Creating Heaven on Earth
Last night Clayton and I watched a DVD sent to us from a friend in Germany.
It’s a marvelous Oscar-nominated Swedish movie called ‘As it is in Heaven’. The story revolves around a world-famous conductor whose concerts are booked eight years in advance.
Can you imagine every day of your life being booked nearly a decade ahead of time? I feel tense just thinking picturing the calendar of such a person. Not surprisingly, the stress of the conductor’s grueling schedule forces him to suddenly retire due to bad health.
Faced with a completely open schedule, he decides to return to the village of his birth. Soon he takes on the job of Cantor in the small parish church.
Well this little post forces him to completely re-invent his approach to making music. He undergoes a tremendous transformation while teaching his small group of amateurs singers about moving their bodies and - most importantly - listening to each other.
For weeks, not even one melody is sung. The singers vocalize and play with sound. Soon, what was previously seen as work turns into delightful practice. Every character wakes up and discovers their inner voice.
What caused the major shift in consciousness?
At one point during a rehearsal, the conductor says to his little group, “We are here to listen. Music surrounds us all, and our job is only to open our ears to it.”
So how do you know if you have heard it?
You are moved. Your soul is stirred. You feel a lovely sensation in your heart. And you feel blessed.
Whether you are creating the music or hearing it, makes no difference – as long as you breathe deeply and listen. Take the sounds on any of the five ‘Secret Power of Words and Music’ CDs - The Secret Power of Words and Music - no matter where you are and what you’re doing, they’ll inspire and uplift you.
So, next time you want to relax, turn off the all stressful sounds and listen to magical, calming high frequency music.
Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French
P.S. The DVD ‘As it is in Heaven’ can only be played on multi-region DVD players, which will play movies from any region in the world. If you have one, you are in for a beautiful treat. Enjoy.
