Sound is all around us, from the hum of everyday life to the music we choose to surround ourselves with. But did you know that sound can be a gateway into our emotions and inner world? Music, especially, taps directly into our brain, affecting our mood, focus, and sense of connection.

Why Music Speaks to Our Brain

Music affects our brains on a deeply instinctual level. For instance, slow, flowing melodies often reduce stress and promote calm, while upbeat rhythms can trigger alertness and energy. This is because different sounds activate different areas of the brain, allowing us to shift our mindset and mood.

Music and the “Feel-Good” Brain

When we listen to music we love, our brain releases dopamine, the chemical associated with pleasure and reward. This is one reason why music can change our mood so quickly, lifting us up or calming us down. Sometimes, a melody can even bring out emotions we didn’t know we were holding onto, helping us process them subconsciously.

How I Use Sound in My Sessions

In my sessions, I don’t follow a set composition. Instead, I let the music arise spontaneously, shaped by the location, the people present, and those joining online. I tune into these unique energies, letting the sounds flow naturally through me and the piano. This makes each session a living, breathing experience that mirrors the collective atmosphere and emotions, inviting everyone to connect more deeply with themselves.

Tips for Using Music as a Personal Growth Tool

Whether or not you join a session, there are simple ways to experience the transformative effects of music in your daily life:

1. Choose a Song for the Mood You Want – Pick music that aligns with the energy you need at the moment. Want calm? Go for a gentle melody. Need motivation? Try something upbeat.

2. Engage with Sound Fully – When you listen, try immersing yourself fully. Feel the rhythm, the beats, and notice how your body and emotions respond. This mindful listening can be deeply grounding.

3. Curate a Personal Playlist for Different Moods – Build playlists based on your moods or intentions. Over time, you may find these sounds bring you comfort or focus, no matter where you are.

Final Reflection

Music has a unique ability to bring us closer to ourselves, helping us feel grounded, connected, and more in touch with our emotions. Whether it’s a melody that resonates with your heart or a rhythm that boosts your energy, let sound be a pathway to deeper self-understanding.
