JIE Blog Episode 19 Inner Music



Journeys Into Enlightenment with Janet 

Episode 19 Blog   Inner Music


We have inner rhythms that create body music that reflect or harmonize to the sounds and music outside of our body. What and how we hear accesses our emotions directly. It accesses in ways quicker than time spent thinking and interpreting.

Need a switch in changing emotional states? Listen to a piece of music that feels different than what you are feeling. Need comfort? Listen to a heartbeat. Need to move? Put on a bouncy tune and watch your foot tap, knee bounce, hips sway, your arms swing all without your direction or intention. Hear the water in the fountain or river and feel the peace. Feel the alignment shift between body, mind, spirit. Or in spirit, body, mind. Or mind. Body, spirit. 

Feel how you are hearing information. You are responding to tones in voice before the words hit your ear and isn’t that an interesting way to put that? Before the words hit your ear, which may have something to do with how powerful we feel what is said to us. It is a strike on the ear drum reverberating into our deepest places so quickly we have no process time. We strike the keys on the piano, stroke the cords of the harp, violin, guitar and such. 

We vibrate potential and energy in waves.  

Once something is heard it is triggering different depths of memory and resonating in ways we don’t notice. Only another vibration that is deliberately placed can counteract to clear the resonance. So, our words and sounds are important. That is what healing is, the ability to clear old resonations and bring in new harmonies and adding the range of notes that will take us to new places.

How much is the city bustle affecting your inner rhythm? How much is your heart on alert to perceived threat? Why is music becoming so important on our hand held devices? Are we using it to drown out or drone out the constant bombardment we call daily Life?

The following quotes share how we are organized in Being and in form. Take time to just relax and invite yourself to let go for a few moments and be present to the rhythms in the states of awareness they embody.

Access. Breathe through your heart and just let. Enjoy.

“Life is a song. It has its own rhythm of harmony. It is a symphony of all things which exist in major and minor keys of Polarity. It blends the discords, by opposites, into harmony which unites the whole into a grand symphony of life. To learn through experience in this life, to appreciate the symphony and lessons of life and to blend with the whole, is the object of our being here.” - Dr. Randolph Stone (founder of Polarity Therapy)

“Consciousness is somehow a by-product of the simultaneous, high frequency firing of neurons in different parts of the brain. It’s the meshing of these frequencies that generates consciousness, just as tones from individual instruments produce the rich, complex, & seamless sounds of a symphony orchestra.” - Francis Crick (1916-2004) (Molecular Biologist/Co-Discoverer of DNA and its 
significance for information transfer in living material)

“It struck me recently, that one should really consider the sequence of a protein molecule about to fold into a precise geometric form as a line of melody written in a canon form & so designed by Nature to fold back into itself, creating harmonic chords of interaction consistent with biological function.”Christian B. Anfinsen (1916-1995) (Renowned Biochemist/Nobel Prize Winner)

“It has been found that musical vibrations make their impact upon the entire body, being picked up by the nerves, spinal column, and even by the bones. This is why people who are deaf can react to music. It has also been demonstrated that music affects the pulse, respiration, and blood pressure; but it’s deepest effects, and those from which most of its curative properties are derived, are mental and emotional.” - Doren Antrim author of Music is Medicine

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.” - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“Do you know that our soul is composed of harmony?” - Leonardo da Vinci, Notebooks (1451-1519)

“Music is the mediator between the life of the senses and the life of the spirit.” - Beethoven (1770-1827)

“Harmony sinks deep into the recesses of the soul and takes its strongest hold there, bringing grace also to the body & mind as well. Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order”… - Plato (429-347)
