WHAT CAN YOU HEAR?

Emotional Recalibration To Therapeutically Empower You Through Life's Toughest Challenges
??It’s curious to see people bopping away to the sound of music you’re unable to hear, or indeed three different tracks played simultaneously but everyone dancing together, regardless.
??There is a silent singing hen party group outing in Covent Garden. I’m not sure if that is exactly what it is, but to the uninitiated, having seen it once or twice, I assume some enterprising dude has created an insane idea for a themed excursion. It involves the participants wearing headphones and sharing the same tunes, while aimlessly wandering about Seven Dials.
??I love seeing the girls all dolled up WAG style; pantomime cow eyelashes, fake tan, ridiculous shoes, and seasonally inappropriate dresses, with headphones on, walking along while singing loudly, and without a care in the world, seemingly having the best time. It’s great to see happy women having fun; laughing, crying, crying, laughing.
??Silent discos or even walkabout singalongs are indeed genius and fascinating. I suppose they rely on the participant being fully absorbed in the sounds coming into their ears, so much so, that they temporarily forget they are in a public place, and they just do what comes naturally; dance to the music that lights them up, or sing to the music that sets them free.
But -
??While it is definitely that, It’s so much more than that. Through the transformative power of music, participants’ heightened awareness of their current shared connection allows them to feel a sense of safety, so they let go of inhibitions. It is a tribal vibration. It’s that feeling when you are in total energetic synergy with everyone around you at a rock concert, or a football match, or in a place of worship.
??Anyway, it led me to thinking about the headphones we wear in our own lives. What do we do, with the noise? Do we cover up sounds we don’t want to hear, or distract ourselves with some other sounds instead? Do we play the same sound, word, or phrase on repeat, essentially subconsciously, but now you’re aware of it, and it’s starting to bother you? Are we shutting sounds in, or out? Do we drown one noise out, over another?
??What happens if we turn down all the volume?
??All the volume.
??Including the sounds in our own head. The most challenging noise to turn down.
??Do you sometimes think it's too difficult to turn the noise down?

??But not impossible. Not when you know how.
??Many of these sounds coming in are distorting, taking bandwidth, and disturbing your peace. If you can’t get the sounds out your head, it becomes really difficult to focus on a new tune, or a thought or idea. See how hard it is to create and move forward like that? What if, you could experience the blissful calm of whatever it is you imagine that sound to be, but now you are so far off, you can’t even remember what it should even sound like.
If you want to start,
All you have to do is focus on what you love ?
Keep doing that.
That’s it, that’s how you start.
I coach you to recalibrate your emotions so that you can have better business and personal relationships ??+??= ??
I use psycho education, meditation, visualisation both in and out of trance and, where legal, plant medicine, but most of all, I use my wisdom, and that which I cannot explain

7 个月This reminds me a little of dancing like no one is watching. On the question about putting earbuds in muting out sounds. I like to do this sometimes to zone out from the world and either focus on the music or audiobook. It could also help my mood in getting into my workout, and not thinking too much about reps. It could even help to relax me and put me on another level. I like listening to classical music when I'm in a traffic jam, as I feel less stressed.
