Time Out With Mindful Harp Music

By Richard Howard


Whether listened to on compact disc or having a live version playing in the background, nothing beats the sounds that this instrument can create. Mindful harp music just has that effect on a person and sounds like mountain river water cascading whilst meandering down the mountainside. Some have it playing in their stores and others take it a step further to unwind completely which sometimes is not easily accomplished without it.

The mind can have millions of thoughts running through it from images to plenty of other thoughts that come in and out of it. It is time to quieten it down with a meaningful exercise that one can practice every day of the week and month. It allows the practitioner time to unwind and just be whilst practicing an art that has been around for centuries.

By giving oneself half an hour of the day to focus on oneself, it is a time that can be used to bring the body back into a state of rest. To do this one must make sure there is not distractions and this means cellular phones turned off and ensuring that one will not be disturbed at all. It is best to lay down on one's back and get as comfortable as possible whilst doing this exercise.

One can sit or better yet lay down on a comfortable surface and get comfortable. The time period initially can be about half an hour and once used to this time one can increase it as required. Whilst laying down, preferably on the back, breathe deeply slowly and rhythmically whilst also being aware of exhaling just as slowly.

This helps to unwind and should be continued for about five minutes giving the body and mind a chance to settle down. Continue to do just this and start being aware of the tension that is felt in all parts of the body. With the music playing softly try to picture what is going through the mind whilst not trying to fight the myriad of thoughts and images flowing through it.

It is best to allow the mind to wander and then try picturing something and keeping it in the mind's eye. This may seem difficult to do at first as the picture may be replaced by another image or thought. It is advisable to keep trying to return to the picture that one is imagining but not to fight for it to stay there.

During this time one can also start to be aware of the tension felt in different parts of the body. Feel the tension relieve itself as one drifts deeper and deeper into a relaxing state. It is important to keep as still as possible whilst doing this exercise and to drift into a deeper state of consciousness.

Doing meaningful exercises such as this goes a long way in improving the way one feels about oneself. The harp is a great instrument and its music divine. There is no better place to start relaxing than with it.
