ause it can change people.” -Bono
Not only can we relate to the rhythm of the music and unconsciously heal while listening to it, but the lyrics can also help us release emotions and tell stories that would otherwise be locked up somewhere inside of us. Music can make you laugh or cry. And it can help you receive messages from the universe that are indirect but can lead you to follow your heart. Since the foundation for most music is Love, we can use music to fully express ourselves in order to give or receive love.
We can use music to make positive changes to ourselves or a situation. All you need to do is simply turn on the radio or play your favourite song. Sitting quietly listening to classical music can calm your mind and relax you. Listening to pop music can motivate you to work out or complete a task or a project. Whatever you are looking to achieve, music can guide you. Every festival, family gathering or religious event, for example, a wedding or a graduation is focused around music and the joy that it brings to a crowd. When people are gathered together to celebrate life’s achievements, music is the binding force that gets everyone moving and feeling carefree.
Life becomes a celebration and music is the common denominator.
Music is a very important part of my life. I use music to heal myself and elevate my spirit. I listen to various artists to change my mood, to motivate me or to relax me. It’s simply amazing what music can do when we take the time to absorb each note. So, wait to see how it affects our well being. When you see a couple dancing, it’s beautiful to see two people completely immersed in each other. The rhythm of the music is their guide.
As a quick and enjoyable experiment, I encourage everyone to listen to their favourite song. Just wait and see what happens to your body and your mood and therefore your spirit. After you have moved your hips to the rhythm and felt the beat deep in your soul, you will wear a smile. Next time you decide to go to a music concert, you will be giving yourself the best healing possible.
I encourage everyone to use music as therapy. That’s right, music has an impact on our well being. Honour the artist, honour the body and “Dance like no one is watching.”
