An Odd Boy : Mr. Love

“It’s the music Mr Love,” I said, feeling slightly anxious. “I hope you don’t mind – but I don’t know what it is. I’ve never heard that music before and . . . and . . . I like listening to it. What is that music, please?”

He smiled. “It’s . . . Blues,” he replied, beaming at me. “It’s from America. That is why . . . you have never heard it before.”

I asked him if I would be able to hear it somewhere and he replied “People don’t listen to music like this in England.” Then he laughed quietly, “It’s a little too . . . lively . . . yes . . . too lively.”

Kum Nye

"[...] Kum Nye is a gently transforming yet powerful holistic practise that works intuitively on every part of our being. The exercises used in Kum Nye have all been designed to awaken and encourage a healthy robustness. Its subtle effects may be felt through a feeling of: vitality within the body, peace of mind, and a buoyant spirit. This can be understood as a complete state of open relaxation that is our natural state of being, but something we seemingly lose through the increasing demands of present-day life. So by regularly practising Kum Nye we may actively move toward bringing our “being” back to its natural vibrant wholeness."
