May 4. Choose your music wisely.

Select music for its pleasing or uplifting melody, rhythm, and harmony. A melody can do more than entertain: it can uplift; it can fill you with longing; or, alternatively, it can depress you. A rhythm can calm, invigorate, or disturb the nervous system. Harmony can evoke deep, calm feelings of peace, love, and happiness, or incite to anger, haunt with loneliness, torment with anxiety. Choose your music wisely, for its influence on you can be deep. A woman once tried to commit suicide. She had a near-death experience in which she found herself in a hellish region where the vibrations, as she reported later, were very similar to the beat of heavy rock ’n’ roll music. Later, she devoted her life to warning people against the insidious influence of such self-lowering music.Support the show
