MUSIC & SILENCE
|
This week's article is paraphrased from an article written by Goddess Christina. The whole article is available here.
Goddess Christina a/k/a Christina Farnsworth is the director of Joy in Motion, a Music Therapy practice. Joy in Motion provides exercise and stress reduction to Seniors through music and movement. She believes in the healing powers of music and laughter. A Laughter Yoga Leader extraordinaire, she leads our Tuesday morning circles.
I must begin my musings on the place of music in a healthful life with a very deep nod to SILENCE.
(It is in the spaces that these Goddesses leave BE-tween the notes that we learn everything we need to know, and find room to breathe in musical tandem.)
♫ We are not able to become aware of silence, or indeed resonate with our own instrument, until we CHOOSE to reduce our speed. A conscious choice to reconnect with our inner selves.
The symphony of nature, and yes, even the human sounds of the city. The opportunity to hear and listen to, the song of the universe (of which we are so intimately a part) being sung around and through us all the time.
♫ Giving ourselves the gift of choosing to SLOW DOWN, and even to stop moving, allows us to learn to listen.
Choosing SILENCE allows us to hear our own, and the universe's song.
