om_mandalaPeople often question me about the music played in their sessions. They ask why I play tracks with a language that is not English, because they cannot understand the lyrics?
That is precisely the point! In other blogs and posts, I have included the quote:
“That which is closest to silence, in by being able to express in inexpressible, is sound”.
If that sound is just musical instruments, all well and good. However, if there is a song with a singer, the song selected (by myself intuitively) is usually in a generally foreign language.
As long as the mind is unable to decipher lyrics, it is not able to produce a “story” and publish it to you within your Sonique’s session. A story from the mind would be its way of stopping you from experiencing more of reality, more of you that is the human being. If you engage in listening to the mind’s “story” regarding its interpretation of the song’s lyrics, you are effectively compromised from exploring your inner self. The mind does not wish to allow you to surrender to your inner self, as it is a threat to its control and survival.
In actual fact, interpretation of the song’s lyrics may be way off from the original author’s intention, so that the story becomes a derived story, highly subjective.
So, if I select a song and the lyrics are in French, all well and good, because there are a reasonably small percentage of clients that will interpret it subjectively. Mostly, the song that is sung will be observed as just sound alone, allowing surrender deeper and deeper.
Some of the most appropriate songs selectable are in Sanskrit, ancient Indian, and have balanced ying and yang vibration, most condusive to a balanced meditative state, but there are others available to choose.
