The Rhythm of Your Heart

"Healing Waters"
Several years ago I created an instrumental CD with my son called "Healing Waters". Many people use it in hospitals, others play it to help them fall asleep. It's a calming CD that tends to settle the surrounding atmospheres.  During that time, I had come to a place where I really understood the power of music.  While growing up - I enjoyed various genres and even played the piano, but didn't really appreciate music untill I was an adult with children of my own. I began a deeper study of music and realized that on the one hand, music could be very theraputic and lift up your soul and spirit.  On the other hand, it could influence emotions in a negative way, sometimes causing anxiety and even depression.

As I continued to study the subject, I became more aware of the musical rhythmic sounds around me; the birds singing their songs, the raindrops when they hit the petals of plants ~ even the wind as it joined with the various trees in creating a swishing and sometimes hushing sounds. No wonder we find it comforting and peaceful to walk and sit in the parks or go outside to relax on our back porch while listening to the creative musical natural sounds around us...

I wrote a poem called, "The Rhythm of My Heart" and designed a greeting card. Many people have been moved and deeply touched by it.  In it I share how beautiful it is that we all have 'different and unique' rhythms within us.  Rhythms that direct our lives, our dreams and our goals.  Even our heart beats in various rhythms according to the peace or aggitation around us.

As I write this, I guess what I want to share is...pay attention to the rhythms of sound and music.  Not just through the T.V., radio, ipad, MP3's and other electronic devices - although it is important to take notice to reject or enjoy some of those sounds.  But take a moment one day and still your mind - go outside - find a quiet place. Walk in a park, or step onto your porch and listen to melodious sounds around you...and as you do...you will hear the steady beat of your own heart - physically and spiritually - and a new level of peace and hope will begin to enter in - taking you on a new, fresh journey of self-discovery.  A moment in time such as this...can change your life.

    "Essays in school were my favorite test questions. Little did I know that one day I would be writing poems, self-help books and now a fantasy trilogy.
      Sometimes if we just take a quick look back in time, we'll find a lost or  stolen  dream that was so hidden, even we didn't see it."
