Sounds of Music or Music of sounds

This week I celebrated my being (no not my birthday) by a day at the spa-wellness. It was a beautiful day and it was quite calm at the resort. So I entered a variety of spa's and sauna's, had a lovely lunch and diner and felt as a king living in pure bliss and wealth.

During the afternoon I could even enjoy the sun and I sat myself down in a garden at one of the far corners of the complex. I was alone and I felt comfortable enjoying the sun, wind and sounds of the birds.

At a certain moment I gazed away for a moment and immediately I woke up again with a picture of a divine lady before my mind's eye. I had no idea who she was. I was surprised and even got more surprised when I suddenly remembered what sounds mentioned to me during my life.
One of my daughters had ear problems for years which influenced her life. My just born granddaughter failed the first hearing test on one ear, and although I can not remember my first moments on earth, I can imagine I had also something going on with sounds.

Then, while hearing the wind and the birds and the nearby waterfall of the thermea, I remembered the days of falling in love. Immediately the different forms of music I loved to hear passed in front of my inner eyes, together with pictures of those days. Slow dancing music, soul, rock and roll, blues, all for the different moods I used to be in, and for the times I was dreaming. Ahhh what a time that was. But is was all for listening. I did not know how to make music, harmonious accords.
I also saw the time when I learned to play the flute, however it was not all about passion.

My minds eye then jumped to the time during my forties. Rough time in hospital gave me lost of emotions to be stored away. And there were already so many. I decided to follow the accreditation course of the Healing Journey. The music they used during the seminars was of a spiritual kind. The experience was quit new: Those sounds and melodies went deep, and they brought every unworked emotion to the surface. What a relief. Again I did not notice at a conscious level what sounds could do with a person, with a person's body. But I did learn to listen to music as something that was beneficial to me.

The next moments were busy with seeing myself buying an african drum. Yes I played that, by heart. The rhythms I produced gave me the feeling to be one with the divine Earth. I never followed any lesson, I just played it and I loved it. Then there were the seminars of Lightwork. The stories and words used in those seminars, together with the music they played brought me further into my journey of life. And life became more and more beautiful.

And now I find myself playing an American Native flute. At 101010 I had the opportunity to buy one in Sedona. I didn't see the opportunity then. The same opportunity arrived here in Holland few months ago where I met a guy who is very familiar with the Sedona area and playing the most wanted flutes manufactured over there. So I bought one, followed a one day workshop with him and now I am playing from the heart, for myself, for nature, for universe, just everything you can think of. And it makes me happy.

I had no idea how much time I was "dreaming" there on that lovely place. Voices came nearer, two visitors of the wellness resort approached. I listened to them with my eyes closed. I felt not disturbed. One person had a kind of singing voice while the other was more like a buzzing one. I smiled. I listened to the birds and heard many differences in their singing. I listened to the wind in the trees. Sometimes the leaves would leave a sound, sometimes there was only wind stroking my ears.

It was a wonderful day I can say. How would you react if you had such a day in a wellness resort with sauna's, bubble baths, massages, sessions with singing bowls, under water music, good food and places to rest and meditate. For me: Heaven on Earth
I wonder if there is a resort that also gives guided meditations? Hahaha there's music in the air.
