USING MUSIC TO AMPLIFY YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

Using Music To Amplify Your Spiritual Practice

Life is objectively more magical the moment you add a soundtrack to it. Whether you’re washing the dishes, making your bed, doing a workout, or hauling a long commute, listening to your favorite playlist can lift the vibration of a situation exponentially. And if it can transform the mundane into something beautiful, imagine what it can do to your spiritual rituals?!

While I won’t deny even for second the power that binaural beats or frequency music can add to your sleep or meditation, nothing will help you overcome the shadow work behind processing rejection quite like an Adele record, nor step into your Goddess embodiment the way a Solange single can.

So if you haven’t already, it’s time to curate some personalized playlists to supplement your rituals and connect you even deeper to your flow state. Here are some avenues that you can look at when piecing together your magical playlists!

Morning Playlists:

This should be as uplifting as possible. You want those feel-good tunes that make being alive extra delicious to hit you while your brain is still waking up and your subconscious is still susceptible. Whatever makes your body move and your heart smile will put you in an energetic frequency that can truly only attract more good vibes for the rest of your day, setting your future self up for 24 hours of serendipity and bliss. Think “Put Your Records On” by Corinne Bailey Rae or “Golden” by Jill Scott. Play this while you’re brushing your teeth, making your bed, or embarking on any kind of morning routine to raise your vibration and align yourself with the highest possible timeline!

Inner Child Work:

These playlists are the most fun to curate because we’re going to want to highlight the tracks we loved as children, and yes, we’re absolutely looking at you, N*SYNC. Whenever you’re embarking on any form of inner child work, you always want to do your best to put yourself back in the shoes of your inner child, and nothing can do this more viscerally than watching old shows you used to enjoy, eating foods you used to love, and of course, listening to your old favorite songs. Inner child healing can get heavy when we’re processing traumas, and having an inner child playlist to turn to can reconnect you to the beautiful and blissful parts of being a kid. For extra help, look at what was trending on the billboard charts during the pivotal years of your adolescence!

Shadow Work:

You know when you’re going through heartbreak and all you want to do is listen to the most depressing music you can find to wallow alongside? While we certainly don’t want to get stuck in that, there’s a beautiful comfort behind hearing the dark emotions you’re processing be mirrored back to you in the most poetic and artistic way possible. Part of our healing comes from feeling seen and within the community, and no one is gonna tell you “I see you” the way Frank Ocean is going to tell you “I see you.” When we ignore the heavier emotions that come alongside processing shadow work, whether it’s rejection, abandonment, unworthiness, or loss, they stay stuck and stagnant in our bodies, manifesting in delayed outbursts or even physical ailments. It’s healthy to make sure that our emotions are always fluid and moving through us, and listening to music that can help us understand our own pain is crucial. So turn on those mood lights, run a hot bath, and cry while Billie Eilish brushes your hair. Just remember that you’ll eventually need to get out of that bath.

Sacral Chakra Healing:

If you’re wondering at what point will you be given permission to listen to She Wolf by Shakira, the answer is now. Dancing is the first thing I recommend anyone do when embarking on sacral chakra healing, aka stepping into sexual empowerment. If there are any sensual songs that make you feel sexy, irresistible, and worthy of being adored, this is where those would go. Once you’ve got this playlist curated, put on (or take off!) the clothes that make you feel the sexiest, drench yourself in oils that make you smell as good as you feel, and give your reflection in the mirror the show of a lifetime. Remember— our sacral chakras are seated right below the naval, so we’re wanting as much hip movement as possible to activate that kundalini energy.

And if you’re still looking for some guidance on how to start curating your playlists, here’s our Lali La Luna x T For Two curated astrology playlists! All you have to know is your Sun, Moon, Rising, Mercury, Venus, and Mars sign, and you’ve already got some personalized grooves.
