i am wondering, what are your thoughts on the danger of exploring negative emotions? for instance, if you get dumped and write songs exploring your relationship, which wasnt always positive, are you in effect manifesting the same thing for yourself again?
and when you listen to and sing along with other music, are you putting the energy of that music into your life?
thinking that this might be the case makes me a little sad, because i do love me some depressing music, and i love to sing along with it. right now i have a devastating martha wainwright song stuck in my head and it's so incredibly beautiful, but the sentiments it expresses are not the ones i want to manifest in my life, so i feel a little ambivalent about playing it over and over in my skull.
any thoughts? |
Well, I am not sure that I can give you the correct answer. However, I can give you an example and maybe it might help you a little bit.
I used to be a "sad song" lover. Used to visualize my heart being broken by my boyfriend or being deceit by a loved one. Well, I noticed that every time, a while later, my vizulization would happen - when I was having these thoughts, I was in a very good relationship. And it did not seem like these things could happen to me! well, they did!
So, I decided to change this attitude. I still listen to sad songs (rarely) - however, I do not RELATE to them. I do not put any of my feelings in them. I just listen and that's all.
Happiness.
