Tips and techniques
Music has great power, it can be used to help us concentrate, feel kindness, love and joy or it can be used to bring us into restlessness, confusion, depression and misery. Music has a great potential to resonate with the higher realities of love and joy in our own selves. It has a direct impact on our consciousness.
Music is used everywhere. But we are often not aware of the effect that it has on our mood, thoughts and feelings.
In this course we offer a way not only to become aware of what different music does to you, but also share tools and melodies to help you raise your consciousness and open your heart!
