Inner Sound Tools for Self Discovery Series

Music for the body: Music for Children
  48 mins / CD and cassette
Description:
 

This music is for children, and also for the ‘creative child’ in adults.
The music helps free up constrictions in the 3rd energy center in the solar plexus that restrict the flow of energy in the electromagnetic field as a whole, hampering the ability to be spontaneous and joyful.

Primary Motifs:
 
Expansion, Contraction, Opening and Child.
Recommended listening:
 
Intensive use: once a day
Normal use: once a week

Other uses:

 

 

If possible allow enough time to do the exercises for both Side A and Side B at the same sitting.

Side A

(Can be done with both children and adults, alone or in a group. The exercise as given here is for an adult.)

You will need some kind of percussion instrument for this exercise. A drum, rattle, tambourine, spoon and pot, or anything with which you can make a noise will work. If you feel it necessary, practice a bit before you put the music on to accustom yourself to your ‘instrument’. Then start the music and in time to the music begin marching around the room.

When you are comfortable with that, then begin to play your instrument in time to the music. Allow yourself to enter into the spirit of the music. If you feel silly or self-conscious doing this, even by yourself, then take whatever time you need to enter in. Have fun. If you do not have a lot of space, march in place. Keep marching and playing until the music shifts to another style, approximately 12 minutes.

Stand for a moment to enjoy the sensations in your body, and when you feel like it, allow yourself to move in a spontaneous manner with the music. Maybe, you will want to sway, or maybe you will want to move only your arms. Whatever movement you make, allow it to come from inside of you. If what you want to do is lie down and listen, do so. Continue until the music ends.


Side B

Posture: lying down.

If possible, do this exercise directly following the exercise for Side A as this will help to integrate whatever movement was made in that exercise.

Imagine yourself in a hammock on a beautiful star-filled night. A gentle breeze is blowing. Maybe you are on the deck of a sailboat swinging to anchor in a moonlit cove. Maybe you are on a tropical island swinging between 2 palm trees, or you are in your own back yard. Allow yourself to enter in as completely as you can to whatever ambience you visualize.

As the music plays, let your mind drift. Let thoughts, images, memories come and go. All you have to do is swing gently and relax. If you fall asleep, great. Continue this for as long as you can, even after the music stops.

Use

Do these 2 exercises as often as desired. The 2 together, one after the other, create a balance between action and relaxation, expansion and contraction

Substance abuse
(drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, etc.)
Scientists have learned that the brain makes its own pleasure-producing chemicals, called endorphins and enkephalins. These chemicals lie at the surface of certain specialized nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain and fit into the neurons like keys into keyholes.

Substances such as nicotine, narcotics, etc. contain chemicals that also fit into these keyholes, which is why these substances produce feelings of pleasure. As a result of relying on increasing doses of the substance however, the brain stops the production of its own endorphins and enkephalins. Thus these substances actually change the body chemistry in such a way that normal functioning becomes impossible unless the substance is present.
