Something interesting happens when singing a song. When the lyrics are felt and believed, when they resonate with the core of one’s being, the voice deepens. The body opens up, and the sound of the voice reverberates through the entire body.

A healing takes place. A release of stuck energy. The story being sung guides this process. It helps clear the mind and body and bring the singer directly into the present, to become a channel for the song to come through.

A powerful story that resonates with the hearts and minds of people, whether it’s in the form of a song, a book, a speech, or a brand, will also have this healing capacity. This transformative ability to help people get in touch with the deepest part of themselves, and bring that to life.

Quantum physics says that everything at its core is vibrating strings of energy.

That energy is vibrating in this sort of formless state, until it is observed, that it becomes a particle. We have this perception, that humans and plants and animals and the planet are all sepearate entities. And in a very real way, we are. We have distinct shapes and functions and identities. Yet when you penetrate down to the core we are essentially all the same, strings of energy, vibrating at different rates, along a spectrum of frequency.

We are exchanging our energy with others at all times. We are one with others, taking in others, giving ourselves to others at all times. This perspective that quantum physics provides, and that the yogis have talked about for millenia, goes a bit beyond the notion of the body or the planet as our common ground. It points to something even deeper, even more essential.

It doesn’t negate the fact that this energy manifests in the forms of bodies and planets. But it does indicate that perhaps there is another level of commonality that is important to consider when connecting with ourselves, and connecting with others.
