Music. Interesting topic for the Mystic Message. I must admit that I was wondering where that message would go with respect to what the kids listen to. I guess my prejudices were popping up.
But how wonderful to use music as a springboard to discussion and sharing with others in our life! All of Life is about energy and vibration. The foods we eat, the colors we wear, whether we are feeling ‘up’ or ‘down’ are all relating to our energy fields and the vibrations in them. Quantum Physics is telling us a lot about our environments from a vibrational standpoint. I was a Chemistry major for a bit in college [couldn’t stand Chem Lab so ended up in Math – no labs!] and I studied the ‘new’ information available about atoms and particles like protons and electrons. The information that has since been discovered [it’s been a lot of years!] gives us a much greater understanding of energy and the properties of atoms, including the particles smaller than protons and electrons. And Quantum Physics tells us a lot about the effect of the vibration of our thoughts on the rest of the Universe around us.
When we start to understand energy, and one doesn’t need to be an expert in Quantum Physics to do so, we begin to see what effects different vibrations can have on the people and the spaces around us. Have you ever walked into a room and felt the vibration of anger even though the occupants turn to you with smiles on their faces? Can’t you feel that they were just fighting but have put on a face for you that doesn’t match their internal vibrational energy? Now think about music and how you feel in a room that has had lovely high-vibrational music playing in it for awhile, classical or relaxing jazz or calming new age music. How does it feel to walk into that room? Have you ever walked into a bar with loud music that does not appeal to you playing over big speakers, with the occupants shouting to be heard over the music, bouncing off hard surfaces? Doesn’t that feel a bit jarring? Contrast that with the quiet music of calming vibrations in a fabric-filled room in a restaurant designed to encourage you to relax and dine at a leisurely pace – how does that feel?
At our house, we often leave relaxing music playing when we go out so that the energy will feel calm when we return. This also helps the pets left in the house to relax while we are gone. Sometimes when I have cleaning to do or organizing or some activity that requires me to be upbeat and energetic I’ll put on Golden Oldies that I used to dance to [many years ago when they weren’t Oldies!] This energizes me into action. The music I choose to listen to in the car is related to how I feel and what I need from the music. It might be the 60s station on satellite radio, might be kirtan chants on CDs, or the 40s station to remind me of my Dad who played in a big band in the 30s-40s.
Notice how you use music and how you could use music if you were choosing consciously. Pay attention to the music choices that others around you are making, giving you a hint of how they are feeling or what they are, possibly unconsciously, needing from the energy of the music. You might learn something about them that they would not verbalize or might not know themselves.
Conscious Living requires that we be aware and conscious of all aspects of our lives, even music!
