Good Day Alanis,
You and Your Bandmates Performed Excellently On, “Dancing With The Stars!” Your strum on the Guitar is very forceful…..Very Nice video of Your Family! KUDOS TO YOU ALANIS!
Au Revoir…..
is that a sage you’re burning? stick
Yes that was great! Can’t wait to see you live again soon.
xxxxx
Wonderful moment Alanis! Thanks for share it and help me too
Love the song! Too bad you’re not touring here in the states again (FL!). I need to catch you live one day… >.<
attn Chris.McLean: My guess is that Alanis will have a North American Tour for, “Havoc And Bright Lights”. It just hasn’t been announced yet. Maybe Alanis will Tour in Florida sometime in September…..HOPEFULLY Alanis will have a Concert at, “Germain Arena”, In Estero,Florida!……..
Au Revoir Alanis………….
These clips of her working in the studio are great. I always enjoy them.
Pleased to see that Alanis passes by France, and Paris, end of June. Waiting for the availability of “Guardian” in France since it seems it can only be downloaded in USA. Thank you for coming back with your voice, words and music! (what else, would you say for a singer… – but you are special!). Bring us also sun!
Several of the new-era mama-with-baby watchers describe the hugely important moments of connection, mirroring and non-verbal communication between the new mother and the newly separated fruit of her flesh. It was truly startling for me to come to understand how much it means to an infant to be connected to and emotionally regulated by its mother in those first days and weeks. The baby’s emotion-regulation circuitry is epigenetically (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics) formed by those experiences we now know.
Infants become toddlers who become pre-schoolers who become kindergarteners who become… largely on the basis of those interactions. If ma is attentive and neither too greatly nor too insufficiently “guardian-like” during those first weeks, months and years, the child will know — not instinctively, but epigenetically — how to “see,” react to and manage his or her emotional moments pretty effectively.
If ma was either insufficiently attentive (e.g.: too neglectful, abandoning, weak), or too attentive (e.g.: too invasive, authoritarian, strong), or — worse, maybe even much worse — flipping back and forth between being inattentive and too attentive, the child is likely to have “weak” links here and/or overly “strong” links there in the limbic system that cause it to be either poorly regulated, over-regulated, or flip-flopping from one to the other.
The juries are not all quite back in the dock yet on the relationships between maternal “guardianship” and offspring functionality, but the extensive preliminary research suggests that there is one, and that moms will do no harm by being appropriately connected to, attentive to and non-verbally communicating with their infants from the git.
I’m really glad that Alanis gave us a person behind the scenes look at the inspiration behind the new song “Guardian”. This is very well done and I love learning about it! Bravo!
Hi ~ loved learning about the Inner Parent online. never heard of…thanks for the tip.
accepting and loving that known parental voice (subjective from our experience); loving & forgiving the real Mom/Dad for the hurt, for the judgemental roles played, for what might come out in detail in our own limiting “self-talking”, as parent to our inner child…& finally writing a new script, as it were. Caring for our inner-self child and caring for our outer children as ONE new caring?
…in the days following the death of my father, i went thru a process of forgiving and asking for his forgiveness; saying and feeling that he and i did the best job we could, under the circumstances of who we were/are. Saying that i love him. beginning and ending with this.
the video of “inspiration for G”…feeling two moments now…remembering silent you, right profile w/ headset, you, looking to the sun (early on) and last, with your furry babe, sitting, swirling your hair.
these stick with me. you, beautiful in this silence and mystery
peace, blessings, light (recognized)
