Unleash the Creativity Within You by Listening to Music
Being the creative people that we are, we can probably all agree that listening to music is inspiring and unleashes the creativity within us.
There is something about music that touches the deepest corner of our souls and stirs up all kinds of emotions within us. One thing that music does for me is that it ignites this certain energy within me. I love painting while listening to music because I am able to just be in the moment. The paint brush becomes a catalyst for this creative energy and takes on a life of its own. Sometimes I don’t know what the final product will look like. The painting becomes another expression of the creative energy…but it all started with the music.
I like Vincent Tan’s theory on music and creativity:
Genius and creative imagination are of high frequencies of vibration (“The mystery of sex transmutation” in Think and Grow Rich). You can think of listening to music to increase your thought frequency, bringing you ever higher to the place where creativity runs freely.
I took a painting class during college and my teacher would always play music as we painted. That was probably the most fun I’ve ever had out of all the classes I took in college. Of course there are certain classes that music playing wouldn’t be appropriate, but I wonder if music would make a difference in students’ productivity.
What does listening to music do for your creativity?
