The Practice--Frequency Muse (find yours)
Musicians talk about getting into the flow or about
channeling music. Some musicians such as
Mary Youngblood in an interview I once did with her saw herself as a vessel of
the Divine or God. She mentioned her
two-word prayer, “use me.” Then she would pick up her flute to record or
perform live. The Canadian virtuoso
pianist Glenn Gould cited in biographical books and movies, which he had to
transcend through the music in order to survive a performance on a badly tuned
piano.
This brings up a good point and that musicians often need to
contend with drafts, overheated venues, noise from audience members, problems
with an instrument (I had my guitar pickup die on me once while I was giving a
performance in London) and some musicians have to deal with awful sound
engineers, bad microphones and the list goes on.
Fortunately, we have muses who come along to keep us
inspired and to open doors for Divine energy to flow through allowing musicians
to bond to the music and their listeners.
Musicians play the role of the middle person--the go-between the music
and the audience. Often musicians from
all genres resemble psychic mediums as their bodies shudder, tremble and their
faces contort into ecstatic expressions as if they’re in the throes of
passionate sex. And in a way they are,
but instead of making love directly with another human, they make love through
their instruments and Divine frequencies in some cases.
Children seem more attune with the higher frequencies. Have you ever watched children around
different types of rhythms and melodies? The children react to the raw power of
music by dancing without inhibitions or they sing along, not caring if they can
carry a tune. Some adult musicians, such
as Gould, who seemed like a child in the body of a man, also responded to music
from music’s purist frequencies. Movies
about virtuoso musicians also give us the impression that musicians exist in
another realm, and in a way they do. Musicians
tune into frequencies more easily than people who don’t pursue their creativity. You cannot delight in the wonders of the
world if you’re stuck in a pragmatic mindset.
However, even non-musicians can purposely tune into the
higher frequencies while listening to music.
This takes practice through meditation to unclog the body’s channels. And we must also practice the art of
listening to music. That means when we
place that CD in the player or we plug into whatever music device, we must
actively listen to the music and completely lose ourselves in the rhythms,
melodies, instruments, and soon we also feel the energy of the musicians who
perform the music. I’ve never in my life
not been able to do this and many times I have fallen under the spell of music.
When you see musicians such as Gould conducting to the music
he hears, you can bet he’s absorbing musical vibrations deeply into every cell
in his body. While we can’t observe any
footage of Bach or Mozart doing the same, we can watch interpreters of this
music channel the music as if it is their own.
Take an online trip to YouTube and watch virtuoso performers playing any
works by your favorite composers. Write
down notes of your observations. Watch different types of musicians from
vocalists to pianist and cellist. Do you
find any common denominators? Do you feel embarrassed watching what seems like
private sensual moments between the musicians and music? If that’s the case
then you must let go of your own inhibitions where music is concerned.
In order to fully absorb musical frequencies and lift your
vibration to a healthier level, you must form a new relationship with your
muse. That’s right we all have a
muse. And this muse allows us to embrace
our inner and outer child and still take care of our adult needs. After all, we can’t fulfill our creative
potential when we stay stuck in the adult survival mode. And oddly, when we realize that the adult
survival mode is just fear posing as practicality and creating a block, we slip
out of that mode and the abundance comes flowing our way. This happens because we have become
co-creator, and even the poorest musicians understand this. The wonderful thing about music is that if
you find the music you love, most likely if it comes from a higher frequency,
it will love you back. And maybe this is
why so many people find music healing in their lives.
Try it.
Here are 3 examples of musicians with their muses
1. Corsican singers A Filetta, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQN99-k5HI4
2. Queen of the Night Aria, Mozart's Magic Flute (takes a lot out of a singer)
3. Ravi Shankar, sitar, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmOIh1lqWzc
