Sittin on the Dock of the Bay

by


This song relaxes me. It is my dream to wake up everyday to the sound of the beach. For me, it is the equivalent of a newborn being rocked by her mother. This Otis Redding song helps calm me in any circumstance. It is also a song I cannot listen to if I want to be energized. I do believe that everyone should have some music on hand that can help center them. Different songs bring out different emotions and different results.
Do you have a song? Okay, okay, I know it is not a MUST, but it really does help. It’s fine if the song changes because it loses it’s affect. I am all about sound healing. I may not follow the practice to the T, but using music as a healing process is really helpful.
Here are some other songs that are very helpful to me:
1. Crazy - Seal
2. You Will Know - Black Men United
3. Don’t Let Go - En Vogue
4. Killing Me Softly - Lauren Hill

Some of the songs may not have the most positive messages, but when I play them, I love to sing or dance full out! It is a blast. I have too much fun with these songs. I really would love to hear of your songs if you feel like sharing …
