Music has always been important to me. I did not, however, realize how the lyrics in a song could act upon the subconscious mind similar to affirmations. The lyrics in a song are words after all. Some of the lyrics in songs are uplifting and some lyrics changes the mood of a person. The vibration in musical notes resonate with the vibration in us. Even instrumental music affect us.
Once CDs replaced record albums, I decided to go to a shop called 3rd Street Jazz and get music that I enjoyed as a teenager growing up in the mid to late sixties, the Motown Sound, Gamble and Huff and other labels and artists.
One of my favorite artist was Dionne Warwick. She had a song that she sang called, A Message to Michael. I remember putting my CD in the player and sat back to reminisce. Those old songs held memories for me of a guy I may have dated or an event that took place when that particular song was popular. Only, I did not expect what happened next. I became down and started to feel depressed. I stopped the CD and started to ask myself, what just happened?
I took out the lyric notes and began to read the words. Those words were depressing. I suddenly realized why I use to become depressed back then when I listened to this song and many others like it. I made a decision to stop listening to old music with depressing lyrics as well as current music with depressing lyrics. There is little difference between an affirmation and singing songs. I would imagine that singing the words have a greater affect on the mind. I choose positive words to use in an affirmation. I also choose positive songs or music that has uplifting words because this too is affirming. When you think negative thoughts, this too is affirming. The law of Cause and Effect works the same for positive thoughts as it does for negative thoughts. Your subconscious mind does not care if you speak your words or sing them. I am careful that they are positive most of the time.
Meditation: contemplate on, I watch my words whether I speak them or sing them. I speak and sing words that are positive. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths and go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
