When your heart is open to music, you are open to all of the higher vibrations in the Universe. When you listen to music without opening your heart, you open yourself to a vulnerability to lower vibrations. This is one reason that people who truly feel moved by the music they listen to can often more easily open their hearts than those who are not touched by music.
Now we know that some of you are wondering about the new kind of music that the young ones are listening to. We would tell you that many of them are making themselves vulnerable to undesirable vibrations because of their music. But many adults would throw out all types of the music the young folks enjoy even though not all are harmful. The kind of music that makes them vulnerable has a message of lower vibration, frustration and anger and uses certain beats to move this message deeply into the young person’s psyche. They do not realize that this is happening but it is manifest in them in a surliness and frustration that can turn to anger against those in authority. Some of this music disturbs the brain waves of the youth so that they are vulnerable to the next encounter they have with someone else, whether that encounter is good or disturbing.
To recognize the effect of the music, listen for yourself and notice how you feel in your heart center of energy. If you are disturbed, then the music is probably not the healthiest vibration. Assess, though, whether your reaction is a dislike of the music or a genuine vibrational disturbance. Then play some music that stirs you in a pleasant way and compare how you feel after that experience. Do not use this as a way to try to change the young people in your life. Rather, try to understand what they are experiencing and why they seek that experience.
Now try to find other examples of both types of music and notice how you feel with each. A particular piece of music from a particular genre might have a different effect on you than another piece of music from the same genre. Make a list of pieces of music that feel uplifting to you and create a playlist that you can use when you wish to feel uplifted. Make other lists of music that have different effects on your own vibrational level – those that energize you, those that make you feel peaceful and serene, those that assist you in meditation, those that help you think through problems clearly. There are many ways that music can affect you and the same piece of music might fall on several of your lists.
If you have a young person in your life, take time to listen to some of their music with them. Ask them why they like a particular piece, how it makes them feel. Share with them how you feel when you hear it, not to criticize or say that they are wrong for we want you to honor their honest feelings, but to demonstrate that different people can react differently to the same stimulus. Then share some of the music from your list with them and ask them how they feel. Remember to focus on the heart center. Share how you feel when you are in the vibration of that music. Make sure to use this opportunity to have an experience of sharing differences without criticism on either side.
This is a good exercise to do with a partner or loved one as a practice of sharing differences without criticism. You might find several similar reactions and you might be surprised by differing reactions, even widely differing reactions. Again, make sure that this is a sharing and that neither party is trying to influence the other. Notice if there are compromises that can be reached if the two parties choices are very different. Dinner music, for example, can be something chosen together to relax and aid digestion while each can listen to their particular preferences in their own cars.
Enjoy group experiences of music so that the heart centers of many can become connected in that vibration. Concerts are so popular because many people are opening their hearts to others and enjoying the connections. Noticing how music makes one feel is a part of Conscious Living. We urge you to pay attention to the energy vibrations that you resonate with as a part of your growth in Consciousness.
And so it is.
