NYC ∞ FERRY ∞ MEDITATION


They just built a pier a block from my apartment, so, I recently took the new East River Ferry for a free spin around the city. It was quite a rush, and absolutely refreshing. Plus, I got some great footage, so I felt compelled to share. I decided to set it to my new drum project, H E A R T ∞ B E A T, featuring Rob H., and myself. I am quite pleased with the sounds we are coming up with. Long time friend and master percussionist, Robert, just moved to NYC from LA. We have been rekindling the flame of the everlasting World Beat. Enjoy! Love To All! ~ C.B.

Most of you probably know that I am a musician. Some may not. But, the truth is, I am here to play music. I have been playing since I was 9. I am now 35. It has always been my calling.

But, 8 years ago, when along a road trip up Route 1, along the Full West Coast of the U.S., from Tijuana, Mexico to Vancouver, Canada, I had a shift in Consciousness. I knew for the first time with absolute certainty that I am here to play music. The decision came to me "readymade." There was no doubt, not even .01%. I knew I had to to move to NYC to play and share music. I recall driving up that coast and thinking ~ I wanna be touring up this coast, playing music, and sharing great times with authentic human beings... well, dreams do turn into reality. Here I Am...  

When I am on tour, I am sure this blog will slow down, but it will be a time of building towards bigger adventures, and refreshing insights. I am so grateful that everyone has allowed me into their lives. It is a wonderful experience... I hope to see you on the road.

F A M I L Y ∞ M E D I T A T I O N


Last week I went home to VA and NC to visit my family. It was a relaxing and pleasant experience, so I wanted to share the way that I view my family. This is what it is like to visit family from my perspective. I hope that we can all take something meaningful out of this playful video. I want you all to know that you are my family too, I Love You! ~ C.B.

Q U E S T I O N ∞ & ∞ A N S W E R


I recently posted this quote that came thru me...

We must first allow Life to be the way it is, fully accepting, allowing, and embracing that Life knows what we need, when we need it. ∞♥∞

This quote seemed to raise a lot of questions, and I felt this question from Al Bailey summed it up really well...

"The HOW to is vital in sharing the what to do. C.B., could you give an example of HOW you reach this experience. The HOW to may be different for each of us; yet breathing is our commonality. Please share how it relates with "Breathing Solutions" for the sake of conversation and our personal growth process. Blessings..."

So, here is my response...

"I was simply referring to accepting the is-ness of any situation that arises in our daily lives. Simply the initial "is-ness." There is great power in this. From there, we can choose wisely. Otherwise, to not accept the initial is-ness, is to react. We will find that when we can learn to "Breathe First," we are no longer the reaction to any given circumstance that occurs in our life situation. When practiced, we will be better equipped to deal with situations as they arise. We will no longer "become the reaction." I am thankful that we are all helping each other here. It is a wonderful experience."
