Reconnect: Somatic Music for a Wired Nervous System
Somatic music for a mind that's running too fast.
Dear friends,
It is impossible to live in this world and not feel the weight of it. Whether there is grief or anger at the injustices of the world, or in having to let go of the life we thought we’d have, or relationships that may have burned us. Perhaps there is a sense of helplessness as we watch the world around us seemingly fall apart at the seams. These feelings are real, they are heavy and they must be felt. Cry it out, punch a pillow (one of my go-tos), but feel it with patience toward yourself and without judgement. To do this, we can turn to the medicine of music. I make this music to help me, and it can help you too.
Not long ago, negative, spiralling thoughts hit me hard and I got completely flooded. So I reached for the medicine I knew would help. I pressed play and moved through this somatic music series: 1. RELEASE, 2. RESET, 3. RESTORE, and 4. RECONNECT. (5. RADIATE is the coming). This music works as medicine for exactly these moments. It interrupts and gently short-circuits the loop the mind gets stuck in, while actually being something the body wants to groove to.
When the sound journey had finished, the triggering stimulus hadn’t gone anywhere, but my nervous system felt more relaxed, my mind had calmed and made way for my soul to be back in the driver’s seat. If your mind is running too fast trying to make sense of the chaos around you, or if you simply don't like the frequency you're sitting in, this is how you change it. Let this music be medicine - and let the calm it brings be what you carry back into the world.
Put on your headphones, close your eyes and just let go. Let the music do what it needs to and let your body respond how it wants to. Even if you fall asleep, that’s totally acceptable (also, a little nap is always a good choice).
You have to feel it to free it.
