Music, Flow, and Vibrations
Thinking about music stimulates flow. How does it do this? Music is sound in motion, which involves vibrations, and creates flow. Playing an instrument or singing requires energy and focus; in return, the musical vibrations stimulate more energy, initiating a cycle of flowing energy. This can help you lose feelings of self-consciousness and become completely immersed in the music. Just thinking about a piece of music that you love sets in motion a chain reaction in the mind and body that shifts energy in one way or another. Dancing and creating art are other examples of energy flowing cycles.

Understanding what “health” means and then proactively focusing on building both personal and community health perpetuates more health for everyone. Pay attention to your health, engage in healthy living, and make it a priority!
Sore, Itchy, Burning Eyes?

Dry eyes are not usually vision threatening but can affect everyday life in doing things comfortably like computer use, driving and reading.
