Emotions Caused by Music are Intelligent Emotions
Part 3
by Susan Dunn

Astrology is for Skeptics

Real astrology doesn't tell you how to run your life.

It doesn't make your decisions for you.

It doesn't say you're consigned to a certain "fate."

Real astrology charts life's natural cycles.

It describes your experiences in ways that make sense.

Experience what Real Astrology can do for you!!

In a similar fashion, some jails use a color of pink, known as "drunk tank pink," to calm people who've been arrested.

We convert energy into producing music and art that might otherwise be discharged in socially unacceptable or harmful ways, or sometimes as the only outlet possible. "There are only two things to do with a woman," someone wrote. "Love her or turn her into poetry."

Appreciation of art serves the same purpose. Emotions around people are not always safe. In fact, one society considers anger so potentially disruptive to social stability, they have no word for it!

When we're angry, we can play the piano or draw pictures, activate the pleasure center and get over it. When nervous or stressed, we can listen to music or look at art and self-soothe. We listen to music when we're grieving a lost love, and dance to it with our love during courtship.

"Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast," my mother would tell me when I was angry, and send me off to play the piano. Over the years I have often turned to music during difficult times, though it's nearly always with me.

My friend James, who's a physician, has used music for over 40 years to manage the stress of his hectic practice, the suffering he sees, and the responsibility of the decisions he must make. Interestingly, like the subject B&Z wrote about, Rachmaninov is his favorite.

Two young parents I know use music to soothe their child who is overly excitable due to a stroke she endured in her infancy. She particularly responds to Beethoven's "Fur Elise."

It was no coincidence that the Greeks made the god of music also the god of healing. Music does have charms.

Someone on to the same thing described poetry as "feelings through a crack pipe," but, importantly, there is no crack pipe. The arts are sufficient to themselves, and are a source of pleasure that's legal and safe, and available, even if you must hum to yourself.

We can work through emotions with music and expand our ability to understand and manage them in pro-social and intelligent ways. This is why they have such a salutary effect on us, and are so needed in our lives, the more so in relation to the roughness of our lives.

When writing grants to provide cultural enrichment for the homeless, looking for rationale for my requests, I came upon this quote: "It smooths out the edges of our souls."

Amen.
