Music soothes the savage beast. So why do you listen to savage music?
Choose the tones you listen to wisely. They do affect your consciousness. The vibrations of each note can be harmful or healing, depending on the way in which they are arranged. How does the song make you feel? Energized or enervated? Peaceful and calm or crazed? You are not a slave to the radio. Turn it off or tune it to a tune that helps rejuvenate and energize you. Choose tunes for meditation that help to bring your energy into balance. How will you know if the tunes are doing so? How do you feel when you listen to them?
Get into the habit of listening to your body. It plays a non-stop tune with its vibration. Tune into that with awareness and you become the conductor of life instead of merely sitting in the bandstand.
"At the end of his manuscript [Messiah] Handel wrote the letters "SDG"—Soli Deo Gloria, "To God alone the glory". This inscription, taken with the speed of composition, has encouraged belief in the apocryphal story that Handel wrote the music in a fervour of divine inspiration in which, as he wrote the "Hallelujah" chorus, "he saw all heaven before him".[Wikipedia -- These being alleged restatement of a servant's account, who had come upon the composer weeping in his hallway during a break from compositon]
