Music

I have heard it said music is the language of the heart. I find that music really does speak to me on an energetic level. Many of you have mentioned that music helps you be creative or confident or healed. When I prepare for a role, I try to find the music that the character is playing in his head. We all have a theme song that plays in our head that informs us of how to be. It is amazing the power of knowing that you can change your own theme song just by choosing to listen to a different station! As mentioned in the new tutorial up on the Fan Contribution page, music is a powerful tool for creating a state of mind. When you approach a task, ask yourself what state would most help in this situation. Confidence? Understanding? Explosive Power? Calm? And what is your theme song for creating that particular state?

As I mentioned in a previous blog about music, I find that movie soundtracks speak to me. I love the winning music of Rocky, or the mysterious music of Meet Joe Black. I am a big fan of Mahler and Prokofiev from early last century as well. Sometimes I'm inspired by the music of nature or the din of the city and other times I just like some good old rock and roll.




(Here I am with a rock band Red 7 I use to sing with in the early 90's. L-R that's me, Kevin, Jamie, and Mark)

So what theme songs do you choose for the states you create in life?
