Why music?

Who loves music? It seems everyone does. I know I do!

I just attended a symphony concert. The first piece of music felt like the dreams of a summer afternoon. Fragmented. Ethereal. The second, watching the ocean from above refracting sunlight. And the third a meditation under a moonlit night and crashing waves. * (links below)

All my cells still shake from the concert. The concert hall is my temple. Where I commune with the Universe.

The sound! The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conjured what felt like a magnetic field with a golden halo. The field synchronized with me, enveloped me.

Music is kinetic. Directed energy.

The sound waves literally vibrate all our cells and penetrate our entire body. Not just through our ears. The vibrations, in a sense, merge with us, as explained here:

Unlike paintings and sculptures, for example, that reach our inner world through sight, music can stir our soul through sound and vibration.

Maybe that’s why music is so important in mythology. Perhaps, a sacred art.

What kind of music moves you? Have you lost track of time, forgotten who and where you were, remembered a special time in your life, set sorrow and tears free, entered altered consciousness, and/or simply come ALIVE?

Have you seen how music can resurrect the memories and joys of dementia patients, literally transporting them to happier days? Music is a time machine.

Then keep listening, singing, and dancing! That’s what we are here to do. An important purpose of life is to come alive by doing what makes us feel alive. It’s no idle leisure. The good energy you generate, the good vibes, help raise our collective consciousness and improve the world we live in.
