Can you feel the good vibrations?


I think we all know that music makes us feel better. And better than listening passively to music, is actually makeing the music yourself. Singing, humming, whistling, playing an instrument or dancing to music. They all make us feel better. Why? Well, there are lots of reasons from brain chemicals being released to the vibrations that massage our bodies from the inside out! Next time to listen to some favorite music or make it yourself, put your hands on your forehead, your cheeks, the back of your head or arms and legs. Can you feel the good vibrations?? I'll bet you can!

What about the chanting at the Bowl Games?



What is your definition of chant? Many people think automatically of Buddhist chant, Gregorian chant, or Native American chant. But guess what, the "cheers" that fans chant at sports events are also a type of chant. They fit the definition: "chant is a positive statement repeated over ad over in a rhythmic fashion for the purpose of raising energy for a group or an individual." Can you imagine going to a sporting event that didn't have cheerleaders and fans jumping up and screaming and yelling to encourage the players to play their best and win one for their team? Can you imagine how boring it would be without a pep band? Think about it! It's yet another form of vibrational healing.
