Meditation With Mindful Harp Music

By Richard Howard


It can be played on compact disc or if more fortunate listened to at a live concert. Mindful harp music is absolutely awesome when wanting to unwind and sounds like running river water flowing down a river of pebbles. This is an image that can be brought to mind whilst relaxing and wanting to completely unwind.

There are various ways in order to relax and some of them are touched upon here. From meditation to deep tissue massage and hypnosis, this type of music plays an important role in reducing stress and leave one feeling as relaxed as can be. Therapists in the alternative medicine industry and even professional doctors have this playing in their surgeries or consultation rooms for that calming effect.

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.

One can sit or better yet lay down on a comfortable surface and get comfortable. The time period initially can be about half an hour and once used to this time one can increase it as required. Whilst laying down, preferably on the back, breathe deeply slowly and rhythmically whilst also being aware of exhaling just as slowly.

One will be amazed at the millions of thought processes that are going on. From flashing images and other thoughts, try to picture a letter of the alphabet with a backdrop of white light. This helps slow the mind down whilst trying to keep this image in the mind's eye. One must not be concerned if one cannot maintain the image for a long period of time when it is replaced by other thoughts but must calmly bring it back into focus when one can.

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 something that one should work into one's regimen for the week as many go through life often not allowing themselves to tone down and just be. Try keeping still throughout the entire exercise and if this is hard to do, just concentrate on the playing. This will divert one's focus to a different focal point whilst allowing the body to relax.

It is something one can do daily and work it into a busy and hectic lifestyle. If music be the food of love, play on as once coined by Shakespeare. It is definitely worth a try and something that can be incorporated into a busy lifestyle in order to give that better quality to life.
