At
some point during my Meditation Concerts I feel an intensity
in the room that I know needs to be addressed in a unique
manner. I believe that this intensity is comprised of, and
results from, emotions, human beliefs, and angels or guides
who have completed their tasks with those present in the
room and are ready to depart. Because these energetic
patterns and beings desire to move on, they express through
the physical bodies of those present in the concert out into
the space of the room. Each person has reached a point where
their body and soul are ready to release past-time guides,
angels who are no longer needful, out-grown beliefs, and
emotions. As these energetic patterns ease out of those
listening, they fill the space of the room. The intensity
builds until all those energies that can be transmuted are
positioned appropriately.
In this moment a melody, a key or mode, and a starting note
will occur to me. As I follow the promptings of my guidance
a musical phrase emerges from my body out into the room.
From within my psychic vision I see the accumulated clouds
of energies in the room turn to listen. Oftentimes I repeat
the opening phrase, until all of the energies are
attentive.
As each energetic pattern listens, they interact with my
guides, the guides of those listening and with Nature and
the Archangels. As they listen the texture, color and
intensity of each energy cloud changes. From grey to misty
blue (for example) a cloud then begins to dissipate. The
emotions, beliefs, out-of-time guides or angels are now
being released into their own evolutionary path or healing
journey. Ultimately I see the room becoming bright, and the
intensity lifts, replaced by a freshness, and sometimes a
lovely scent of roses.
These two songs are from such moments in concerts. In the
first, A Blessing Song, I invited the audience to add their
voices to the process in an open 5th. This allowed me to
more easily interact with the energies emerging from them
that sought to be released. Many audience members commented
that they felt as if I was singing just to them, and they
felt their voice and my voice dancing together during the
song.
For me this is a great complement. I honor that each person
brings themselves to a concert (or in this case to listen
online) and therefore is choosing to actively participate in
their own process of healing, change and growth. It is this
active participation that allows the song to be drawn
through me. Without it, there is no meaning within the
music.
The second song is a chant, O Rubor Sanguinis written
by the mystic, seer and author St. Hildegard of Bingen
nearly a thousand years ago. This was recorded during a live
concert of healing chants, and appears on my CD
Songs
of Spirit, available HERE
I sing the chant in its original Latin. For those who are
curious, here is the English translation:

O
ruby-red blood
which flows from on high
where divinity touched.
You are a flower
that the winter
of the serpent's breath
can never injure.

This song draws the listener into a place of deep stillness.
It is a reminder that sacred action comes only from this
quiet space that dwells within us, and within which we each
dwell. No matter the external tumult, decisions made from
this quiet space will serve the journey that our soul is
also choosing.
Blessings to each,
-Norma
