MUSIC FOR SOUL

Music has a healing touch, music is used for relaxation, stress
reduction, pain relief and tapping into one soul. There are variety of
instruments or sounds that can be used for making music a window to
our soul.

So what makes this music “healing music?” or “music for our soul”

Music has a way of stirring our innermost feelings and all our five
senses, it helps us in tapping our inner most potential. Music is a
universal language that has the ability to speak to us deeply and
uniquely.

If you've paid much attention to how you respond to a variety of
music, you may have noticed that some music seems to energize you,
some music can move us to deep pain, or spark a special memory of a
time, place, or a relationship. Some music seems to make you relax,
feel less stressed, and feel happier. And some music fills us with
deep spiritual fulfillment.

Let’s take the movie “Mughal – E – Azam” which has a gorgeous love
theme, the melodious music penetrates to us throughout the movie, and
throughout ourselves with its bitter sweetness, generating the beauty
of love and the tragedy of two lovers and the loss of their love.
Another legendary movie “Gumnaam” wouldnt be the same without its
daunting, low, repetitive sounds that makes you sit on the edge of
your seat waiting for someone to attack from somewhere.

One aspect of “healing” music is to stir our feelings, to help us deal
with our negative emotions like, grief, sadness, anger or other
feelings. By allowing ourselves to feel those feelings, the intensity
will eventually lessen and get released, resulting in us being healed.
When we avoid our feelings within us, whether we are aware of them or
not this is one of the wonderful ways music can be incredibly healing.

When you walk down to a mall, you will see a lot of instrumental Cd’s
how can these instrumental Cd’s be used. They are the best way of
relaxation whether we are aware of it or not, music that's relaxing
tends to slow down our heart rates to about one beat per second. If
we're feeling stressful, angry, anxious, or irritable, our heart rates
tend to increase. Music can actually help our heart rates slow down to
a more relaxing pace, changing our physiology. This phenomenon is what
can help me fall asleep more easily. It's what is found with mainly
meditation tapes or other instrumental music.

There is an unlimited ocean of combination of different music how does
one decide which music is made for their soul. As soul is unique of
each of us it is only we who can truly know which music stirs up our
energy and helps us to heal and balance ourselves. Whenever you listen
to a particular beat or a song and you feel each and every cell of
your body filling with ecstasy that beat or music is your music for
soul.
