Music Helps Me

Posted by Parus @parus, Oct 13, 2017

At times music can be helpful. I like the group Anthem Lights...A new discovery for me when I was perusing youtube. A Capella has always been my thing. I love to sing!!!!!

I could not agree more about the benefits of music. I’ve played the violin since the age of eight, but because of my severe poly neuropathy, I wasn’t able to use this as an outlet anymore. My first attempt at playing was devastating. Second attempt; I was able to hold the bell perfectly and somewhat play. By the third attempt weeks later, I was able to use vibrato and actually PLAY! Music is such a huge part of my life and I completely believe in its healing powers.

Yes, Laura, I believe that music heals the body and the soul! So uplifting! I sing with a senior choir and after a two hour rehearsal every week
our aches and pains are gone!
We are transported to another place: no pain, no strife.

P.S.
Who said “When you sing, you pray twice.”?

Hi Linda @lioness, I'm not sure I understand you. I've never seen a format button on Connect. Are you using a cellphone, tablet, computer? Which web browser if on a computer? When you say you are trying to write a letter...do you mean a post or a reply on Connect?
