Music and Meditation

Written by John Moses Freeman

Music and Meditation

~A Mozart symphony to soothe one’s soul,
meditation’s friend is good music’s blend.
 ~Quiets minds considerably so I’m told,
good music and vacation is man's friend.

~Meditations and soothing music relates,
put on a good record, do yoga stance.
~Drives out bad manners, bad spirits vacate,
bad thoughts of one’s mind, like ants in the pants!

For and in honor of Dr Ram
And contest: Music and Meditation

Good, creative write. Music (various forms) means a lot to me, as it does to many people.

The combination of soothing music and meditation enhance the benefits of yoga so much, John. Some of the most spiritual people I know meditate daily. Excellent quatrain for Dr. Ram's contest and I'm sending you winning wishes. I'm out of town fishing until after Easter -- returning home May 4. Have an EKG May 5. Have a wonderful Easter, my friend! Love you, Carolyn
