The sound of music...

The past year or so, I gave up Apple Music and re-started my music journey on Spotify.

Music is a huge part of my daily practices and life and I am always seeking out deeply moving sounds to add to my ever-growing playlist. I have been playing my music in various settings more publicly recently and my selection has been most loved, so I thought I would share it here for you. I find the notion of sharing books and music so vulnerable as I feel it really gives one a sneaky glimpse into the internal landscapes of a person’s mind and soul. I hope you enjoy my selection as much as I do. It is gentle and at times a little haunting, mixed in with some surprising treats.

In the coming year I’ll create new and smaller lists but this will be my constant and ever growing list.

Enjoy!

Not only does music release dopamine in the brain, some experts say that melancholic music also releases a hormone called prolactin, which is specifically tied to alleviating grief.
