I’ll never forget the moment music changed everything for me. Music has been instrumental throughout my journey however there was an evening when it shifted and changed my perspective which then in turn changed everything. I was sitting on my bed and it was on or around the 2nd of May. I knew I was about to embark on my final push because for the first time the resources didn’t come. I knew this was when trust was gonna run deep because all I had was my faith.
I was sitting on my bed wondering what I had to do or what I could do to make it better, or perhaps run smoother. I felt like I needed to do something I just wasn’t sure what it was. I felt like I had to meditate but just didn’t want to, I was frustrated. I through up my hands and asked the ethers for help. It was an end of the rope kind of feeling, almost desperation but not really because I knew it was part of the process. I was feeling stuck when all I wanted to do was shake this feeling and keep moving forward.
I asked what it was I could do with nervous laughter and the next thing I knew I was being nudged to open my YouTube on my tablet. And there it was, an answer to my prayers so to speak, it was a playlist. It was also in that moment that I realized I was taking this whole meditation thing too seriously. It was Spirit saying lighten up and listen to music. Everyday since music is what I wake up to and it’s what I listen to throughout the day as well. It has become my meditation.
Every morning a new playlist arrives, it’s more or less my cosmic music, songs specifically from the Pleiades or Lyra and Sirius, it’s mostly galactic. In the afternoon it’s more modern music like Renegades by X Ambassadors but it’s always uplifting and particular to my journey. In the evening it’s usually my choice which tends to be Enya or select songs from the The Cranberries. You could say it’s algorithm at this point if being skeptical is your kind of thing however I know it’s more than that. The right music always shows up at the right time.
And so started my relationship with musical stillness which is profound on multiple levels. The stillness itself signals to my body that I am safe, then you add the raising of my vibrations which then literally puts my body into healing mode. As I’m laying there listening to music I visualize and think about my body healing itself because that’s exactly what it’s designed to do. Who knew the med beds they always talk about are the very ones I can create in my own backyard.
I’m sure they exist on the motherships but I’m on planet Earth right this second with the best gift we all possess which is our imagination, and with it we can do anything and go anywhere. All we have to do is believe. Miraculous things happen to my body when I listen to my music, music is medicine for the soul. It has to be uplifting music though and it’s pretty crazy how my personal playlists have shifted from what they were a year ago.
I spent a good amount of time putting together an ultimate playlist of almost a thousand songs that I don’t even listen to anymore. Perhaps I’ll come back to it but I also know the entertainment business knows how important words and thoughts are which is why they go out of their way for programming purposes. There’s been times when I’ll have a song stuck in my head, as we all do at some point, but you don’t want the wrong lyrics playing over and over, that’s for sure because that matters.
They go to great lengths with your best interest not in mind. Not all songs of course and I feel like once you’re aware of the conditioning you can also rise above it because I’ll tell you what, even though I don’t agree with some of the lyrics, I still do love listening to Nirvana, some Offspring and Imagine Dragons, early albums anyway. The type of music I listen to while I’m in my final push of this phase is imperative for pulling me through.
Who knew I would spend much of my time also listening to Ubuntu African music. It’s amazing and quite angelic. It’s inspired by the Southern African philosophy of Ubuntu, which translates to “I am because we are”. Rather than a single genre, it encompasses communal, spiritual and choral African music designed to foster a deep sense of connection, unity, and shared humanity. Like I said it’s angelic and it’s beautiful. Here’s a link to one of my favorites for cultivating deep peace. https://youtu.be/fK26pDYKzGE?si=7M_yDWqOUITrcFp3
I love anything with a choir and a cappella harmonies. I also enjoy monks chanting. I enjoy a little bit of everything really, there’s a lot that sparks joy. Right now I’m focusing on all musical melodies that spark optimism, positivity and healing. I’m focusing with my heart trusting that Spirit has my back, always has and always will. This personal philosophy is the whole point of this final push and my invisibles are doing everything in their power to ensure I don’t lose sight of the bigger picture.
I will continue to focus on mastering my mind, being in charge of my thoughts and relaxing while my body continues to rewire itself. All while embodying my peaceful warrior. I’ll keep listening to my music and enjoying what’s left of my time alone. Everything is unfolding exactly as it’s supposed to, the timing is what’s truly molding everything and is what’s shaping me into the leader I came here to be. And I couldn’t be more grateful for all the winks form Spirit along the way.
Here’s one of my galactic favorites right now. https://youtu.be/_-y_WB0yd5E?si=xH-MHUIMeaG-MUTF
