The guitar is an excellent metaphor for our lives. The strings represent the different facets and aspects of our lives in which we express ourselves, the plucking and strumming represent the action we take in the world and the music represents the results we produce in our lives.
I don’t care how great of a guitarist you are, if your strings are not in tune, you will never play beautiful music in your life or reach your full potential!
Where are you out of tune in your life?
Most of us go through life primarily playing the work string. We focus all of our efforts, time and energy thinking that this is what will make us successful. So, we work long and hard thinking that our efforts will provide us with the things we need to live a successful life.
Nothing could be further than the truth!
The truth is that this is a recipe for health breakdown, failed relationships and discontentment.
In order to play beautiful music throughout our lives and truly live a prosperous, successful and fulfilling life, we must play all of the strings!
Most of us have been taught that massive action and hard work is what will make us successful or earn us some type of award in life. How many times have you thought, “look at me, look how hard I am working!”
That is an old model and is becoming more and more ineffective. I can’t tell you how many business people I know that have failed health, broken marriages, and alienated children.
There must be a solution!
And there is.
To be truly successful, you must play all of the strings in your life.
Are you playing the physical health string? Do you take time to exercise and eat nutritious foods? Do you take time to pamper yourself and rest? You would be surprised at how many people neglect this aspect of their lives to later regret their decision.
Take quality time to be with the ones you love most. The relationship string is one of the most powerful strings that you can play in your life! Nurture your relationships and you will be amazed at the benefits and also how it positively affects your energy.
We all have different facts and aspect of our lives. When we take time to play the ones that mean the most of to us we will find that we will have an increase in health, vitality and success in all aspects of our lives.
We will also find that we will be able to create our desired results easier and with less effort on our part. After all, would you rather have to labor long and hard to achieve your goals or have them show up with ease?
The key to truly living a successful, fulfilling and passion filled life is to play all of the strings in our lives. When we do we will find that we truly can play beautiful music throughout every aspect of our lives!
Are You Playing the Music of Your Life?
What we listen to is vital to the life we are creating. Many people feel overwhelmed with the negative, critical voices in their heads, people around them who are complaining or gossiping, or some particular event that has let them down. While we may not have control over all the circumstances of our lives, we can choose what we pay attention to and what we surround ourselves with. What we choose to listen to can literally make a world of difference.
Music is made for manifesting. This is, in fact, the idea of music therapy. As you hear the beginning notes of a favorite song, reminding you of a particular time in your life when you were full of love, hope, strength, accomplishment, or freedom, your mind automatically recreates a vision of that time, your body responds on a cellular level, and your emotions transform your experience in the moment. Instantaneous. Automatic. Effortless.
For fun and for free.
I’ve talked often about vibrations. It’s important to emphasize that scientific research and studies have now documented the effects of music on our bodies, lives, and beliefs. As we raise our spirits we are literally raising our vibration. And the level we vibrate at is what we vibrate to. What we vibrate to is what we will attract into our lives. Like attracts like. This is where music therapy comes in to have a powerful, positive effect in every area of our lives.
In Power vs. Force Dr. David Hawkins explains the significance of higher and lower “attractor fields”, or vibrations, and how we all can effectively raise our power to attract to us positive experiences in life. By raising our vibration, we move into a realm that allows us to use our natural powers, rather than relying on the need to try to “force” life to happen. In his 29-year study, Dr. Hawkins demonstrated that the human body becomes stronger or weaker depending on a person’s mental state, reflected by their vibration. As he writes, “Music is in
some ways the most subtle of the arts, for it’s the least concrete. However, in bypassing left-brain rationality to appeal directly to our subconscious right-brain sense of pattern, it’s at the same time the most visceral and emotional. It also provides the easiest example of how attractor patterns order reality…”.
Dr. Masaru Emoto has spent years documenting the effect of what we think, say, and do on the crystalline structure of water molecules. Positive emotions create beautiful crystals while negative emotions create amorphous blobs that resemble polluted water. Dr. Emoto has studied the effects of music on the quality of water molecules and found that “Amazing Grace” is one of the songs that create the most beautiful crystalline structures. In contrast, heavy metal and rap music creates the blobs that are associated with polluted bodies of water.
Water is the “molecule of life”. Considering we human beings are approximately 75% water, this research is incredibly relevant. Do you choose to have polluted water or pristine crystals running through your veins?
Craig White has created a series of CDs that are used for Music Therapy. Studied by the Mayo Clinic, his works are now being used in major healthcare chains in California because they have been shown to increase healing rates and reduce post-surgical recovery times.
In the creative realm, you have the right and the responsibility to make conscious choices that will support you in living the life of your dreams. Choose powerfully and positively to vibrate at a level that will attract to you all that is rich, loving, joyful, abundant, healthy, and fun with great ease and flow!
Give yourself the gift of music therapy to create the life you love to live!
YOU deserve it!
