When I was at university we all used to sing. Singing is a natural state of happiness. Everyone should be comfortable in their living environment with their family or partner to be able to sing. To sing really is healing for your heart and soul. Even just humming to music can be healing. Everyone can sing. There is no such thing as not being able to sing. Everyone can make some beautiful music with their mouths. Most successful artists or musicians are not people who ‘can sing’ in the traditional sense. Singing from your heart or soul can make any type of voice pleasant or beautiful to listen to. Singing is a great form of love. True happiness, Love and expression in your home means that you are able to sing and be spontaneous. It is great if you can enjoy singing and not care about what anybody thinks. Singing can really heal any type of anxiety and depression.
Dancing is also great, but difficult if you are socially anxious. Most normal people are socially anxious about dancing. I believe that true happiness in life comes from all those times you are spontaneous in some way. For people with anxiety and depression it can be difficult to come out of their shell and do this. It is difficult because they may never have had permission to be spontaneous or encouraged by their parents to to be spontaneous. Anxiety and depression people may have been suppressed or repressed by people in the past. For example their parents may not have given them any room to develop their spontaneity. Being spontaneous in the past may have resulted in them being told off, ridiculed or beaten.
The best way of learning to overcome fear of dancing is with someone you love who is a member of the opposite sex, and/or with really close friends who understand your fear. One time when I first started clubbing I was out dancing with a girl face to face and I had two of my best friends dancing around me who were looking very silly. So if anybody was the centre of attention it would have been them- not me. If they can look that silly and get away with it then I knew that I was fine doing what I was doing. As the night went on and with more alcohol we totally lost ourselves in the music. The music was a really good and diverse mix with a lot of cheesy stuff thrown in, which we liked dancing to. It's great to just be able to loose yourself in the music, sing, dance and let it take your for a ride. It is a great experience. The most important thing about ‘going out’ or clubbing is that your night is only as good as the people you are with. If you are with someone or people who you love or who really love you then you always have a good experience. Otherwise you will not have a good time.
Because I was so nervous when it came to dancing, I bought a dancing DVD to learn some basic moves. This helped a lot. But it all depends on who you are with. Sometimes you just don't feel like dancing and for most it all depends on who you are with or how much drink you've had. You can be more spontaneous with certain people. Also if you haven't guessed already, dancing is also a form of exercise- that has may benefits for overcoming anxiety and depression.
Music can help you experience an array of different feelings and healing emotions. It can connect you with Love, and the feelings and experience of Love. It can help process blocks such as depression allowing you to come back to focussing on Love. For example listening to sad music allows you to feel emotions of sadness and sorrow, helping you to come back to natural states of harmony, love and joy.
Different music can have different effects. Generally it will make you relaxed and calm, sooth your spirit and create a good feeling. It will take your mind off the bad things in life as well as inspiring you to be more happy. Music allows you to dream, as it contains different forms of energy vibrations, motivation, creative ideas and viewpoints. For most music is a pleasurable activity.
The funniest theory I have heard is that we all have an innate apelike instinct to get together in groups, jump around, bang sticks on things and use our mouths to make funny noises. People believe that this is where music, disco and clubbing comes from. Music can be away of expressing who we are or what is truly going on in our hearts. The main point here is that music is healing. It is a form of energy geared up to make us feel good.
I enjoy listening to all types of music, such as 80s music, 90s pop music, stuff people rave to, and the really cheesy stuff people don’t like to admit that they listen to. But there have been several different types of songs and artists that have effected me on a spiritual level, which I will share with you.
The first songs that marked my spiritual turning point, was Righteous Brothers- Unchained Melody and, Foreigner - I want to know what love is. After a difficult and painful life, these two songs resonated with my heart at the spiritual turning point of my life, the opening of my heart to the fact that I really needed Love and really wanted to experience true love in my life and what it means. Only love can heal a broken heart.
Because there was a lot of unbelievable pain in my life that required healing, I also enjoyed listening to Roy Orbison. This is someone who has also been through a lot of pain and suffering himself. He lost his wife in a motorcycle accident, and then shortly afterwards his children died unnaturally in a fire. He was a huge heartbroken person. Roy Orbison managed to turn his suffering into something wonderful by making beautiful angel like music for peoples hearts and souls. One of my favourite songs by Roy Orbision is, She’s a mystery to me. This was originally written by Bonno and The Edge from U2 but they couldn’t finish the song so they asked Roy Orbison to help them with it. He finished the song and sung it so beautifully like an angel that it became his song.
The main person whose music has effected me spiritually or healed me in some way- is Elvis! One day I was out in the shops and I felt drawn to buy, Elvis- The 50 greatest hits. Although these songs and artists are way out of my time period, Elvis is timeless and this CD turned out to be brilliant- especially the 2nd CD. Elvis is a man of huge love. I believe Elvis was a saint whose life had a purpose for the healing of mankind. His soul mission was to come home to God and call his soul mate (his wife) through his music. All or most of Elvis’s songs are about his wife or about his Love for God. Elvis changed the world, and his life also had a deeper inner meaning and purpose to keep the world focussed on God and Love through his music. Elvis’s music contains a deep hidden magic that can heal suffering, depression and any type of emotional pain, helping people to come back to focussing their hearts on love and God. Elvis had a deep burning and pure love for God and also a lot of heartbrake and sadness. The pain of the whole world was in Elvis's heart, but also unbelievable huge love for God and his wife.
Music can really help heal any type of emotional pain or suffering. I can’t recommend it enough. Music is an important part of the self-actualizing and fully functional person, and of physical and emotional expression. It is a big spiritual tool for loving and making yourself perfect in Love. It is very important.
