"Singing is the highest form of expressing oneself."
Kurt Vonnegut
Science continues to verify the benefits of listening to music and singing which have been practiced since ancient history. Whether playing an instrument or chanting, the vibrations and expressions are said to be healing. Any instrument, whether guitar, piano or drum, generates the release of pent-up feelings. Singing does the same.
Whether singing with an opera or jamming with a favorite artist, our spirits are lifted. We feel better about ourselves, and our brain relaxes. Singing and dancing around the kitchen can be the very best of medicines. The musical experience, no matter what level, can ground us and release built up tension.
In a search of increasing spiritual practices, both music and chanting enhance meditative sessions. Combining breath intake with simple sounds, one can experience energy pulsing through the body and aligning with the soul. Hearts become free floating and repressed emotions escape allowing the sense of connection with the Divine.
