Do you like the Eagles or Neil Diamond?

What few people consciously realize, is that music can be used to shift your mood. Like color, its a tool that can energize, depress, and lift your spirit!

Lately, I've been forcing myself to listen to what I call "green music". This is the type of music where you can sit on your back porch with a beer in hand, relax, and enjoy the moment. I sometimes refer to it as your acoustic guitar music--Don Henley, The Eagles, Neil Diamond, Little River Band, many country songs, and more. This is your down to earth music. Its music that many people enjoy listening too on long road trips. It balances the soul. Its grounding.

The reason I'm forcing myself to listen to "green music" is because my life is going thru major change--we're closing on a new house in two days and then moving again. With the economy as such, we're feeling the stresses and pressures that everyone else is experiencing. "Green music" will aide me in staying more grounded and balanced during this chaotic time.

I'd love to hear stories of when you find yourself listening to "green music"? Have you found that it helps ground you and bring you back to the present moment?

Light, Love and Laughter
