Music as a tool to release energetic blockages

I'm havin' a cup o' tea next to the river

An older lady stopped and had a chat to me while busking at the IGA yesterday and she told me she was a jazz singer. So we got on a bit and I asked her to sing for me. She didn't know any of my songs so she sang some scat ('da doo da doo da-s') for me over top of a jazzy chord progression and it was awesome. She left the experience full of energy, like when people don't know how to contain themselves, all bubbly and such.

Love to do that to people, fill them up!

A beautiful spanish girl came and sang with me at the farmer's markets the day before, extremely shy but looking for a way to participate, and with a little time and some guidance got her to break through a barrier to sing in public... I bumped into her for coffee later and she was very thankful for the experience of releasing that blockage describing it as a block in the solar plexus to the heart. This is what music is about for me, opening people up and giving them the opportunity to feel themselves in music.

Music is an energetic healing practice just like reiki or similar energy work methods. When we remove elitism from music and be open for participation, the musician is a magician, a wielder of life changing frequencies - the great work of music is a shamanistic art.
