Pavarotti - I am a big fan as well.

Hello Sey
Heās great, isnāt he?! 
Speaking of Pavarotti, Iāve just remembered this episode from his biography:
At the time when he had just about finished his operatic studies and was giving his first recitals, he developed a nodule on his vocal cords, which appeared to make a musical career impossible.
He had to give it all up - the years of training and his dreams of a musical career. After he relinquished it all, the nodule disappeared, and - in his own words - āEverything I had learned came together with my natural voice to make the sound I had been struggling so hard to achieveā
I wonder if this episode took the ego out of his career. It is possible that he saw every bit of singing he did after this to be a privilege.
I remembered this story because there has been a shift in my attitude to my yoga practice recently. After years of seeing it as mostly a discipline, these days I see it mostly as a privilege. Every sitting is a gift. If I make progress, it is because I am allowed to ā not a result of something I do.
Donāt know if Iām putting it very well. I hope it makes sense 
Wow, beautifully put. Yes, every bit a gift. Even our gratitude is a gift, just given. Thanks for sharing this.
I know this thread is ancient. But I thought it doesnāt matter to pick it up after such a long time.
After practicing AYP for about a year now, dedicated music listening became even more enjoyable to me as it often stirs energy (like pranayama) or stirs silence (like a sutra) in me. Another thing that is new while listening to music is that I now sometimes start crying. The interesting thing is that the onset of this crying feels as if the music āsqueezesā a certain part in my brain in a very pleasurable way which then triggers the crying. So it feels less like an emotional response but more like physical response.
Two pieces of music repeatedly managed to trigger this pleasurable crying response in me. So Iām curious to know if other people with AYP-heightened sensitivity react similarly.
I would recommend using headphones, and favoring the music listening over other thoughts and sensations (e.g. treat music listening like any other form of meditation).
