An inspired post about divine connection & music

[ladybug5551111]

Today, I feel a lot of gratitude for the gift of music.

I’m not sure exactly what my guides are showing me by inspiring me through music lately. Maybe I’ve been spiritually expanding and I’m becoming more clairaudient. Maybe my intuitive empath antennae is just tuned all the way up right now for some reason. Maybe it’s something as simple as them trying to inspire me to reflect on beautiful things in life and feel gratitude. I know that part doesn’t really matter. Whatever the case, I just wanted to talk about music and the divine a little more. It brings me joy whenever I notice and reflect on things that bring us together, connect us with one another, moments where I can really *feel* that interconnectedness, and music has been one of those things.

I know song (sound, really) is something that goes waaaaaay back. Something that has been shared by many cultures, religions, used in rituals and traditions to connect with divine, and I find that really cool. While I’m not a gifted songwriter, singer, or musician myself, those who are…this is something I personally view as a divine gift. Music is a way people share their heart and soul with us. A way for people to be *vulnerable*. I always reflect on what I hope to leave behind when I leave this world someday. I hope it’s a positive influence, even if a small one. Singers, songwriters, and musicians share their music with us and it’s something they leave us with long after they’re gone. We can still use that music to feel connected to the artist and with other people, and I think that’s something really special.

I remember when Chester Bennington died and Linkin Park holding a memorial concert for him. I think something that connected a lot of Linkin Park fans to their music and with one another, was feeling like you’re in a dark place sometimes and turning to music. I think this is what also connected them with Chester, and Chester with them, and why his tragic passing was so devastating for many and deeply felt. [I remember seeing this video of millions of fans singing “In The End” with Mike Shinoda and getting the chills. Like we witnessed an incredible healing moment there right? I still feel very moved by this video.](https://youtu.be/okgm0jpKjwI) I also still really feel for dedicated Linkin Park fans and this incredible loss.

One of my favorite artists of all time, Mac Miller would’ve been 32 last Thursday. I never felt so personally impacted by a “celebrity” death. I was a big fan and have seen him perform. But beyond the performer, I don’t know how to explain it but he had *soul* and there was just something really special about him as a person and his art. I was very close to my great grandpa and when he passed, Mac’s song “Poppy” really helped me heal during my grieving process, and this is something that really connected me to him and his music on a person-person level and artist. Another artist where, atleast imo, you can really *feel* what he is feeling in his music. I think that’s a special talent and sign of a gifted artist.

Today, on Reddit I saw a clip of a 12 year old boy named Malakai Bayoh singing (please look him up…[here’s the video I watched.](https://youtu.be/4EH2nfdChGg)) and his voice was just so beautiful and angelic, it moved me to tears and brought me back to reflecting on music and the connection with the divine.

I love the Pixar movie Soul, and this is also a huge concept in that movie. [When Joe plays the piano, he feels connected to the divine – with his highest-self and all that is. (This movie makes me cry every time, btw.)](https://youtu.be/HYZs3ArRxu4)

I think it’s special a certain song reminds us of loved ones and our loved ones use song to communicate with us. I mean, music MUST be something special if it’s a way our guides and loved ones choose to communicate with us in this way, yes? If you’re clairaudient…what a beautiful gift! Tell me more about that. I hope I can develop mine more.

So r/mediums — can you elaborate more on the divine connection with music based on your experience? What makes it so special from a spiritual standpoint? I know it’s something special in this regard because *I can feel it and recognize it, but is something I struggle to put it into words…and I’m finding most my personal spiritual experiences with the divine kinda go like that.* I also hear there is music in the afterlife as well? Any thoughts or experiences you’d like to add to this conversation? I’m really curious! And want to reflect more on this!

I have always felt connected to music in a spiritual way, and as I’ve developed my gifts more, my guides send me messages through song aaaaaall the time. I think they send us signs and symbols that they know we will personally connect to. I deeply connect to Chester/Linkin Park’s music and his death was definitely the most difficult celeb death for me. I still can’t listen to certain songs without crying. I don’t know how you feel about Theresa Caputo, but she just uploaded an episode of her podcast “Hey Spirit” where she reads one of Chester’s friends and he comes through. It gave me a lot of peace.

I’m a musician but not a medium, and I have a spirit guide who whistles in different ways to communicate with me. Sometimes he just whistles along with a song that’s playing and he sounds like a world class Whistler like a professional haha, it’s pretty cool.
