Meditation Is Music
MEDITATION IS MUSIC
The raga’s minor keys flood my mind, unlocking a balancing shiver, pranayama and Om,
Its rhythmic tones in harmonic relation, echoing season and day,
Draw out tension and sadness in tear-stained sitar notes.
Music is me, I am music. Meditation makes music from my body’s rhythmic processes.
So, let a semi quaver ease my quivering and bring harmony to my spirit -
On moonlit evenings an Arabic ney-flute draws out laughter and joy, relieves stress,
While a droning tambura subtly, sympathetically infiltrates my nervous system.
And the Pastoral lifts my chin to tomorrow, my body re-charged, re-tuned.
