Yoga for Emotional Flow: Free Your Emotions Through Yoga Breathing, Body Awareness, and Energetic Release

More than 4,000 years ago, the early masters of yoga made an astonishing discovery: before we can find true happiness, we must first learn how to be open to the energy of our emotions. On Yoga for Emotional Flow, Stephen Cope, psychotherapist and Senior Scholar-in-Residence at Kripalu, the largest yoga center in America, presents a life-changing strategy for “riding the wave” in even the most challenging emotional situation. Cope details the psychology behind the difficult circumstances we create for ourselves through improper handling of our feelings, and shares the prescription for effectively relating to anger, fear, grief, joy, and others from a yogic point of view. Through breathing and visualization techniques used successfully by thousands of his students, Cope offers listeners practical tips for day-to-day emotional balance; lessons in awakening the “witness consciousness” - a nonjudgmental vantage point for welcoming emotions; steps for “clearing the field” at the end of each day, and more. For the yogi, there are no “bad” feelings - only unskillful responses to our ever-changing emotional states. Yoga for Emotional Flow is an essential program for working with these powerful forces, and a template for a new way of being.

It can only be a matter of time before she ditches Blue Note classicism for the electro-clash rock of Klaxons (new at No 2), the garage-grime frontline rhyme of Jamie T (in at No 4), or the mockney rap of Just Jack (at No 6, innit).

OK, so these giants of rock are only releasing their greatest hits, but Westlife mastermind Louis Walsh (above) still has a lot to answer for.

If most of the pleasure of this game is seeing the mighty fallen, then Lowe’s own story is singularly disappointing. Where is he now? In Brentford as always, close to his roots, where he can join his friends for a pint. And at 45 he’s as sparky as ever, philosophical about the break-up of first his marriage to Carlene Carter and then his relationship with the Late Show presenter Tracy MacLeod, incorporating the experiences into the blues-tinged songs on his latest album, which has been rapturously received.

Lowe is about to embark on a two-month tour pub-rocking across America. He seems utterly undisturbed by the passing years. “What grey hair?” he asks. “I’ve gone blond.” The former godfather of punk has even - and this is the rock ‘n’ roll equivalent of the policemen looking younger - been performing his latest songs on Radio 2. Basher Lowe, founder of Stiff records, producer of Britain’s first genuine punk album, the Damned’s first LP on Radio 2.

“I’ve been listening too,” Lowe confesses. “I heard Glen Campbell singing `Wichita Lineman’, the kind of song we would have dismissed as dreadfully middle-of-the-road years ago. Hearing it now was an almost religious experience, such a good song.”

No surprise then that Lowe’s new album, The Impossible Bird, is full of wistful, bitter-sweet country ballads, tales of unrequited love and lives unfulfilled, rescued from sentimentality by Lowe’s typically breezy wit. “Where are the children two point three, That were meant to be sent to me, The patter of whose tiny feet, Would make my life so sweet?” Lowe sings on the track “Where Is My Everything?”.

“You have to understand these songs are not me telling my bad, bad story,” Lowe says. “I am a songwriter. I make them up. I may sympathise with the characters, but I am certainly not pining for that sort of life. As a matter of fact, I don’t think I am really marriageable material. I have lived on my own too long.

“Also - and this may sound pretentious - I am a slave to the muse when I am writing songs. All the really good songs I have composed have been written with the help of someone who sort of comes to call. I have to follow the muse whenever it arrives, and that is not always easy for a partner to understand.”

Lowe’s lament in “Where is My Everything?” - “(Where is) the pot of gold, That was meant to cement my nest?” - is a sure sign the song is not autobiographical, since Lowe himself received a huge and entirely unexpected pot of gold last year, making him suddenly - and this is not how “Where Are They Now?” stories are supposed to go - a very wealthy man.

Catch and Release

Fans of (largely) mellow songs by (mostly) American indie rock outfits should snap up this superior soundtrack. Representative of the mood is “Pills” by Gary Jules–an original song that feels as Cat Stevens-indebted as Jules’s popular cover of “Mad World” on the Donnie Darko soundtrack. Foo Fighters’ “Razor” and Paul Westerberg’s “Let the Bad Times Roll” see these acts at their calmest. Largely acoustic and gently paced, the CD almost never raises its pulse, and even when it does, as with Audible’s “Sky Signal,” it remains appealingly melodic. While most of the tracks are from the mid-’00s, it’s great to hear the Lemonheads’s 1992 “My Drug Buddy” again–it still counts as one of Evan Dando’s finest moments. And although the flavor is largely American, trips across the pond result in lovely tracks by the Magic Numbers who supply their customary Mamas and Papas-influenced harmonies on “Mornings Eleven,” and by Gomez with their shuffling “These 3 Sins.” –Elisabeth Vincentelli
