Music Lessons In Minneapolis - Music Inside Us

By Hazel Knox


Each one of us has music inside. And it is not an abstract statement, but scientifically proved fact. Molecules of DNA "sound" inside us and it's extremely important if music from outside is in keeping with music inside us.

Scientists pay great attention to studies regarding music's influence on human beings. Attention to such studies has increased lately and their results are fascinating and convincing. For instance, after listening classical music cows have increased their yield of milk and mimosa and petunias have grown more quickly and burst into bloom two weeks earlier. 120 breast-feed moms took part in experiment in Japan. Some women listened classical music, other women listened pop and rock music. In first group, the amount of milk increased in 20 %, and in second group - reduced twice.

Such researches are the attempt to synthesise science and art (music). But in ancient India science and art were regarded as the parts of single creative power. All knowledge of ancient India a person can locate in the Vedas (Holy Indian Scripture) and one of four main Vedas Sama-Veda is completely dedicated to music. In accordance with the Vedas, the creating of the world started from the primordial sound "OM", which appeared while division of the Almighty (Sadashiva) and his creative energy (Adi Shakti). "OM" was the foundation of the universe and the first musical sound.

Human subtle system consists of 7 main chakras (energetic centres) and 3 channels, which rule mental, emotional and physical life activity of person. 7 chakras of our subtle body revolve with some frequency and form an octave, which consists of 7 tones of proper altitude. Intervals in between them ought to reflect intervals between chakras. These tones were called musical sounds - notes ('svars' in Indian music). They sound - sa, re, ga, ma, pa, da, ni and they're in line with chakras - from first till seventh. 5 notes can change (fall and rise), creating five additional sounds (left and right aspects of chakras). Therefore, these notes are built-in subtle body and represent the ideal "repository" of information, the repository of those feelings, emotions, wishes and thoughts, which composer or performer has.

While listening music, an individual gets some influence on subtle level, which later appears on physical body. Same notes can bring destruction or good, it depends upon the inner condition of person. For example, anger, aggression, drug intoxication and so forth, which have power over the mind of composer or musician, will get the reflection in his music. There are some styles and forms in music which reflect only such bad qualities. Such music may do harm not just the musician, but also an individual who listen to it. Clear, inspired people, who've lucid mind will never create such music. They produced only folk music with fantastic variety and classical music which has its roots in folk music.

Let's listen to music, that is in line with music inside us.
