Beyond Ears

Music is so important to me. She brings people together. This is inspired by "The Music Lesson".

13. Music. Different levels of meditation can be explained more technically. Buddhists may believe that to meditate one must detach himself from the emotions and peripheral experiences of that moment. A different form may be to allow the raw emotion of the experience fulfill you. Both of which ask you to invite your surroundings in as your eyes, ears, mouth nose and skin "see it". When they are all they are. Before you get a chance to create of it what you know and change it to some or all of what it is and some or all of what it isn't. I think it's
Important to balance to a healthy feel with both or all versions of meditation.
I'll bet you can move to a beat. Not just Dance, but move to a beat when "know music" is playing. That's the kind of music you hear in your head or "know beat" is playing. Maybe you're just listening to a count 1,2,3 strong beat (4), or maybe a walts 1;2;3;1,2,3. I'll bet you could cast emotion upon someone by talking, using body language and carrying out everyday tasks to a beat. My advice: start by focusing on one dance a day. I imagine that's how those who are blind see music. Bouncing to the prance of a violinist's dance. Watching an orchestra like a acrobatic act with a strong beat, weak beat and everything inbetween beat. All timed in tune to operate as one. Imagine everyone practicing music in their walks downtown. Learning beats by their speech. Teaching beats with their feet, showing timing with their tongue, in tune with other instruments people or conductors. I wonder what traffic would look like in a world like that.
