MEDITATION IS THE MEDICATION
© 2016 Bob Sima Music, It’s Time, Released 5 February 2016
In this moment everything shows up
Everything presents itself just as it is
And when you slow down, let it all happen
Something fantastic, magic happens in you
When you breathe in it’s like we’re all listening
To an echoing of our own souls
And when you breathe out it’s just like a raincloud
Relief it comes pouring down on a thirsty world
Meditation is the medication to cure the illusion of a separation
Meditation is the medication to cure the illusion of a separation
A separation
To a mind that’s still becomes a cup that’s filled
With effervescence, ever-presence, and a heart that swells
And when you drink from this, it’s a never-ending peacefulness
Don’t have to believe in this, it’s a story that tells itself
When you breathe in, it’s like we’re all listening
To an echoing of our own souls
And when you breathe out it’s just like a raincloud
Relief it comes pouring down on a thirsty world
Meditation is the medication to cure the illusion of a separation
Meditation is the medication to cure the illusion of a separation
We are one when we are all together, we are one when we are all alone
We are one when we are all together, we are one when we are all alone
Have you ever been here? Have you ever stayed here?
Have you never left here for more than a glance?
Have you ever faced this? Have you ever tasted this?
There's a relief in the sweetness, every moment is another chance
Just breathe in, it’s like we’re all listening
To an echoing of our own souls
And when you breathe out it’s just like a raincloud
Relief it comes pouring down on a thirsty world
Meditation is the medication to cure the illusion of a separation
Om namah shivaya, Om namah shivaya
We are one when we are all together, we are one when we are all alone

SHORT BIO
Bob Sima (pronounced sEYE-ma) is to music what Wayne Dyer, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Eckhart Tolle are to books and Rumi, Hafiz, and David Whyte are to poetry. He has been called “Eckhart Tolle with a guitar”. He is troubadour, a way-shower, a guide, an awakener, and a musical mystic. Through the medium of melody and message, he leads listeners to an expanded consciousness, deeper sense of connection, and inner peace and purpose. His music bridges daily life and soul consciousness, the eternal with the now. He delivers instantly accessible songs that take up residence and resonance in your soul. Comparisons are often made of Sima’s performances to the magical group-sing, experiential connections of the late Pete Seeger. When Sima opens his mouth to sing, what emerges is far beyond the human sounds of his warm and soulful voice. It’s a call, a remembrance, a soft and steady place to land. He speaks the language of the Universe, the language of the soul, the language of the heart. But he’s not just singing to his audience and it’s not just a performance. It’s a gathering, a connection – somewhat of a musical satsang or gathering of truth – that navigates the audience on a profound musical journey. Bob has an unparalleled ability to connect audiences in a very visceral, powerful way, changing the vibration and consciousness in the room.
