Music has powerful healing qualities, which have been documented by research. Beyond that, it can be a wonderful tool for connecting with our emotions, sense of meaning, and deeper selves. The next time you find yourself feeling moved by a piece of music, take note (no punn intended 🙂 and make sure to record it in your memory.
Relish the experience of letting yourself steep in the sounds, and allow them to enter your body on a cellular level. Doing this can re-imprint your central nervous system, allowing you to achieve deeper states of relaxation, which in turn helps heal over-worked adrenal glands. Healthy adrenal glands contribute to increased energy throughout the day, a healthy libido, and more restful sleep during the night.
In this webisode, I share an article by legendary birth doula Penny Simkin in which she shares the benefits of singing to your baby during pregnancy. The same way a special song can soothe a newborn, we can sing to bring out the best in ourselves. Whether you’re desiring a boost in energy, needing to let out pent-up emotion, or singing for pure joy, let yourself sing out! Connect with your unique essence through song, and experience the healing and inspirational effects of this practice.
