The benefits of music are known universally. When combined with breath, intention and visualization, music can become a pathway to the deepest spaces within the soul.

The techniques for this are simple and easily accessible, allowing most people to experience the quieting effects of meditation and discover relaxation, sleep and a quiet mind using music and breath.

Many people who find traditional meditation difficult, discover the addition of music to be beneficial in stilling the mind and soothing the soul. Music meditation works for people of all ages, beliefs and levels of physical health.

In this approach, the mind is not quieted by force. Instead, normal mental activity is guided to be aware of the physical sensations of breath moving through the body, and of the visceral, tangible sensations of music as it plays. Naturally, the mind will wander, and when it does one simply brings the awareness back to breath, body and music.

When doing this, a person remembers to relax and then allows the body to tangibly relinquish tension and grow heavy. This progressive cycle of relaxation eventually opens the deepest states of conscious sleep, awareness while the body remains asleep. In this state, a person experiences the subtle aspects of the self which are always present, yet usually invisible and forgotten in the activity of the day.

When accessing this place within, a deep healing can take place. What happens for each person is different, unique to their needs. Essentially, by quieting the mind the energetic resources of the body are better able to function. In a relaxed state, the healing of body and mind happens according to the natural guidance of the body. Much like how a bruise or cut heals, the innate wisdom of ones body has amazing healing qualities yet they must be allowed to function, be activated and flow.

The experience allows a person to distinguish between the soul-self and the other subtler aspects that make up the whole being. This is a distillation process and a way to approach the classical, ancient question, Who Am I?

The music used for these experiences combine the sounds of nature and vibroacoustic music, or music which has vibrational qualities that can be felt in the body.

The didgeridoo, harmonium, flute, and 36″ frame drum are all used to help the mind relax by gently connecting to the somatic, felt, physical sensations. Long sounds and long breaths naturally result in a longer brainwave, connected to sleep, relaxation and dreaming.

Music meditation is more than listening to music, its also literally felt in the body, kinesthetically.

Subtle vibration can help soothe the mind, much as a baby falls asleep when riding in a car. Subtle music sensation that has purpose can help a person navigate the deeper inner spaces, and remain connected to the physical world. For some people, it can be a way to consciously explore the subconscious aspects of their own personality.
