Music - universal language...

"Music is the universal language, because it is the language of the universe."               


I don't know about you, but I truly believe music can heal your soul!!!

Music can calm you, smooth you, reach your soul, make you smile, make you want to dance, make you laugh, make you cry, and can be really good for your soul.

I am extremely musical. I am a vocalist, I can play piano and I am a very artistic. So music is most certainly a language for me. It helps me to explain how I feel or what I need at the moment. Especially since I am Bipolar and menopausal. I have a lot of days that are not the best mentally and then my chronic illnesses make me very physically sick. So I have a lot of demons to deal with daily.
I know I am not the easiest person to live with, I'm sure my wonderful husband can attest to that.

So you know what I do, I listen to music almost 80% of my day and depending on my mood and how I feel it helps me get thru.

I know music is a universal language because it can open up so many doors for so many people. My kids when they were little (all grown up now) had trouble learning things so I would try to put memory tests to music and teach them this method. It always worked. All 3 of my kids got my musical abilities and I know my son uses his music to touch his soul and others.

We should never be afraid to express our feelings (of course there are times and places)...but our feelings is who we are. When we rock out we are happy/spunky; when we slow dance we are melancholy; when we do alternative we are looking for a difference. So music is truly a universal language.

What music have you found yourself listening to when you are at your lowest point in your life? Or what kind of music do you find yourself expressing and singing the loudest to in the shower or car?
My Friday's are always "Shinedown" days at work or at home on Pandora. I love to rock out to some Shinedown. But Monday's always seem to be my "Ellie Goulding" days. So it truly is an art form to help one's feelings.

I have been struggling really bad with my Bipolar and Menopause. This has been making me extremely emotional and it seems all I want to do it cry. So music can help me by cheering me up and helping me to be a better person like I always had been.

Its really hard to listen to music when you are vomiting from GP. So I sing a lot to myself. Humming is a good medicine.

When you hear a person walk past you and they are whistling or humming to themselves you can usually tell what kind of mood they are in. Singing in the shower is another art form in itself. How many of you have used the shampoo bottle as a microphone and have developed a singing voice (whether it is in tune or not)? My kids used to sing loudly in the shower, so I always knew what kind of mood they were in.

So making music a universal language is a small statement with big advantages to one's physical and mental health.

Sing along... Sing along...
