    Music in Spiritual Practice

     

    Music guides us right from life’s inception, starting with the rhythm of our mother’s heartbeat echoing around us within the womb.

     

     

    Music triggers our pleasure centers, releasing ‘feel happy’ chemicals in the brain. In addition to making us feel joyous and elated, music has also been associated with an increase in physical wellness. Music is truly universal in a way that connects us to each other and to Spirit. When created from the heart and with truth and pure intention, it is a spiritual expression of the most universal nature and the highest order. It precedes and transcends culture, religion, and genre, and is a powerful vehicle that carries energetic frequencies to break through the myriad of barriers that separate us.

    Each beat, lyric, and instrument symbiotically intertwine to give life to the sounds of the Universe. Music has been my constant companion, elevating my life state to higher realms, aiding in my spiritual work, and tenderly moving me like gentle, flowing water.

    Music has played a significant role throughout time and continents — Buddhist and Gregorian chants, shamanic journeying, battle chants, rituals, celebrations, and more — it has always been present.
