Nice post. I think it’s important to know what brings in energy and what drawn energy out of our systems. I don’t listen to music much anymore except for what my kids turn on and what someone might recommend. I find that I experience music as a Time Machine. Whenever I listen to something, it always takes me back to where I was and who I was when I first heard the music. So as an alternative to listening to most music, I just play with making up my own songs. I have a bunch of beats on my phone that I just freestyle to. When I do that, it calls up what’s present for me or where I’m headed rather than where I’ve been. That being said, I do appreciate a little nostalgia now and again and will sometimes pick a song to listen to on repeat and use the nostalgia energy like a vitamin or restorative medicine of sorts.

I love that you've found what works as musical healing for you. You must share one of your freestyles.

When the same lyrics keep arising in my consciousness on a consistent enough basis, I’ve been known to go in a studio and pay someone to record it. I don’t do it often because paying $600 or more is not always worth it. But, this one was. https://youtu.be/pMVTFt5cYk4?si=LFPQfE0vut3Dfzm0
