Harmony

Hello All - today's post will be a short one.  It was a crazy day yesterday, and I didn't get in until late...

I want you to take a couple minutes today to try something for me.  You need to find maybe ten minutes of private time today that you can listen to some music I am going to provide links to below.  I want you to sit and relax in a quiet room and listen to each song - pay attention to how you feel - do you get tense? does it hurt your head? do you feel uncomfortable? do you feel happy? do you want to dance? 

It is important that you understand how STRONG a connection we have to music and what it does to us.  We need to focus on what provides us with a POSITIVE feeling when we listen - whether it be a calming effect, a simple smile and a fond memory, or it makes us want to dance and sing.... Positive, happy thoughts and positive happy music release endorphins that reduce your stress levels, boosts cell growth and regeneration, helps you get more completed, and helps you sleep better.

If you listen to music that makes you feel sad, mad, or angry - what do you think you are doing to your body?  People that are angry, resentful, or negative live 5 - 10 or more years LESS than those of a positive nature.  They also tend to develop heart disease, cancer, and other deadly diseases.  If you tend to look at the negative aspects of life - start listening to yourself and make POSITIVE strides to changing those thoughts... if you think it consciously over and over... you will change your thought process.

So... on to our concert :)  You don't have to listen to the entire song - and I would prefer you not watch the video.  Close your eyes and pay attention to what you think, how you feel physically, and how you feel emotionally.... let me know which one was your favorite. :)
