When we are sleepy it can stir us awake. When we play music it can be a form of meditation. It is engrossing and leaves no room for worry. Music is all over the place. Use it wisely.
Dance energizes the whole body.
In the Western World, we are big on using words to express ourselves, but our whole body would like to express itself. Dance engages the breath and the muscles. It is rhythmic, and we ve seen that the brain is drawn to rhythm and becomes focused with it. Dancing uses a good deal of mental bandwidth, so it is hard to think about much else when we are doing it. Aboriginal peoples often incorporate dance into their religions.
