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.

There are ways to calm down such as deep breathing and a form of meditation that one can practice at home in a quiet tranquil setting. Having music such as this playing at the same time allows one to unwind and totally relax. The way to go about this is quite simple and does not have to entail taking a course to accomplish a meaningful relaxation period as part of the day.

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.

There are so many things that can distract a person whether it be worrying about work problems or even relationships. Toning things down a bit can give one a clearer perspective and with it, solutions often come better to a person when they are relaxed. Having harp music playing facilitates this and is often used in Doctor's rooms and other medical facilities not to mention the amazing effect it has when used in the workplace.

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.

It is quite easily accomplished. Doing this is empowering. It leaves one in a stress free state ready to tackle anything that the day has to offer.
