Music and the soul

The Tradition says that there are three activities where people vibrate in unison: when they eat together, when they sing together and when they pray together. This month we will cover how music and singing touches the soul.

Music is important in life to develop the quality of feelings. Some music can awaken rough feelings such as anger, revenge, passionate chaotic love feelings or it can awaken a desire to commune with nature, with joy, gratitude, etc. It all depends on the type of music we choose to listen to.

Dr. Masaru Emoto demonstrated the effect of music on water particles and according to the type of music, the particles took different forms. He also experimented with plants and under heavy metal music, plants would die whereas under classical music plants thrived.
Music influences our nervous system in the same way. Of course, it is a subtle influence without us noticing the immediate reaction but in the long run it affects us dearly.

In order to benefit the most from music it is preferable to select a music that is harmonious and inspired by elevated spirits. This choice of music can propel us to realm of beauty and expansion where one can feel connecting to something much bigger than the intellect, something that fills your heart and uplifts you to a higher reality.

How? By using the imagination through the music movements and creating images of what you would like to see come through in the world. Listening to music with the intention of ‘working’ with it can truly give wings to the soul.

We are co-creators and music is a formidable instrument for the imagination to deliver the reality we wish to create. Especially choir music that not only favors the harmonization between beings but also fosters a spirit of fraternity, we can move the whole of humanity along with our vision.
