as it helps with my mental health. I usually do tai chi, yoga, water painting, meditation - breathing techniques with my eyes closed or just as some examples. There's a bunch of things you can do online called 'artist's dates' if you ever find yourself lonely. Remember despite how alone you feel, we are never truly alone in our own company (bonus points for the cat).

I have been discovering many new tunes and rediscovering a bunch of old favorites. May you all continue to find peace!

[@doolv671]

I’m having a really hard time .. consuming toxicity all around me daily .. feeling trapped and hopeless while my creativity and imagination plummeted creating an even more suffocating environment without a mind willing to transcend the physical. My situation gives me bouts of tears, depression and fear. This is one of the little things that is helping in saving me from myself and everything around me. I listened to it when I first woke up whilst brushing my teeth and it feels like there’s a secret world out there and that the despair in my head is only temporary

[@krueppelkind]

Hope you feelin better these days

some of this Japanese scenery music is my favorite to trip too i highly recommend Hiroshi Yoshimura "GREEN" (1986) some of the same feel as here but with more of a binaural beat every now and again very nice background for your trip stay strange brother much love

I'm so grateful & blessed for this music. Honestly, whenever I listen to these ambient sounds, they send me into a serene space where everything dissipates. Ever since stumbling upon Hiroshi Yoshimura, I've been hooked on this music. Thank you very much for sharing these timeless gems.

[@Camdavis11]

Hiroshi Yoshimura is sooooo good. Might I recommend Haruomi Hosono? Specifically his cassette, Watering a Flower. I think you'll totally enjoy it. music.kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2SXg2R-pdSafKs&feature=share

[@jmanderson84]

It is meaningful to me that I am discovering Kokubo as the dreadful winter is giving way to the early stages of spring, this music provides a serendipitous soundtrack to the end of a season I wasn’t sure I’d make it through. Here we are, and nature’s cycles are contrasted to provide rich beauty when it’s needed most.

[@user-dx7we2xd3u]

Acho a pior coisa, usar meios artificiais como drogas para se sentir bem, o risco de dependência é enorme, entrei nesta vibe e saí.. mas quantos terão esta capacidade? Quando estiverem velhos e na vala? Tenho 63 anos e penso, o tempo é o senhor das horas.. é só pensar!

[@eriksorvino3651]

That feeling.... When I woke up devastated..... Then, its raining outside..... But, I am feeling very grateful because I can spend whole day under blanket.... That feeling When You are completely alone, But feeling exceptional connection Within Yourself. That feeling When You are putting Your fingers in Plant soil first time after Many years.... Little bumps of soil under Your nails..... That feeling of Autumn wet humidity When You passing by some Chinese restaurant in some lonely NYC street and locals smoking outside... That feeling ....When there is first summer shower and humidity is out of control after..... That feeling ... When You are touching some green Cold jelly with warm fingers......

[@sean85ster]

That feeling when you are heterosexual - but like being gay. And its accepted - yet confusing for many. So you have to come out of the closet as heterosexual again - but then kinda give up on labels entirely.

Listening to this makes me think of a bit humid, warm jungle forest with rainbows and big open corridors, and that we must all do what we can to protect nature and the environment. As soon as the quarantine ends, we will be able to enjoy nature in it's purest form and we must honour such beauty by showing love to its birth-giver.
