40. Power of Music to Relax
I’m going to tell a secret here that only a few people know. Sometimes, when I go to a concert, I tell the person I’m with, “I may fall sleep. If I do, wake me up gently ONLY if I’m snoring or making some other odd noise. Otherwise, let me sleep.”
Now it’s not that I’m intentionally rude. It’s that I know that I may become delightfully relaxed and it will be a wonderful, wonderful sleep.
I also totally believe that in that sleep, I will not miss a note of the music. It will seep into my breathing, be absorbed into my bones, and will delight my ears. For music has that power—to relax you and to fill you up with its vibration, its melodies, and its dynamics.
If you’re at the same concert, come on over and sit with me and we’ll “listen” together.
