SADE: SOUND THERAPY




The end is where I'll begin.

I left the Sade concert feeling I had been healed. It was as if Sade was a medicine woman who laid hands on me and instantly cured me. Well, in fact, she did magically heal me but not with her hands - but with the sound of her melodic, captivating voice. I came for music and I got the most prodigious elements that music has to offer; I received sound therapy.

The universe is vibrating. The earth is vibrating. Your body is vibrating. Everything is in constant motion and these waves produce sound frequencies. A person who is sick vibrates at a rate at a lower rate than a person with good health. There are instruments that can enhance your health and bring your frequency back into alignment like crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, harps, and chimes.


Sade single handedly balanced the harmony of every soul in Philips arena. Her angelic energy was so peaceful you could see it was an effortless gift she was born to share. It was a mixed salt and pepper crowd - from young to old. Her sound does not discriminate and exemplifies a "one world" appearance.


She opend the show singing "Soldier of love," and for the first time I felt a deep connection to it. It caught me off guard as it seemed like it was the first time I actually listend to the lyrics:



I am a soldier of love,

all the days of my life...

I am love's soldier

I wait for the sound

I know that love will come

turn it all around


I waited for the sound and now I'm blessed. It's safe to say that I am now a self proclaimed soldier of love. It's the alpha and the omega; love that is. I was so caught up in the rapture of all of the lyrics in her songs after that moment. I felt different. Somehow I knew a block within my heart was opened.


When sade sang, "Is it a crime," I was standing at attention because I remembered from her live concert on DVD that the note she hits at the end of the song would always send the most magical shivers up my spine; energy work at its finest. So I stood there singing and trying to stay in the moment but I couldn't help but wonder if she was going to go for gusto and hit that note. She didn't disappoint me. She belted out the note and like a water spout the energy rushed up my spine. I knew this therapy had cured me for a lifetime and all I could offer in return was my sincere gratitude. "Thank you, thank you, thank you," I chanted.


At the end of the show, I was revived from my trance by the house lights but the effect the show had on me will never be forgotten.


Other highlights:


  • Sweetback, that's one sweet ass band!

  • The encore: wow, did she really get on that small platform and lifted several feet into the air? Beautiful!

  • The art director get's many kudos for creating the "experience

HOW CONTROLING YOUR THOUGHTS WILL MANIFEST YOUR LIFE PASSIONS

Are you thinking your thoughts or are your thoughts thinking you? Chances are it's the latter. We don't even realize we're thinking something until it's already crept up on us and spinning its own scenario's and conclusions. Most of us didn't learn when we were growing up how precious and volatile thoughts are and that we actually needed to train our minds what to think and how long to hold onto each thought.

Thoughts travel faster than light and instantly send out a vibration to actualize those thoughts. We are living in the mind of God so exercising the power of our microcosmic mind is vital. The problem is we aren't using our minds to its full potential by holding onto our thoughts long enough to bring them to life. Researchers are now saying that the average human has around 70,000 thoughts a day, each thought lasting about 1.2 seconds long. Yep, only 1.2 seconds long. It seems like we're all schizophrenic or ADD prone at the least. As technology speeds up, we are doing more in less time and it’s causing our brains to lose receptivity to our souls.

We brag about being multi-takers but that is distracting us from actualizing our passions. We should be bragging about being able to hold onto one thought. Imagine a day of just one thought...If you're a city dweller like me that probably sounds far fetched because so many details are incorporated into our fast-paced day. as absurd as it may sound, I was watching a video (find the link below) that says humans used to have about 6,000 thoughts a day, each thought lasting six seconds long. Sound more doable? Again, the point is that the longer we hold onto a thought, the greater the chances of it manifesting.

THOUGHT SHOULD HAVE PURPOSE
THOUGHT SHOULD BE POSITIVE
AND
YOU SHOULD BE CONSCIOUS OF YOUR THOUGHTS

Also, meditation is a great way to clear your mind so the thoughts you're supposed to focus on can come to the forefront.

Ideally you should start your day meditating and then create a list of thought intentions so when your mind wanders and runs rampant you can return your focus to one of your thought intentions.

You are creating your world with your thoughts (conscious and unconscious alike) so you may as well create the world you want!

Namaste
