Day 7: Moving Your Head and Heart with Music
In this present moment, act as if you could be part of co - creating
anything you want in your life. Remove your blinders and any veil
limiting your vision; relax the critical mind, and encourage the right
brain and the creative, intuitive truth within. You may want to buy
the Healing at the Roots : Songs of Renewal CD that was produced
to accompany this book, or download some head - and heart - opening
music to your mp3 player or hard drive. Some tried - and - true ones
we use here at the program are “ I Believe I Can Fly ” (R. Kelly), “ It ’ s
in Everyone of Us ” (David Pomerantz), “ You Raise Me Up ” (Josh
Groban), and “ Be Ye Glad ” (Michael Kelly Blanchard). Any song
that stimulates your head and heart to expand is helpful.
Julee Glaub Weems and her husband, Mark Weems, a duo
known as Little Windows, have collaborated with me to produce
Healing at the Roots , inspired and appropriately named to comple-
ment this book. It is full of heart - , head - , and spirit - connecting
traditional Celtic and American music. Check it out at www
. ricedietstore.com or http://www.littlewindows.net. Purchasing this CD
from either site is recommended for those interested in reading the
liner notes, background information, and song lyrics, which will
further help you to realize the full potential of inviting all of your
senses to the healing experience.
After listening to an inspiring song or two, start to journalize on
whatever comes to your mind. Depending on your musical choices
and your present internal emotional state, you may choose to write
on the top fi ve things that you most want in your life. If that is
the case, “ I Believe I Can Fly ” will certainly inspire and encourage
you. On the other hand, you may be in the midst of processing
grief, sorrow, loneliness, or loss and need your hope deepened and
enriched by listening to Little Windows ’ “ Queen of the Night, ”
“ Blue Hills of Why, ” and “ Healer of My Soul. ” Tune into yourself
