Everybody loves music. Music is everywhere, it permeates our world. Everyone knows that music has power and importance. But have you ever stopped to consider why? What is it about music that gives it so much power and importance?
Here are seven main reasons:
- Music is a universal language. It inspires common human sentiments and bridges gaps between cultures that spoken languages cannot. Bring people together and create a universal community.
- Music inspires and evokes emotions in a healthy way. It touches our emotional being and evokes moods and feelings that are sometimes difficult to express. It can change a difficult mood and make you happy or excited; it can change a light mood and take it deeper and deeper.
- Music enhances learning and makes it more enjoyable. It is scientifically proven that music improves brain function. Playing music uses many brain functions simultaneously: motor control, imagination, hearing, sight, memory, etc.
- Music creates atmosphere. You can use music in any setting to enhance and enhance what already exists. Consider the difference between a party with music and one without, or a sporting event, or a movie, or a romantic restaurant, or driving your car…
- Music is spiritual. Music is of the spirit and inspiring to the spirit. All religions use music to help express spiritual values and all religions use music to uplift the spirit.
- Music sparks the imagination. It calls up mental images and inner scenes that open the mind to amazing vision and span the distance between the stars.
- Music is a simple pleasure. All you need are your ears and your imagination.
I think that at the core of the phenomenon of magic that music creates is the spiritual aspect. Music is a gift from God, a sacred expression of the Universal Life Force Energy that creates us all.
