Meditation With Mindful Harp Music

By Richard Howard


It was once said that if music be the food of love, play on. Whether reading Shakespeare or not, mindful harp music allows one the chance to unwind whilst listening to the awesomeness of this amazing instrument. It is not easy relaxing whilst one is busy doing the endless chores that make up any given day so with this in mind, time out must be planned in order to do just this.

There is a way to do just this and here we go into how to go about finding the quiet time needed from a hectic busy schedule that seems to be the norm today. Most people get caught up in a busy schedule and just do not find the time to sit quietly and just be. Music such as this allows one the time to do just this and apart from this, it is great to use as background music in the workplace.

If one is looking for a more meaningful experience whilst playing harp pieces, then there is a way to do just this in the comfort of the home. It is something that should be worked into the day's schedule as it is a way of relieving stress which everybody needs. The way to do this is to lay down on a comfortable surface, ideally on one's back, and take in the sounds of this amazing instrument.

Whilst laying down and listening to the harp in the background, breathe in slowly and exhale slowly making sure that the breathes are deep and rhythmic. Focus on this for some time whilst monitoring what the rest of the body is doing with attention to stress that one feels throughout the body. When one is in a deeper state of consciousness, focus on what is happening in the mind and just look at it as a third person as if watching a television show of someone else.

This helps to unwind and should be continued for about five minutes giving the body and mind a chance to settle down. Continue to do just this and start being aware of the tension that is felt in all parts of the body. With the music playing softly try to picture what is going through the mind whilst not trying to fight the myriad of thoughts and images flowing through it.

When breathing becomes slow and rhythmic start to focus on how one is feeling and try to feel the tension in the rest of the body. This allows one to become aware as to the state of stress the body is in whilst concentrating on the music in the background. One may get restless and agitated but it is best to allow these feelings to pass and enter a deeper state of consciousness.

It is never too late to start. Playing this type of music helps do just that. Taking time out is essential to healthy living.

It is quite easily accomplished. Doing this is empowering. It leaves one in a stress free state ready to tackle anything that the day has to offer.
