Playlists for our Lives

What music helps you dance into life’s magic moments?

What if? What if everything is energy? What if music is energy? What music comprises the playlists of your life? What music cradles you, sits with you in your deepest sadness, dances with you in joy-filled moments, and inspires you to move? What were the playlists of key moments in your life ~ your childhood, key relationships, major triumphs and losses? What music draws you back to those moments regardless of how much time has passed? What music helps you experience, feel, and release energy within you?

Try to Remember carries me back to a sweet and ordinary evening when I was about five and my dad danced with me as he sang the lyric “Try to remember the kind of September…” He told me he loved that song because I was born in September. Many years later, his heart took its final beat as Sinead O’Connor sang the Prayer of St. Francis. In a perfectly imperfect way, he aspired to live the message of that prayer. On the other end of the energy spectrum, Shut Up and Dance with Me is a favorite on my workout playlist taking me back to a magic moment — dancing with my cousins and their kids at a family wedding as they spun me around the dance floor in my wheelchair. Scars to Your Beautiful is also on my workout playlist, inspiring me to share my heart’s love, compassion, and light with a soul sister who is healing from body issues wounds. Finally, I recently learned about Shea Diamond and shared her Seen it All with a friend who is due for a miracle after experiencing a life altering injury. Music is the energy connecting us to our life’s journeys and reminding us of our inherent bonds and shared heart.

How could music help you thrive? What playlists could you make to inspire you to realize your highest vision and goals this year? What is the song you need most today? What song could help you connect with someone about whom you are thinking and sending care? What song could your heart carry to someone who has passed?

I invite you to use consciously music to feed your body, mind, and spirit. Create playlists for any key intention you desire to create and for poignant experiences in your life. Doesn’t your life deserve an amazing soundtrack?
