Music can move the soul and emotions.

What Everybody Should Know... About How To Change Old Habits.

Did you know that when we listen to music it changes our mood?

Music has its own way to stirring our senses and our innermost feelings, by tapping into our emotions. As the old adage goes "Music is a universal language". It has that unique ability to speak to anyone deeply. It is interesting to pay attention to how your emotions react to particular types of music. You may have noticed that there is a particular music that seems to enliven the energy within you. There is a particular music that can remind you of a special memory of place, time or a person and there is a particular music that can trigger strong emotions in you and move you to tears. Or there is also particular music that can fill you with a deep spiritual attunement. On occasions music has had profound effects on our ability to heal. This is the reason why there are now particular rhythms, beats and sounds used for inner healing. Binaural Beats and Alpha Music are just two examples that are highly recommended as tools to re-align your own mind states and emotions.

Binaural Beats

Binaural beats, also called binaural tones are apparent sounds or auditory processing artifacts that arises the independent physical stimuli of the brain. The effect of binaural beats was discovered and introduced to us by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove in 1839. Apparently, our brain produces a certain phenomenon that results in a low-frequency pulsation depending on the loudness of the perceived sound when two tones with a little difference in their frequencies are separately presented into each ear with the use of headphones and may appear as if they are naturally mixed. The experience of listening to these distorted sounds can be quite off putting. The whole point is to trick the conscious mind into confusion allowing the notes or tones to work directly on the subconscious. The results are quite outstanding.

Alpha Music

As explained above, the effect of music in one's mood and feelings is powerful that it can actually contribute to a person's physical wellbeing. Nowadays, many medical practitioners around the world advise their patients to use music in their pain and anxiety management programs. Scientific attention is now given to the reported experiences of supporting medical professionals and patients and many mental health specialists, doctors, health workers, scientists and innovative music therapists are now researching how best to use music in making the patients feel better. The tones and rhythms of Alpha music are quite different as they actually slow the patient or listeners mind down to almost sleep states. This state of Alpha is then developed and allowed to sustain itself for extended periods of time. The benefits to the client or practitioner are a release of peace and silent contemplation within. Thus assisting the process of recovery from illness, trauma or over stimulation.

Pennies From Heaven

It was time again to ask for divine intervention. . When you live on a Wing and a Prayer you have to have absolute confidence that life will deliver what you need.. It takes courage and blind faith to live this way..

Another of the glorious magic moments was an occasion when the purse strings were stretch to the limits yet again.. story of my life.. some might say..My husband was over seas working.. I had been given 4 post dated cheques to live on for the period of his departure. Each of these cheques was to provide all the food and necessities for a fortnight.. well as we all know not every thing in life goes exactly to plan. Friday was the official cash the cheque day.

It was Tuesday 3 days to go.. On one level I knew we could get by and that if I really was clever we would survive.. always loved a challenge..today though I had to get food in the cupboard.

I am sure this has happened to you?.. you know those moments when you get to the check out and you have too many items in the basket, you make a decision which ones shall I put back..

Well there I was at the check out when the neighbour from hell approached me with a sly look at my shopping basket.. It took all my strength to smile sweetly and ignore her presence.. When the teller told me the amount required I hastily handed over the dollars and departed post haste.. I breathed a sigh of relief as I fastened my seat belt and laughed at the lucky escape I had from the obnoxious neighbour who delighted in making our lives hell.. what is it about her anyway..?

As I started the engine with all the shopping in the back seat.. I glanced down at the petrol gauge.. bummer the needle was on E.. oh no in my haste to get out of the shop I had forgotten my plan to hold enough money back to get petrol..my best laid plans had been thwarted.. why didn't I listen to the voice in my head? Here I was now with no petrol 3 days to go before pay cheque day and oh no I had also forgotten the cat food... blood oath now what can I do?.

I limped home in my car praying all the way to my self " Please god just let there be enough petrol to get home" . Then I can search all my pockets, rattle all the money boxes, find all the old purses and any other container that might just have a few forgotten dollars tucked away.Free wheeling down the drive I came to a gentle Holt.. With a cuppa tea in hand I started my search..

Then the phone rang.. the nice neighbour on the other side of the drive was asking if I could pick up her kids today, from school with mine, as she was at the dentist.... well I said I could walk them home to fill up some time that would be a change wouldn't it.?.She agreed. I did not tell her the reason for the exercise.. resourcefulness came to my rescue.. I continued my search.

After half an hour and all efforts came to zilch I decided it was time for divine intervention. With a second cup of tea I had a serious talk to GOD. " I need your help right now.. I do not often ask for money, but this time I am seriously up the Swanee with out a paddle.. I really need some petrol and cat food.. and perhaps a little extra to get me through to Friday, if you really are listening could you send some help RIGHT now? "

I sat in silence for about 5 min's waiting for the voice from the pearly gates to answer.. Nope no such response. There was nothing more to do than to get the flat shoes on and walk both ways to the local school with a good positive attitude and pretend this was just normal and there was nothing wrong at all. In fact life was just fine and dandy and the cats will have to have the same dinner as us.. As I walked I decided the kids were far too lazy anyway and walking was good for the soul.. I even convinced myself that the same thing applied to me.. By the time I reached the school I was as high as a kite with my own sense of righteousness.

Children walk slowly when they are starving and tired, the bag of apples I had carried with me did little to cheer them up.. the long dawdle home seemed to take for ever especially with 6 kids are in tow.. As we reached the post box at the top of the drive I could see a lime green envelope was sticking out of the box, odd, I remember thinking, it was not there when I left at 2.30 this afternoon! Wonder who has popped over? Obviously I missed a visitor, a casual thought went through my mind.

As I reached inside to grab the contents I noticed it had no name on or stamp. Even more obscure.. funny.. what can it be.. perhaps it is a kids game or something.. Intrigued I opened the envelope and out fell 5 ten dollar notes...what is this? I searched the envelope again, no note, no card nothing. It was empty just the blue notes.. Then I remembered the prayer.. the high as a kite feeling returned in a flash.. I was dancing down the drive.. the kids thought I had gone barmy.. there is a god I was singing.. come on kids come on there is a god..lets get in the car.. let's go and get Chicken Treat for tea...and the neighbours kids can come too.. let's celebrate.. petrol is on the list and the cats can have tinned chicken they get a treat too. Hurray there is a God there really is and he came through for me too.

On a wing and a prayer .

I prayed for it.. then it happened. Be careful what you pray for.. that is what we are told. Always ask for other people not for yourself.. well I sort of was asking for other people really.

Back in 1980 something, I was running a grooming and deportment school in a little town in W.A. I had big dreams and huge ideas and absolutely No money.. All promotions were done on a wing and a prayer and all the classes followed the same recipe.. I was convinced that if you really believed you could do something then a way would be shown to you on how to do it..

One particular day I was getting ready for 16 fourteen year old girls to arrive for a make up class. Can you imagine 16 teenagers let loose on pots of eye shadow and sticks of lipstick.. yes heaven and hell all mixed in together. The class was due to start at 4pm. It was actually 10 am when I realised that my meagre stock of Maybelline lipsticks would not stretch to 16 faces..

It was time to raid the bathroom cupboards and rustle up some extra items from the home supplies.. but before I hit the home front I remembered the good old fashioned " prayer notion". I was in a dilemma.. I needed divine intervention and fast.. it felt right to just ask..

I sat on the office chair in the middle of the demonstration room and cleared my throat... to say a few very powerful words to " my maker " it went something like this... " now look here god.. who ever you are.. or where ever you are.. I really need a shot of luck and help down here."
"I mean if I am supposed to be doing this personal development with teenagers then show me a sign that I am on the right track, get me buckets of makeup RIGHT now" .
There was no room for bargaining here.. this was a serious need.. the voice of a desperate person on a mission..

I dutifully thought to myself well if this works then it's a miracle.. I went home in search of the extra beauty items... poor Elly and Ruth my 2 daughters they were about to donate all their make up to a good cause... when needs must and all that.

I arrived back at the office armed with a small box of goodies.. but still not enough for 16 giggling girls.. .Then one of those Magic Moments happened... the phone rang and the voice said..

" Hi Pam.. Belinda here from the local beautician's.. I was wondering if your girls would like all our old stock of make up..?" I nearly fell off the chair. I didn't want to sound too needy so in a light hearted controlled ( well I thought it was ) voice I said.. " Oh how lovely yes I am sure they would." Gulping with excitement at the other end of the phone.

Half and hour later in walked " the stock" little did I know that it was going to be a whole display stand with every colour of eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, eyeliner,mascara and all the brushes to go with it.. there was enough for 50 girls..

Wha heeeeee... what a wonderful time we are all going to have... and my two daughters would be the envy of all there friends too. I was now winning on two fronts..there is a God it works this is a serious miracle and the best magic moment to date.

I do not have to tell you the delight and excitement that unfolded at 4pm when all " the girls" rocked up for their sessions.. it was sheer heaven on a stick.. their faces were like children at Christmas.. sparkling eyes and faces of pure joy and screams and giggles as they made up each others faces... blues and pinks, peaches and greens.. they had the lot..

I was ecstatic too there was a GOD after all he does listen.. he is reachable.. what form or shape he/she has is not important the act of love and the believe was enough for me.. Cheers to following your dreams making it happen and loving the adventure along the way.. Magic moments do happen..

Love to you all PammieB
