Transforming Lives One Note at a Time — Chapter One: You Are Not Your Mind

In this episode of Afterbath, Mat shares Chapter One from his upcoming book Transforming Lives One Note at a Time. This reflection explores the inner voice — the constant mental commentary that judges, compares, and tells us we’re not good enough, especially when learning music, singing, or trying something new. You’ll hear why music is not a competition, not a performance, and not a measure of your worth — but simply an experience of sound, presence, and awareness. The episode closes with a six-minute Christmas Sound Bath preview to help settle the body and quiet the mind. 🎄 For the full one-hour Christmas Sound Bath experience: 👉 https://youtu.be/qnOQvPCa-z8Music Is Medicine is a podcast by Mat Creedon — a musician, sound practitioner, and multi-instrumentalist from Melbourne, Australia. In each episode, Mat explores the deeper relationship between music, emotion, and the human nervous system. Through reflections on songwriting, sound meditation, creativity, and deep listening, the podcast looks at how music can help us process experience, release emotion, and reconnect with ourselves. Drawing from years of musical practice, sound work, and teaching, these conversations invite listeners to explore a simple but powerful idea: Music is not only something we listen to. Sometimes, music is medicine.
