AFRI-INLEO INITIATIVE 21// MUSIC IS MEDICINAL

Music has the capacity to touch our hearts, soul and lifts our spirit high. It heals and delivers. I know stating this might be controversial to many or might lack scientific basis but I would practically share how this statement was validated.

The impact of music in the life of human can't be overemphasized. It has done more than what one could share. To an extend to me music is mysterious because it can't be seen but can be felt and the impact can be expressed. Sometimes when I go to church or other gatherings when songs are sang or worship hmmmm you could see many being emotional and even literally crying. One might be left with certain questions to nurse at heart this is one of the mysterious act of music.
At times too I normally find myself crying when I start singing some other songs. More so if I reflect on the lyrics hmmm it gives me deeper meaning and reason to be more emotional.

Music can provide comfort for those who are ill, downcast and emotionally unstable. One music is played, there is an atmosphere that it creates that unconsciously it relieves one from stress and other pain. Presently I got MP3 that is reachable loaded with some sounds and has a function for Bluetooth and FM. Many times I play it all through the night and even at the course of my day. It keeps me company and creates an atmosphere of positive thinking. Sometimes I reflect along the lines of the sound thereby lifting my soul and granting me ascendancy to a higher realm especially in the place of prayer.

As I am typing this post, there is an audio Bible that is playing. It makes my atmosphere more spiritual and reduces tension and anxiety. This is apparently healing. There are times when I am angry or perplexed what restores me quickly is music. I must confess that anytime I noticed a drop in my spiritual life, what quickens and propels me is some sound from my phone. It brings healing to my dieing soul. Actually I find it difficult to categorically explain the healing power of music just like somebody sick takes drugs for healing. Similarly there are music too that once one listens to brings revitalisation to the spirit.

Music I guess is even recommended to some as part of their therapy for Thier healing. Some use music as they exercise themselves in the gym while others play some sound at the background as they sleep. I remembered in those days, one of my favourite sound was jazz. I can block my ears listening to it all through even as I read my books.
I have heard testimony of someone that was hospitalised and lying on sick bed for a while. A music was played which happened to be a song sang by Don Moen which says I am the lord, that heals me. Immediately he connected to the song, he jumped up from the bed and started walking. What a power of music.
Friends music heals and revives. Don't joke with music it's a powerful tool that heals till today.

There are days when I would wake up on the wrong side of the bed,I would listen to music so as not to pass aggression to others.
There are nights when sleep was far from me,music helped in putting me to bed.
Thank God for music for such days.
