Music is Life Podcast

Music is Life is an exploration of the intersection between music, awareness, and both the inner and outer aspects of this journey we call Life. We'll explore how music can be an outer expression of our inner experiences, as well as how playing, writing, and listening to music can become a doorway to a deeper place inside of ourselves. Come join the exploration and please share your experiences, ideas, and of course, music!

    Episode 6 - Music Is A Portal Into Inner Experience

    Check out all the songs and info for this episode on the podcast page. In this episode of the Music is Life podcast we look at the magical ability of music to take us from the outer form of sound to the inner formless realm of experience.  We’ll explore how the creation of music and the experience of listening to music are ways in which the formless awareness and physical form interplay with each other. Here’s some snippets of what’s in this episode: Music is like a portal into inner experience: The music is the doorway you can see, and the inner experience is the formless that you cannot see The music we listen to and create reflects our inner state at a given moment in time. Different styles of music indicate different inner states of mind Throughout history different styles of music have been expressions of the experiences of those people (American roots blues, romanticism in Europe, electronic music, music of 60’s and 70’s, neo soul, etc.) By hearing the forms of the sounds of these types of music, we tap into the formless element of their inner experiences ______ The intro and ending music for this episode is “Here’s to Peace” by Transformation Earth (used with permission). Also be sure to take a listen to the song I mention in this episode, “Too Much Heaven” by the BeeGees.

    Episode 3 - Limitless Possibilities

    Check out all the songs and info for this episode on the podcast website. As human beings, we have so many possibilities. With the recent launch of spaceship Unity 22 by Virgin Galactic, a whole new world of possibility has opened up for average people like you and me to be able to travel into space and see our beautiful earth from a whole new perspective.  This event, as well as some music I have recently heard, has inspired this episode. We'll explore how our minds allow us to create anything we want, and from this formless place within we can take inspiration and transform it into something that can be seen and heard (or traveled inside of!)  by others. We’ll see how the challenges we go through can lead to new possibilities that we never thought of before, and perhaps even begin to question who we really are. Come join the exploration and please share your experiences, ideas, and of course, music!  You can send in a written response or record your response and send it in as an audio file.
