Some people who make art consider it a spiritual practice. For them, it’s more than just a fun activity. It’s a way to express who they are while connecting with something profound deep within them. Being creative allows them to venture into their mind and soul, forming a vital connection that many people are sadly […]

Creativity Feeds the Soul
Credit: meaningfullife.com I think creativity and the transformation of consciousness have more in common than most people think. My fellow creative minds probably know what I mean, and we feel like something’s missing if we aren’t hard at work. It’s as if creativity feeds the soul. Writers don’t feel complete if they don’t write every […]

Music: The Language of Spirit – Part 5
I don’t know about any of you, but for me, music doesn’t get really good until I play continuously. It’s a great way to uplift the spirit no matter how much we play, but to get the most out of it, it seems like we have to stay dedicated enough to keep practicing until we […]
Music: The Language of Spirit – Part 4

Music: The Language of Spirit – Part 3
We’ve learned a lot from Sri Chinmoy about music’s spiritual value so far, and one of the things we’ve learned is that we can become a musical conduit for the expression of our spirituality if we remember to center our music on spirit. Music is arguably the best way to express our spirituality and our […]
Keep Loving – a Universal Love Song
When I see this on Youtube, I can’t help thinking that I’m watching the world changing. It may not be an instantaneous thing, but the wave of love is penetrating the world and this music is both a sign and an invitation for these ideas to spread even further. Especially in the pop music scene, […]
Music: The Language of Spirit – Part 2
Credit: Onedurango.com There’s a lot more to be said about the spiritual benefits of music than we covered in part one, and we’ll continue our discussion here.

Yes, Music Is a Form of Meditation
Credit: Mariomorataya.tumblr.com I’ve been saying for a while that I think music is one of the most spiritual things we can do, and I’ll always stand by that opinion. I have people like the Marley family to thank for this profound realization, and through their music, they’ve helped me see that we can use this […]
Nahko Bear (Medicine for the People): Aloha Ke Akua Sacred Music Video with Lyrics
I’m so inspired by this music. In this ten minute video I felt my feelings being taken through all whole range of wonder and passion. It’s impressive and also very beautiful. In the veritable ocean of musical offerings out there, this is, in my opinion, on the cutting edge of what’s spiritually moving and inspiring. […]
