Music is a powerful tool composed of melody, harmony & rhythm. I believe rhythm is the “heartbeat” of not just music, but of life itself, and has great power. I recommend listening to music every day, especially music with a beat that will make you get up and dance.
You can learn more about rhythm by drumming. Everyone knows how to clap along to a song. That’s drumming. If you can clap your hands you’re already a drummer. Since you are already a drummer, why not practice that more, and become a better drummer? Becoming a better drummer will give you an on demand skill of turning on the pure ecstatic joy faucet of your life.
Drumming is dancing with your hands, then your entire body, and eventually your heart. It will bring joy to your life.
I’ve started to think about combining my interest in music & my interest in meditation. I’m working on something I’m currently calling “dhamma songs”. I’ve built a radio station that broadcasts 24/7 and allows you listen whenever you need the magic of music, with a dhamma twist.
If you’d rather listen to these songs on YouTube you can use my Dhamma Songs Playlist. Maybe even put that playlist on shuffle. One of the reasons I have a radio station is YouTube plays commercials, and by building my own radio station I am able to play music for you with no commercials. In addition, on my radio station I’m ale to make a better mix than I believe YouTube can, even when you use their “shuffle” feature.
To better share the stream, I’ve decided to create a new website with a different domain (URL), NutleyLife.NET that is easier (especially for those living in town) to spell & pronounce than my name. If I’m going to share a site, other than adding a link to it at the bottom of my emails, it should be a URL that is not hard for the average person to remember how to spell and pronounce, right? 😃
Here are songs I did not created, but enjoy, and you can listen to on Google Music.
