What You Think and Say Is What You Are

Do you know what describes you more than anything else. The words you think and speak.

This morning, while I was exercising, the phone rang. Something inside propelled me to answer the call. I don’t usually take a call while I’m in the middle of a workout.

Turns out it was a guy I had met a few months ago at a meeting and had emailed with a question about nutrition. He decided to give me the answer by phone. We instantly connected. I could FEEL this man’s positive vibration emanating through my phone. His voice told me exactly what state of mind he was in. We talked for a long time about all sorts of stuff. I didn’t mind the interruption to my workout in the least.

What a great reminder. What you think and say carries a vibration, which everyone, including you, feels and responds to.

For example, if a friend of yours uses the words ‘I’m afraid I can’t come for dinner tonight,’ even though she’s probably not literally scared - by using the word ‘afraid’, she reveals much about her emotional and mental state at that moment.

Your thoughts are the sounds of life. Sound travels. What’s important to remember is - you can CONTROL those thoughts. You can get rid of negative thoughts.

Using the words ‘I’m afraid I can’t make it’ means there is confusion. Like thinking one thing and feeling another. There’s an internal battle. Why not say instead, ‘I have another commitment, but I’d like to get together another time.’ Those words are clear, unambiguous and aren’t sending mixed emotional messages.

The words ‘I’m afraid I can’t …’ seem to be used out of context, though if you ask me, words are always used IN context whether we realize it or not.

What’s more, there’s the SOUND of your voice to consider. I can tell instantly whether I want to talk to someone or not – like with person calling me earlier this morning. Within a second or two the inflection, tone and intent of a person’s state mind can be picked up from his or her voice.

Put some other words to the test. Feel their vibrations. I think you’ll be surprised and delighted. Even shocked. I guarantee you’ll be much more selective about which thoughts to allow and which ones to eliminate.

Give your mind only good, inspired vibrations. Go and discover the secret power behind positive words and music.

Warm Regards,

How This Lady Makes A Difference

Two days after we returned from Scotland, our 5-year-old Claire started pre-school. At least that WAS the plan.

During opening day ceremonies, Claire kept asking me if she could meet Mary Virginia, head teacher for the K-2 classroom. That’s kindergarten through second grade. Every few minutes she would say, "Mommy I want to meet Mary Virginia."

So I took her. Before I knew it, Claire asked if she could change classes.

We initially placed her in pre-school because she’s been at home up until now. Our idea – start her on 3 days a week and school her in gradually. But Claire had other plans that first day.

What attracted her to Mary Virginia.

The vibration in the classroom. This woman is renowned for her positive discipline approach. She exudes warmth AND positive authority. She tells beautiful stories about Merlin and King Arthur and weaves all subjects from math to science to writing and drawing around the day’s story line. Her voice is mellifluous – fluid and very expressive. No monotony here.

Of equal importance is that she handles every challenge calmly and firmly. In short, Mary Virginia is a gem.

I know, because on day two last week we experimented with Claire attending K-2 instead of pre-school. I was in the classroom, way in the back, all day. On the sidelines to gauge Claire’s readiness.

Then I noticed, when it came time to eat snack and lunch, another magical thing happened. Instead of saying ‘Grace,’ Mary Virginia sang a beautiful song about it. Once she began, all the kids quieted down. It was wonderful to watch.

As for Claire, she’s rising to the challenge. She has a steep learning curve – having never been in a same-age social environment on a daily basis. Main thing is she’s very happy. To the point of wanting to go to school on Saturdays and Sundays as well…

I attribute this to the strength and peace of mind her teacher and her assistant Edie exhibit – all day and without exception.

And guess what music Mary Virginia plays in her classroom? Peaceful and calm classical and meditation music. In fact, she just added the music from The Secret Power of Words and Music to her collection. Yes, these CDs are being played in classrooms all around the country.

Fancy that, a teacher who understands, no, who KNOWS, positively charged music balances our brain’s hemispheres and stimulates creativity and joy. There’s no better environment for learning than that.

So get your 5 CD package today. And don’t forget to play the music to your kids and grandkids!

Is Classical Music Beautiful?

Today I’m grabbing a question from the mailbag. Here’s an email that threw me for a loop when I first read it.

“Hi Tania,

“I like music a lot. I'm an amateur musician, I play in Russian balalaika orchestras, and I play Old Time American & Irish folk music - jigs & reels & such.

“I'm in my late 40's, and believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever heard classical music called "beautiful"! People either love it or hate it, but even by the people who love it, I have never heard it called "beautiful" before. Wow. The thought is startling. I would never have put classical and beautiful in the same sentence before. I have tried many times to like classical music, but it's like asparagus. I just can't. In fact, I find it dark and depressing. Ya just can't dance to it.

“sorry...

‘Would you mind in a future article explaining what "high frequency" means. I tend to think of music as a progression of many frequencies, not just high ones. Do you just mean music with violins, fiddles, flutes & piccolos in it.”

Thanks.

Thank you for your candid email, Suzanne. It actually brought a smile to my face. My whole life I’ve been surrounded by people who loved classical music because of its beauty.

You bring up a very important point – beauty for one person may be horse p… for another. Okay, I got the message. I will tell you though, there is some amazing dance music from the renaissance and baroque periods, which is based on folk songs. Like the Gigue, Gavotte, Menuet and Rigaudon.

Much of this music is derived from English Country Dance, a social folk dance dating back to the 16th century. Of course there’s also the Waltz King, Johann Strauss, whose dances are as joyful as can be. Tchaikovsky’s Ballets, like ‘The Nutcracker’ have some beautiful music to dance to. Not to mention dances by Mozart, Gluck, Mendelssohn’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’, Borodin’s ‘Polovtsian Dances,’ Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances, and Brahms’ ‘Hungarian Dances.’

As for high frequencies - have you ever entered a room that has a weird or uncomfortable feeling about it. You just might be feeling low frequency sound waves.

The lowest of those are called infrasound. They’re produced by machines such as vehicles, household equipment and heating and cooling systems. It’s been known for some time that these low frequency waves can cause symptoms such as nausea, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, vibration of internal organs and a feeling of oppression.

On the other hand, certain high frequency sounds literally energize your mind. Scientists have found that sounds from 5,000 to 8,000 hertz recharge your brain’s batteries. They are made by musical notes that are higher. Violins, flutes, oboes, pianos, harps and clarinets make them – but so do the higher ranges in cellos, horns, bassoons, and saxophones.

If your CD collection includes music by Mozart, Baroque Music or Tibetan Chants, keep listening. This is the ultimate high frequency music. In numerous studies, these sounds have been found to charge the cortex of the brain and stimulate health and wellness.

At 120-125 hertz you begin to hear the kick drums and bass guitar common to rock and pop music. These lower frequencies produce the opposite effect - they drain us.

Why is this?

Because they have wavelengths longer than we are tall, which is why lower frequencies are FELT as well as heard. You can feel this low frequency full-body sensation at dance clubs and rock concerts. Or from listening to most FM radio stations.

Since most people are exposed to low frequency sounds on a daily basis, it’s important to balance your brain and body by listening to high frequency, positively charged music. Get the ultimate 5 CD package – The Secret Power of Words and Music.
