Music heals the soul

The hustle and bustle of life seems never ending. Everyday when you wake up come exciting challenges and new obstacles to triumph over. Challenges make you stronger but it also tires the soul. Then comes the need to rest the soul and calms the mind. What can be a better calming instrument other than music itself?

Last Sunday was my usual blading routine and I arrived at East Coast equipped with my MP3 player. As I blade with the music accompanying me, I felt so relax as I surf the wind and bath myself in music. After an hour of blading, I sat under a tree listening to the sea wave and enjoying the sea breeze. Now I know why I like blading at East Coast while listening to my mp3. I always like the sun, the sand and the sea (sounds like navy eh =P). Every time I need to calm and relax myself, I would choose to go to the sea side. The waves always produce such soothing melody and the sea breeze never ceases to blow my troubles away. Blading beside the shore with music allows me to achieve the same effect and I finally comprehend my inherent love for blading. Well that isn’t all, it comes with the added benefit of keeping healthy as part of the blading package!

I realize that heaven does have a good sense of humor, when it wants you to realize some things, it will send many recurrent messages to you. Music and the soul continues as I blade back to McDonalds. A performance is going on at the stage area or should I say it is a mass participation? As I went to take a look to see which band is playing the music, I realize that it is the spectators themselves. The musician is giving instruments to all the spectators at the stage area and pulling them to join in the music. It is just simple recurrent rhythm but with so many different instruments playing, the music sure has lots of depth to it. People who doesn’t know each other start to integrate as one under the influence of the music and in an instance, everyone was friends and happy faces filled the stage.

I mentioned that heaven has a good sense of humor but did I tell you that heaven is also very persistent in conveying this humor? Yes heaven definitely is persistent as when night falls, I witness another power of music- Music and the youthful energy it gives! At night as I was having my dinner, I saw a group of teenagers gathering at the shore area and they started dancing and singing. I suspect that they are in a dance society or something in that natures as their dance moves are synchronize and well rehearsed. However that is not the thing that fascinates me, it is their vibrancy and spontaneity they manifest when they indulge in their dance and music. Such energy charges the soul of those people around them making them feel like being young again! I for one felt young from their enthusiasm. Not that I am very old to begin with, but it is just a new surge of youthfulness that swept through me as I watched these positive energy emitted from these teenagers.

In summary, music is really magnificent as it not only calms the soul, it unites people and bring out the joy, togetherness and youthfulness in people.

“Music to the soul is like water to the body, it is an essential thing that nourish the soul!”
