Music of the Heart
By Jackie Woods

Have you ever had an experience that makes your Heart sing? Of course, that doesn’t mean you instantaneously burst into song, but you felt the presence of your spirit as a living entity inside you. Just remembering how full you felt of all that is positive which made you hunger for more.

The unfortunate thing is that the songs of the spirit get drowned out by the business of our lives. The music is always present for the Heart to hear. It just isn’t always heard. Oftentimes the routine of life produces a dull roar that gets intensified as tension builds. And, if we repeatedly forget to change our inner station from outer demands to sounds of the Heart, we begin to associate the sounds generated from the outside as the only channel available.

Probably an equally consuming distraction from hearing your Heart sing comes from the chatter that goes on in your own mind. Mind chatter has its own frequency. It is different than the sounds produced from the tension that comes from trying to keep up with outside demands. However, it does not come close to the perfect vibration of spirit as it sings to your Heart.

Why do you suppose the musical classics have survived for hundreds of years? They came from the inspiration of the composer’s spirit. What got written down was the composer’s Heart interpretation of the sounds that came to him from the higher vibrations of the universe.

Your daily composition may not be a musical classic, but instead a loving word or a job well done. You have seven energy centers through which your Heart can resonate. Each of these centers vibrates at the same frequency in everyone. This means that even though your Heart’s music may not make it on the list of famous musical scores, it can reach out to all who will listen. So in essence your songs will be heard and replayed by many.

Since each center resonates with a different musical key, you have the opportunity to express your Heart’s song in many different ways. For instance, Mozart wrote his Requiem Mass in the key of C minor. The key of C resonates with the physical energy center. The Requiem was played at his funeral, i.e. the death of the physical. Listening to music in the key of C major can help you hear the rhythm and tenor of your physical body. And, by letting your own body’s song be heard, you can increase your energy level. Your next energy center up from the physical center vibrates in harmony with the key of D. They continue to climb the entire seven step musical scale until you reach the crown of your head.

As you can see, musical composition expressed from your Heart each day may focus on different keys, depending on which part of you is called upon to take the lead. In other words, your spirit has no musical limitations. Limitations only come from failing to do internal listening and external expression.

Listening to the sounds of your external world can keep you from letting your Heart sing. To keep that from happening, you need to see the outside activities and people as the paper on which you write your daily musical scores.
