Musical Entanglement

Posted by: Minh Nguyen on 10 December 2015

There is a movement of energy within us that could be defined as energy on the verge of becoming matter or matter on the verge of becoming energy. This circulation of energy is an expression of our inner landscape.

Music has the capacity to alter the flow of energy and lead us into varying states of emotional entanglement. The infinite combination of frequencies may resonate in our core to elicit psychosomatic influences. How we feel at a particular moment in time could be determined by a defined movement of energy.

When the flow consumes us we become lost in thought. When it retreats inwards there is much sorrow. When it descends into the depths of oblivion there is fear. When it surges upwards and out of control it becomes anger. When it radiates outwards to caress our extremities we experience elation.

These primary movements may interact to produce quasi-emotional states. The expression of this dynamic relationship could be considered to be reponsible for all known emotional states.

Music has the capacity to refine this delicate flow of energy. Let us be mindful of how music makes us feel. We can start by observing the subtle influences inside us.

I might be tempted but I'm reminded of rule # 134.

Hippy nonsense.

Hi Minh,

I'll have some of what you're taking.

This is the foundations of Chinese Medicine. The Western model of psychology also recognises that there are 5 primary emotions. The mechanism of action is subject to interpretation.

When a piece of music touches us deep inside, there are physiological changes within the body. It could be described in terms of neurotransmitters. It could be described in terms of endocrinology. It could be described as a sensation. I describe it as energy

Hi Steve

A suitable environment to enjoy music is all you need. Regulate the breath and feel yourself relax. Just let go

Well, at the risk of suffering the consequences of rule 134 (here's the link for those who haven't been paying attention), here goes.

Christmas at Downton Abbey arrived today and was duly cued up on the UnitiLite for her listening pleasure. By track three, I was entangled and back in the Church of England choir as a 10-year old lad in Emsworth, where I grew up. The mental images and physical sensation of standing in the front row with the altos behind us, and the church organ behind them were clear. More than that, the feeling of elevation that this music imparts was back in full force. Time travelling through music? You bet.

If you never sang in a choir as a lad, do check out the film Boychoir (on Netflix). While the plot is predictable, the film does capture the ephemeral magic of the pre-pubescent voice.

The choir boys need be apprised of rule #102.

Play some music that feels special to you before letting any one know the ghost.      Ghost just bite your arse - .

You got that right. I'm done with time travelling to Emsworth. Once bitten, one's bitter.

Speaking of ale.

Meanwhile, in Emsworth....

Now if I were still there, we could share one.

I'd forgotten that you once lived here. We are incomers, having been here 'only' 23 years, though Hilary grew up in Havant, three miles away....

We left in '66. Twice the $$$ for my dad in Canada.

I have an infinite amount of Flat Earth Points, for having lived at 33, Record Road.

That's right, I remember. A friend of mine lives in P. G. Wodehouse's old house in Record Road. A great address for a music lover.

Quite. Along with a tube radio at the head of the bed. And BBC Radio plays.
