Spirituality and Health Promotion Behaviors #12: Music


The only thing that can send a shiver down the spine without fear is good music. Most of us would know this universal language. It speaks to us in a way we cannot explain. It is thus important for our well-being to listen to good music.

Like our choice of food, our preference for music varies with our tastes. I may like jazz while you prefer pop. Yet like diet, we should be discerning in the music we fill our minds with. It is more uplifting to listen to clear compositions and positive lyrics than to be drown in noise and depressing verses.

If you have the opportunity to do so, learn a musical instrument. It adds a unique touch to our personalities and gives us a means to express ourselves where words fail us. Just singing in the shower can also help to rejuvenate our cluttered minds and inject timeless beauty into our lives.
