How The Music Was Created, and How To Do Our Blissout Workout To "Watch Where You Point That Thing"
Lola had an inspiration to create a music collection and speak some of her quotes over it. She invited 5 Day Retreat graduate and professional producer Tom Hopkins to come to the ranch and do the music with her. 
Well, they had so much fun that the creative juices went wild, and it became five full blown songs of the quality you hear on the radio. Tom has limitless talent and can play an infinite number of musical styles. Lola and Tom co-wrote, both sang, and called in Lola's singing teacher Guy Monroe, and friend and Divine Singer Tamara Taylor, for other vocals.
Then Lola thought, beyond just listening to it, "People could do non-habitual movement to each song, and then stop and savor the silence for a bit in between, like we do in live courses. Then on the last song, they go into a deep meditative state."
The effect of dancing or moving wildly and then lying down to meditate is dramatic. The mind goes blank and the body lets go.
NOW, NEW! The new Virtual Video Retreats gives you a full video of the Blissout Workout taped at a live course, telling you, then SHOWING you how to do it. You can groove along with a group of us doing it!

More help in embodying your spiritual enlightenment in your daily life.
Here's how to have a Divine Workout with a deep meditation at the end:
Order the music and put it on your best stereo. Turn it up to a good volume so you feel the music.
Non-habitual movements increase freedom in the body. The idea is to move in ways you don't ordinarily move. Look goofy and stupid. Do ridiculous things, like acting like a monkey or a bird, roll on the floor, and jump around. Move head, arms, legs in ways you never have. Later when you're loosened up you can "dance", but first, lose your inhibitions and let go of limiting habits of movement. You'll find it transfers to all parts of your life.

- Power - Move to this music and smile large and your body soars with your feelings. Rest between songs. Sit, or stand and sway with eyes closed.
- Watch Where You Point That Thing - Start with small movements and warm up gradually. Move non-habitually all over the room. Do things you never do, twist and contort as you move. Groove to the beat. Soak up the energy. Rest between songs. Sit, or stand and sway with eyes closed.
- You Might As Well Be Having Fun - Bounce around and sing along with the chorus. Rest between songs. Sit, or stand and sway with eyes closed.
- Heaven - This one is long, 10 minutes, so prepare to go into a moving trance. Do graceful slow movements, and then sharp staccato movements. During the chanting at the end, gently lower yourself down on the floor. Continue to move, stretch and roll, twisting and unwinding your body. Make it as easy or strenuous as you choose. Toward the end it becomes a droning chant. Lie down with eyes closed and do some floor stretches and unwind all your kinks, letting your body luxuriate in the sensation like a cat. Then when it ends, there's some silence. Enjoy the contrast between the sound/movement and the silence/stillness.
- It's Only Ecstasy - To complete the experience, lie flat on your back, and let the music take you. Relax. Enjoy the contrast of the sound and the silence after it.
- Lie there in silence for five to ten minutes or more after the music is over. Enjoy the contrast between the sound and now the silence.
- Power - About reclaiming your power.
- Watch Where You Point That Thing - This is about watching where you point your mind.
- You Might As Well Be Having Fun - Upbeat pop that will stick in your mind, reminding you to lighten up.
- Heaven - Sensual, trance-inducing, hypnotic.
- It's Only Ecstasy - The essence of lightness and sweetness to take you to deep bliss.
