Music On It

Music on it. Music on it. What do I mean by that? Well, I've told you before in other videos that your brain is like an orchestra or a supercomputer. Well, you can consider music to be the medium via which your conscious self can tap into the vast complexities hidden within your subconscious. What do I mean by that? Well, it's probably best explained through a simple exercise. Here's what I want you to do. Find a deeply inspirational music track, preferably one without lyrics. I like a channel called Soaking Worship, for example, on Spotify. Choose anything that kind of stimulates you and puts you into a little bit of a meditative state. Begin to play the music through a good set of headphones, such as noise blocking headphones, and then lay on your back in a comfortable and quiet place with something like an eye mask on or your eyes covered. And then just breathe in some kind of a relaxed pattern that matches the cadence of the music. One, two, three, four. In. One, two, three, four, out. Now. Next, what I want you to do is put your subconscious to work. Recall a pleasant memory from childhood. Replay that in your mind. Process it. Observe what your body does. Your emotional response, your physical response, psychological response. Observe that. Now, recall a painful moment from just last week. Replay that in your mind. Maybe an argument, maybe a difficult, stressful scenario, maybe a disruptive email. I don't know. Process it. Observe your response. Recall something you're grateful for. Next. Okay, so first you have pleasant memory from childhood. Then a painful moment, and then something you're grateful for from the past few hours. Okay, something you're grateful from the past few hours. Maybe just a nice meal. Replay that in your mind. Process it. Observe your response. Now, here's the last thing. Now, ask yourself a question you've been puzzled by, like a workplace conundrum or personal struggle or a parenting or relationship issue. And then listen to the music and breathe as your subconscious chisels away on the issue and your conscious waits for the response to come back to your rational, logical, and aware mind. Okay, spend four to six minutes on each of those exercises, which is going to be about 20 minutes or so of meditation, though I've personally done this for a couple of hours before tackling various problems as I go. Now, here's how this works. The music serves as kind of a connectivity device between the portal of your conscious and your subconscious. So by following the stream of the music with your breath, you tap into memories and solve problems in a similar way you might when unconscious and dreaming. It's a very interesting phenomenon. So again, recall a painful experience that's occurred just in the past week, right after you've recalled a pleasant memory from childhood and you've breathed on both of those, then something you're grateful for in the past few hours, then a problem that you want to tackle. It's really interesting how your brain combines that memory recall with music with solving present problems. And this is a fantastic way to be able to kind of get the same type of mind expansion people look for from plant medicine journeys and things like that. But you're able to do things like process trauma, recall memories, and tackle problems in a new way by simply sleeping on things, walking on things, praying on things, or using the tactic that I just taught you to music on things. Try it out. Let me know what you think.
