Thoughts from Oceana on learning to play an instrument:
Experiential things are our most significant avenue for growth and development. Learning to play guitar requires pursuing a very concrete goal within a framework of tremendous creativity. This blend of concrete and creative can be a source of endless joy and innovation.
The challenges we experience in playing music are the same challenges that confront us in other areas of our lives. Our challenges are as holographic as we are! This means that the parts are reflected in the whole and the whole is reflected in the parts. What you transform in your music, you transform in other areas of your life simultaneously.
Playing music brings us face to face with our humanity. We reveal a lot about ourselves through our music and this is part of its beauty.
Playing music requires our right and left brains – the structural linear part and the flowing creative part. This process builds and strengthens neural pathways in our brains. Playing music is good for us!
The Music
In the crucible of our rapidly changing world, with all of its chaos and uncertainty, music is more important than ever. It clarifies and portrays our private inner landscapes. It can reconnect us to spirit when we feel disconnected. Through it we are exactly who we are at any moment in time.
Music can also be a transformational and healing force because it touches us in a way that our minds cannot control. A sweet melody can profoundly touch places that otherwise remain hidden deep inside of us. Music is an important means of expressing our humanity and encouraging a shift in awareness and even consciousness.
Oceana musical pieces inspire, encourage, and touch our essence. Listen here.
