You don't just hear gospel music, you feel it. At the heights of its power, this uniquely American art form connects the spirit of the writer, performer and listener with a truth much higher than presents travails. The notes, rhythms, and lyrics paint a picture of the ongoing tale of struggle, persecution, redemption and freedom. Blues, rock and roll, r&b, country and even modern hip hop and rap music have all been influenced by the sound and soul of gospel. It has faced down the bleak days of slavery, depression, violence and fear with a tear in its eye and a promise on its lips. On Oh Happy Day, a wide array of contemporary artists has been paired with some of today's leading gospel voices and legendary choirs. Together they explore a batch of gospel standards and main-stream hits that were clearly inspired by the old soulful sound and feel of gospel. It's an all-star celebration that just might take you someplace higher if you let it. Track listing: 1. I Believe - Jonny Lang (with the Fisk Jubilee Singers) 2. Presence Of The Lord - 3 Doors Down (with Soul Children of Chicago) 3. Higher Ground - Robert Randolph & The Clark Sisters 4. Keep The Faith - Jon Bon Jovi (with Washington Youth Choir) 5. People Get Ready - Al Green & Heather Headley 6. Waiting For My Child To Come Home - Mavis Staples & Patty Griffin 7. Storm Before The Calm - Michael McDonald (with West Angeles Cogic Mass Choir) 8. Redemption Song - Angelique Kidjo 9. A Change Is Gonna Come - Aaron Neville (with Mt. Zion Mass Choir) 10. Oh Happy Day - Queen Latifah (with Jubilation) 11.

If you enjoyed Ana Caban's exceptional beginning-level video, Pilates: Mat-Based Workout for Beginners, and you've progressed enough to continue on to the next level, Caban is back with an intermediate workout. Assuming you have already mastered the first workout, she makes the exercises more intense, with fewer breaks between exercises, and adds some new ones that will really challenge your "powerhouse" muscles. Fortunately, another exerciser demonstrates modifications for the hardest exercises. Caban is a superb role model and instructor, piling on technique tips so that you don't mistakenly think these exercises are easy by cheating. It's unfortunate, though, that the sound quality isn't up to the instruction quality. Caban sometimes sounds just fine, and a moment later she sounds like she's in an echo chamber. This problem persists through the whole 40-minute video. Still, this is an excellent Pilates program and will become one of your regular workouts. --Joan Price

Young bodies will thoroughly enjoy toning their inner and outer selves during this half-hour of easy, playful exercise. Designed for ages 3 to 10, YogaKids introduces children to the ancient art of yoga in a very modern fashion. Instructor Marsha Wenig teams with a group of youngsters who confidently demonstrate each pose against a backdrop of eye-popping foliage and quiet, inviting beaches. As the children repeat each of the 20 poses--everything from the butterfly pose to the volcano pose--Wenig gently explains the strength derived from each exercise. Since yoga does not require quick feet or strong arms, young viewers of all skill levels will be able to accomplish the majority of these poses on their first try. Lessons in belly breathing, relaxation, and balance are given equal time with the benefits of stretching and strengthening. Finally, a few nicely placed words about self-respect and respecting others make this video a well-rounded choice for any family's fitness collection. --Liane Thomas

The Art Of Living Well

Copyright (c) 2010 Stephen Lau

We are all living in this world. But do we all live well -- or do we just exist? Living well has little to do with material things. Of course, we all need the basics of life, such as food and shelter -- and that's about it. Material things can only make us "think" we live well, but, in fact, we may not be living well.

So, what is living well? Or, more precisely, what is the art of living well?

Living well is experiencing a sense of satisfaction, and embracing a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for that innate satisfaction. This appreciative mindset is akin to what is being felt by an artist who has just completed his masterpiece, and who is now looking at it with self-elation, and liking what he sees.

In real living, where does that satisfaction come from?

The satisfaction comes from self-attitude. If you think about it, life is all about you -- what happens to you, and what you "think" what other people think about what happens to you. It is all about YOU! Accordingly, to live well, you must have positive self-attitude or self-concept.

However, ironically, focusing too much on self may not be conducive to living well. Why not? In Buddhism, enlightenment and nirvana (a sublime state of being) may come only after one has negated self or has become "no-self." Christianity also focuses on selflessness or "humility" -- which is essentially shrinking of self-importance, or the diminishing of self -- as a prerequisite for spirituality; without humility, no one can come before God.

So, living is all about what happens to self and the perceptions of others on what happens to self. But to live well, one needs to shift the focus from self to others. It is because the craving to satisfy self is forever insatiable and elusive; as a matter of fact, it is often the fountainhead of all human miseries. To illustrate, the pursuit of wealth may be the ultimate goal of many, and the perception of self-worth is more often than not built on the wealth accumulated. To pursue that end then becomes the driving force of living. But that pursuit is forever elusive and evasive, leading to nowhere.

The art of living well is to focus on the journey rather than the destination. The destination is either unreachable, or comes to a dead-end -- in either case, life would become meaningless and unfulfilled. The art of living well is to focus on others rather than on self. Focusing on others cherishes and nourishes mindfulness and loving kindness towards others, which make life meaningful and worth living.

Self-concept does not come from what others think of you, but rather what you think of yourself, or how you have made your life meaningful for yourself. Yes, it is all about you, too -- but with a little twist. The art of living well is all about the process, rather than the outcome -- this is the antidote against all obstacles in life. No matter what happens to you, no matter what problems you face in life, you have made a difference in your life as well as in that of others -- that is the art of living well.
