1. Haha, listen to music with the ear of the H-ear-t, so we know which music is healing, and which is harming.

2. Very true Elizabeth, It’s all there in the heart – ‘H-ear-t’ 🙂

3. Thanks Harrison for sharing your story and about how your understanding of music changed, from listening based on rules of music, to listening to the energy including the emotions or the presence love in music. When our focus is on critiquing or comparing anything from our mind, we miss sensing and understanding the essence of any one thing… and how it affects us.

4. Thank you Harrison, as we listen to you now as part of The Backing Band for Glorious Music it is inspiring to listen and feel how far you have developed as a True Musician.

5. How simple, we don’t have to analyse it or think about it – just trust that your body will respond.

6. “just connect with the love that is present in every note of music by Glorious Music.” A simple and powerful testimonial for the magic of Glorious Music.

7. ‘I longed to breathe me again’. That is a massive acknowledgment Harrison and is something for us all to ponder on.

8. It is so important to feel the energy behind music because almost all music comes with an energy that harms us, some of it is easy to feel and some is way more subtle but it still gets us if we are unaware.

   1. Which is why Glorious Music is so refreshing, ‘just connect with the love that is present in every note of music by Glorious Music.’

9. I can relate, initially I was not a fan of glorious music but as with everything in life music comes with an energetic vibration. The music we listen to has an impact on us – I used to listen to music which was uplifting and very stimulating – drenching myself in it, all of it. When I heard some of the songs produced by glorious music, my initial reaction was that it was off, it didn’t match what my musical taste buds were used to so I dismissed it and didn’t really look at it for quite a while. Until one day, I went onto youtube and listened to one of the songs that was uploaded there – something clicked in me and although I could say that the song sounded a bit amateur, there was something in it which I absolutely adored and so I had it on replay for the whole day. What I adore about glorious music is the energetic vibration it comes with, it imposes nothing on the listener, there is no muddled up emotions in the text lyrics or in the way the instruments are played, it does not invite listeners to be sad/ happy or anything else – it just gives the space for people to be themselves and that is revolutionary, incredible and out of this world.

   1. It is great to be able to listen to music that does not impose on us, ‘What I adore about glorious music is the energetic vibration it comes with, it imposes nothing on the listener’

10. Wow! It sounds like there is a lot of pressure to play music the way other people expect you to play it. The striving to do it right, please the teacher sounds, stick to what’s accepted goes against the creativity and joy of expression that I would expect music to come with.

    1. A lot of ideals, beliefs, convictions and expectations, of how music should be if we are to be perceived as being any good at it!

11. The thing about Glorious Music, is that it is being produced by someone who is living in true harmlessness, and therefore the music that we hear has that same lived quality. Which is phenomenal in this day and age where music is often made only for the sake of making music. And this shows the incredible commitment that Michael Benhayon has to humanity, that he would choose to put out a product that is not in line with the current trends, and in fact has the potential to expose those trends for what they are.

12. It makes perfect sense why you initially did not like Glorious Music. As with anything that asks us to be all we truly are, if we are not wanting to be all we truly are and be in our issues and woes we are most likely going to resist and hate it.

13. Your experience at college does sound scary. I would have thought fun and joy would be a significant part of foundation of music.

14. Beautiful to read that with making self-loving choices you were able to re-connect back to an innocence and simplicity that you had missed ‘I longed to breathe me again.’ It is fundamental to know and feel in ourselves that we have a choice in our life and look at you now, you playing the drums gloriously at events of Universal Medicine, such a joy to watch you!

    1. It is amazing to watch you, Harrison playing drums at Universal Medicine events, with such joy and magnificence.

15. It is interesting how if most consciously knew that the music they choose to listen to actually affects them and what they were actually choosing they would most likely be rather horrified, if not resistant to hearing it. To put it plan and simple, most choose to listen to music that dulls, numbs, comforts, stimulates, distracts and poisons us.

    1. Whilst some people do not want to consciously know that music can dull, numb, comfort, stimulate, distract and poison us.

16. “You have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” Our approach to music is very reflective of our approach to life – we sell out or change ourselves to fit in and be liked. This is what I LOVE about Glorious Music, it sets a new benchmark and it’s own benchmark in terms of their quality and the absence of needing to be liked, approved or to fit in.

    1. An imposition and expectation placed on us as to how we are supposed to be in life, so controlling, ‘You have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful’.

17. We can use our mind and our ears to listen to music or we can use our heart and our whole body to listen, the impact is very different. When we listen from the mind we can judge and criticize but in the heart, we know if this music is simply healing or harming and so we either listen to it or we don’t.

    1. Connecting to the music from our heart allows us to feel if the music is supporting us, or not.

18. Harrison thank you for sharing your experience, Glorious music allows us to be ourselves, with no imposing, where much of the classical or mainstream music gets us to react a certain way, it changes our mood, it excites us or leaves us flat, basically we allow the music in to play with our emotions, where Glorious Music leaves us to just be ourselves.

19. Glorious Harrison, as is your drumming.

20. There is a huge difference between Glorious Music and mainstream music. Mainstream is imposing emotions onto the listener and encouraging the listener to get drawn into the emotional drama. Whereas, Glorious Music just lets you be but at the same time offering a healing.

21. Beautiful Harrison, it is by Glorious Music that I have felt for the first time how it is to be nurtured and adored by its vibrance. I love it! And listen to it every day.

22. Glorious Music Band to me is very dear, I listen to the music everyday.. And every note touched my heart. No emotion. Can you imagine what is truly possible with music when we use it in its true advance.

23. There is such freedom in what you describe Harrison when we let go of the ideals and beliefs associated with a certain discipline or philosophy or how we should do things. It seems to allow a space and opportunity to co-create in life rather than merely replicate.

24. There can be a seriousness around music playing that seems like it’s not necessary. It should be about having fun, being light and connecting with each other. The music industry seems to be quite the opposite where one person often gets glorified and many left behind when they do not make the mark. The music Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music presents make you feel good about yourself in a true way. Like it’s gently guiding you back home to yourself again.

25. The market for non-imposing music is rather small. By and large, people ask music: please, impose upon me!

26. I understand what you are saying about not being ‘impressed’ by ‘Glorious Music’. I was classically trained in music and my ear had been trained in a certain way. Glorious Music does not match this so it is easy to judge. However, Glorious Music does not try to ‘impress’, and in fact does not impress anything onto anyone, and this is the beauty in their music. When we listen to this music we are free to be ourselves, and we are not influenced to become emotional or elated. It is simply glorious music full of love, and we are left alone to feel this and to rise to the vibration that is being offered.

27. When I listen to Glorious Music I feel my whole body respond to joy, to me this type of music is a confirmation of the multidimensional universe we all live in.

    1. Spot on Sam, Glorious Music is very confirming of our true and divine origins.

28. I agree our ears have been attuned to a certain sound without feeling the quality of the vibration of that sound. What stands out for me is how the Glorious Music does not impose on me nor trigger emotional responses.

29. When I listen to music it is not the song or the beat or even the lyrics that is important. It is the lived quality of the musician that touches me and often allow myself to heal.

30. ‘When I first heard music by Glorious Music I wasn’t that impressed’ Me neither! Probably for different reasons but it seemed the music was too simplistic and called people to drop their differences. I resisted this big time! But I couldn’t deny how uncomfortable it was to feel how arrogant I was around music – a real music snob. This music asked me to drop all that identification, and need to be cool by association to certain music. I hadn’t dropped the looking down on people not in the know – as if I knew much about music anyways! Amazing to write this and realise how divisive music can be – no different to football teams. I’d always assumed music brought people together -partying, raves – when actually certain songs clear dance floors. Glorious Music, without all my reactions, is Glorious!

31. Very cool. Stating that the our moves are administered by an energy and that once revealed, why energy comes through certain songs – we can clearly feel what is love and what is not when we let go of emotional needs (attachments).

32. I can relate to this – I first heard Glorious Music and I thought – this isn’t my cup of tea – but today I love it. It is the only music I listen to on a regular basis. Because I have said yes to more than the music – I have said yes to the energy behind it. And I now watch you play the drums Harrison and it is amazing to watch you preform but not let the music own you.

33. I’ve always wondered how different people can like such different music. For example how can anyone like the shouting in heavy metal, or the offensive language in rap, and I wonder if music simply appeals to the emotions already inside us and then stirs them up and magnifies them and our ears then get tuned by a particular vibration to like the music we listen to. Otherwise why would we ever not like a song that confirms us as simply being amazing?

34. I remember when I first heard Glorious Music and felt exactly the same way. All the judgement and critique came through and I rolled my eyes, thinking if I ever start listening to that music I know I’ve lost myself. Turns out the complete opposite to what I had thought. I now listen to Glorious music because I’ve found myself. When judgement and beliefs are aside, we get to feel with our bodies, instead of the mind dulling the body out.

35. I love listening to (and only listen to) Glorious Music and a few other bands/musicians who understand that everything is energy and how they play or sing can either impose on another or not .. this music does not impose. I have heard this likened to a diet because essentially we are digesting it/it goes through and affects our body if imposing. What I constantly found with other music is once I listened to it,it would be in my body and mind all day (or weeks) repeating over and over again even if I didn’t want it there. So it is great to hear you have come to this understanding yourself and that you have come back to you and your sweetness … very cool.

36. When we make it about integrity first anything goes, whether or not that ‘anything’ is deemed technically perfect by some. Making music is first about the true quality being expressed and never about the sound that is produced.

37. I couldn’t listen to anything that the world offers as that music affects my body and leaves me emotional, not at all like Glorious Music where I am uplifted inspired and feel so much joy, there is always a song with a message for me when i need it.

38. Glorious music is what the title says – offering us all to be glorious again, never ever making it about glorification of itself but the very opposite – always allowing others to be themselves in FULL, their full gloriousness, supporting and empowering people to be themselves and feel their worth and universal connection (to however you feel and call this to be)..

39. “When I first heard music by Glorious Music I wasn’t that impressed. I was comparing the technical ability of what I heard being played against everything I had ever studied, read or played myself” – listening to Glorious Music with a technical/academic mindset is like enjoying a weak herbal/camomile tea.. where you miss out on the strength of the brew through leaving the teabag in for too short and too quick a time .. And then later on somebody by chance leaving in the teabag for a longer time where you realise everything’s better and stronger than when taking out the tea bag!!! Glorious Music grows and gains in strength the more your ‘tastebuds’ become accustomed to its originating power.

    1. Yes, it can take sometime to adjust once appreciation of music on hearing the music of Glorious Music even if you do not have an academic musical background, as there is not the emotional hook that one is accustomed too. However, with perseverance I, like Harrison, found it “gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love.”

40. Harrison – it is lovely to read how you came to your own choice in your own time based on where your body was at and not what you thought was right. Really powerful. I share a similar experience in that I used to think Glorious Music was not on par with the top 10 songs on the charts – but I was using music as a way to feel emotional. As soon as I started to heal that, it is like a totally different sound.

41. I listen to Glorious music whilst I’m driving, cooking or cleaning and every time I hear a song again, the song has words that not only supports me but my body responds differently too – I absolutely love it.

42. Listening to Michael Benhayon play music always awakens a resonance of something deeply known in my body and the sense of a deep connection with the vastness of the night sky in all its glory. His music is aptly named – Glorious Music.

43. Music has some unusual effects on us, I’ve experienced it to make me me feel happy or sad, thankfully it hasn’t angered me!

    When I first heard some of the Glorious Music I too couldn’t connect with it. But over time as I started to peel away what wasn’t me, I started to love the lyrics. I loved the way Michael held a guitar or pick at the strings, there was something in this I have never observed before.
    One day as Michael played his guitar for a few minutes before the singer started to sing, I had tears of something just pouring and I couldn’t stop them and how this piece of music touched my soul, it was incredible.

44. It is very simple, I love Glorious Music because it is Glorious!

45. “when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body” – This is really important to talk about and expose; the emotional impact (or facilitation) that a lot of music has on us. I have found before that I can be thinking my own thoughts one minute, and then listening to a song might take my mind to a totally different place. It’s like we can be fed ideas, emotions and struggles through the lyrics and way the music was developed.

46. Michael Benhayons music lifts me up and always reminds me of what I am capable of

47. There is much more to music that what we hear, and this is the power of what Glorious Music offers – it offers the understanding that music is energy and not just sound.

48. Harrison, I hear that you felt the difference between music with no emotional hooks and music that allowed you to feel all of who you are and did not impose on you. It is not easy sometimes to discern between what we are hearing and what we feel.

49. “Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear” and it allows you to be aware how most music is deliberately designed to trigger emotions and emotions that are not necessarily yours.

50. Hearing you play the drum Harrison is not only huge fun, but also leaves me feeling uplifted. I’m glad you dropped out of your music course as the drummer we get now and the choices you made to lead you to where you are were well made. Now we all get to reap the benefits.

51. Michael Benhayon is a genius, absolute Genius!

52. I always feel up lifted and inspired when I listen to Glorious Music, often the piece I feel to play has a message in it for me at that time, No emotions no imposing no downers no uppers, just simply the freedom to feel and be love.

53. Coming from a musician, this assessment of Glorious Music is very insightful; it makes the distinction between sound that is out to incite and evoke as compared to music that lets you be who you are quite clear. The former loads you up and the latter leaves you be free.

54. ““you have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” and “if you don’t play this certain way, you’re not doing it correctly.”” Yes there are so many unsaid rules we have to live up to in life saying that we won’t be successful in life if we don’t. But the question we have to ask ourselves is what is this success?

55. The more love we have in our body and the more we live love – the more we can appreciate works of love in sound. Listening to Glorious music is an every deepening, amazing moment of connecting to the body and the vastness of love which is communicated in their songs.

    1. To contemplate a world in which where we are actually taught to develop love in our body so we can constantly deepen the quality in which we live it in our everyday is actually making my heart sing.

56. Music is very powerful, it can be used to help connect to the Soul, or if its frequency is made seeking any form of identifcation or emotion, it will ask people to disconnect from their Soul and to follow tunes which are mentally pleasing but not a joy for the whole body.

57. It is great that from Glorious Music and the understanding how music can impose on us. A few other artists who know Michael Benhayon have created albums that are non imposing too.

58. Wow Harrison your letting go of the many ideals and beliefs that trapped you have certainly worked for you. Your playing of the drums is music to my ears and what a contribution you are making to humanity by your dedication to playing in such a true and connected way.

59. There is a deep snobbery in many circles about what music is and especially those trained, they must sound like this or that, and in that snobbery there is not room for the expression of the person. It is like every other part of the education system, squeezing students into narrow corridors and diminishing the vast capabilities we have that allow us to truly enjoy sound and the vibration that is being offered within that.

60. Michael Benhayon is a great mate of mine and of course I love every bit of the music he produces. I was an avid listening of music, having a wide range of tastes for certain things at certain times. I remember listening to music that made you emotional, music that amped you up, bought you down etc etc. What I enjoy about listening to Glorious music is that it doesn’t move you anywhere but allows you to truly move to it, whichever way that is for you.

61. It is lovely to read how you came to appreciate the music of Glorious Music by realising how sweet and unimposing it is and I agree that it has a certain quality to it that is very rare in the music industry today in that it has no selfish drive behind it, not for money or fame and this comes across in the sweetness of the songs and in the rhythms of the music it self. There is simply the joy of music being shared in an open and honest way.

62. What this blog reveals is that the ‘lenses we use to read‘ that were constructed in the context of your training may be an initial obstacle for feeling the truth of what does not resonate strongly with your built way.

63. It’s amazing how what we hear can be affected by our beliefs an ideals – but also makes sense in that they are like filters in a way that analyse the music to see if it fits the picture we think it needs to… But when we listen with our whole body we can begin to also re-connect with the quality of energy of the vibration of the music, regardless of the words or tune, and with that truly hear more of all that is being sung or played…

64. “Connect with the love that is present in every note of music by Glorious Music” – this is very special and something worth noting that there is music that is made with love and has love in it, and not just singing about whatever we term as ‘love’ but actually communicates what true love is.

65. Loved what you have shared Harrison, and great that you were aware of what other music was doing to your body and how Glorious Music felt so different in your body, supporting you with love to be you. Music made with love is a most powerful instrument for healing and reconnecting.

66. I think it is truly beautiful that you can recognise what is going on in your body when different types of music are playing. To know yourself is well, when you are as young as you are, is very inspiring.

67. Music is only truly healing when the sounds are made to serve people: from love and truth and without any imposition on a person. Never to self-indicate or self-identify, or put another higher or lesser. Simple, but you need to live it not just sing. Therefore making music is a living way, not just a performance of what you like to perform or think that is it!

68. What I love about the music Michael Benhayon, Glorious Music, writes and records, is not only the beauty in the words, but the way he goes off to the recording studio and simply records it, without any fuss or concern about it being top of the charts or of it being ”perfect ‘ by the accepted way the music industry says that it ‘should be’.

69. I came to Glorious Music with the arrogance of having been a musician for many years and was also, like you Harrison, listening with that critical and judgemental ear I’m sure many musicians and non-musicians alike can relate to. I love it now too and it’s been a humbling journey getting more and more honest with myself about the arrogance that is there.

70. Harrison it’s a beautiful moment when we truly know what’s caring for ourselves and we honour how we feel and make a decision to change the course of our life. Everyday we can do this in big or little ways and travel along with love.

71. I love what you’ve shared Harrison and can relate very much. Trained in classical piano and with parents who prided themselves on having great musical taste, I had many ideals and beliefs around what constituted ‘good music’. I felt similarly when I first heard Glorious Music, loving it on the one hand, but cringing at the so-called lack of technical expertise (as it was more so in the very early days). In truth I was just unable to appreciate the quality of sound I was hearing, instead overlaying what it was I had taken on about music that rendered me unable to discern the quality of sound I was taking in.
    Today there is little else of me other than Glorious Music and the handful of musicians who produce their sound with a lived understanding of the integrity in which they live being translated directly through their music. I have never truly enjoyed music so much as I do today thanks to these amazing and very dedicated musicians.

72. There is a lot more to listening to music than the sound. Glorious Music offers us the truth of that statement.

73. With regard to Glorious Music “For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.” – I so agree Harrison. And now there is more music available that is non-imposing. Most musicians want an emotional reaction from their listeners. With Glorious Music there is none of that. We are left to be ourselves – something totally unusal in the world of music.

74. If we are all honest we will accept that most music of today induces a variety of emotional reactions within us. But what you share Harrison is so true. In complete contrast Michael Benhayon’s aptly named Glorious Music does indeed make one feel glorious, light and inspired.

75. What on earth could possibly sound better than love?

76. I used to love music especially the way I thought it made me feel. When I read about your experience: ‘when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body.’ I reflected upon what it was I liked about certain types of music I was into. The dance music I’d started listening to as a teenager even then had a kind of nostalgia – it promised something hopeful in the future that I’d lost but that was now somehow unobtainable and I caught glimpses of in the music. But when I listen to it now I feel it wants to pull me from being with me and join a kind of group fed euphoria that actually feels quite sinister! I can see how this used to be quite exciting and daring and was something I liked for a time when I did not like myself.

    Glorious Music is nothing like this. I’m inspired to reconnect with who I am and every time I listen to the same tracks it feels like new as it’s not old stuff just recycling itself.

77. Music is very powerful indeed, it sways us to feeling a certain way, to have certain thoughts, and we often identify with certain songs or styles because we re-identify with the frequency or the emotions. It is well known and not a secret at all that music keeps us emotional. I have talked to someone who said they love the music because it is angry, they love being angry! Anger always proves itself to be a very destructive emotion, hence it’s indicative of how we live in stuck patterns of emotions and become clear enough to seek stillness or gentleness, or feel that we are naturally tender.

78. “when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body.” If we were all being absolutely honest with ourselves we would feel this too and we would recognise how damaging music coming from emotion is. I have often used music as a catharsis – songs of heartbreak and emotional love when my own relationships broke down etc. They never supported me to come back to myself, they just increased the feelings of sadness, despair, heartbreak within my own body so I was stuck in the self-pitying, chocolate-consuming hamster-wheel we think we have to be in when these things happen in life. Glorious Music does none of this. It inspires us to be more of who we are, not confirm us in our misery as so much other music does.

79. It is truly lovely to be able to listen to Glorious Music and not feel pulled into emotion and more so than that actually feel supported to connect deeper with who we are in essence. This is true soul music!

80. I couldn’t agree more with this wonderful testimonial, “I feel love when I listen to this music. It is glorious! Words can’t describe how freeing it feels to let go of all of the ideals I learned about how music should be and just connect with the love that is present in every note of music by Glorious Music.”
    Absolutely!

81. Thank you for exposing the ideals and beliefs around music education and how it fosters lack of connection rather than the true purpose of music to celebrate our true essences and the joy of connecting to each other.

82. I have no musical background but have often used music in the past as a distraction, putting something upbeat on when I was getting ready to go out or something sad on when I was choosing to wallow in my emotions. I love how you describe Glorious Music as ‘nurturing’ and totally agree that it does not ask us to be anything we are not instead we are supported to re-connect with ourselves and live from that connection.

83. Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music’s music is truly unimposing. For a while now I have just been listening to only Glorious Music’s music and the other day I did an experiment I listen to a song on the radio the whole way through thinking it would not affect me but the next day I had this repeating itself over and over again in my mind. So yes it just goes to show how unimposing Glorious Music’s music is as after I have heard a song from Glorious Music I never had it repeat itself over and over again in my mind.

84. I had a similar experience Harrison when I first heard music by Glorious Music. Music had been a huge part of my life too, playing a variety of instruments, singing in choirs and groups, and generally being into the ‘music scene’ for most of my adult life. So on hearing Glorious Music, it seemed way to simple and ‘unstimualting’ to my ears and to my body. But the more I listened, and began to sing along to the songs, the more I came to realise that this was what was so refresing about this music. It did leave me alone, it was not imposing or asking me to be anything other than myself, and the messages in the lyrics were totally confirming of that. I too now love Glorious Music’s music, and deeply appreicate how much it offers a differnet perspective to an industry that is so steeped its emotional identification.

85. I know at first I found Glorious Music a little different to listen to than what I was used to but then I started to feel what it was offering me – once I clocked this I could really start to allow the music in. Now I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Glorious Music and how this music is produced and shared leaves you free to be yourself and not imposed on by any emotions. This is why it was so different because most if not all music carries emotions with it and you can feel that when you listen to it. Which makes sense when I haven’t in the past dealt with an emotion I can be drawn to a particular song or artist because it confirms the emotions that are still bubbling away inside of me. I much prefer being free of these emotions and free to enjoy the music without being imposed upon.

86. Thank you Harrison, today at a shopping mall I was listening to the music in each store and it was so harsh, each song a tale of woe, emptiness and needing others. It felt very imposing and I wanted to exit each store as quickly as I could. There was no wisdom in the songs or words that confirmed the truth of who we are as souls living a human life – it was really all about living without love and requiring another to supply their love (but an emotional version of love). Conversely I find the music and lyrics of Glorious Music very unimposing and actually delivering evolution to me.

87. “For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.” Beautiful Harrison – I so agree. So much music tries to pull us in emotionally and that is the intention. We are fed this music everywhere we go – in shops and supermarkets etc, even if we don’t choose to listen to such in our own private space. One day music from heaven – as Glorious Music is – will be widespread.

88. This is beautiful Harrison to read your journey from the ideals you held about music and how it needed to sound to embracing the loving and healing sounds of Glorious Music and all it offers.

89. Glorious Music allows me to be, if anything it actually pulls me up, as in if I am feeling down, having a bad day, when I listen to one of the songs I am able to see the stuff I have been involved in that has made me feel that way. Truly a blessing to have this quality of music available to all.

90. Thank you Harrison for sharing your experience of true music, I too love Glorious Music for its non imposing and non emotional way that it delivers, I feel so much joy when listening and singing along and I am inspired by the love coming through the music and words and the love I feel in my own body.

91. I had no attachment to music I can’t play a note so when I heard Glorious Music I could feel how much joy was in the music, I could feel although it was not soft quiet music, I enjoyed listening to it and the more I listened to it the more I enjoyed it. The words meant something and rang true with me and I have loved them ever since. From listening to them I could feel how other music left me flat or grated with my ears and my body. It is not that I don’t like other music but I am much more aware through Glorious Music how much other music can impose and affect us.

92. Generally in the past I have always found a song to capture the emotions I was feeling, which didn’t make me feel any better about myself, all it did was drop me deeper into the emotions I was in. I have found Glorious Music to do the exact opposite – it allows me to connect with me, and be with myself.

93. ‘When I first heard music by Glorious Music I wasn’t that impressed. I was comparing the technical ability of what I heard being played against everything I had ever studied, read or played myself.’ Er have you seen Michael Benhayon walk down an isle of a room effortlessly strutting an electric guitar? He is a true rock legend! An unimposing rock legend 😁 It’s interesting that even though we don’t feel things are right for us we still go ahead and do them, like you signing up for the course. I have done this soooooooo many times in my life but this is getting less and less now. I love what Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine present with regards to music, I could feel this when I was younger, how it took me out … away from me but we never have discussions about things like this until now.

94. What an utter gift Harrison, the discovery and confirmation in your body that music can in fact leave you to be you (and not impose emotion). “The difference was now clear; when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body. But Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love.”

95. The lightness with which Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music play is literally music to the ears, true music.

96. The problem with sound is that what may sound good is not really ‘sound’ for the body and that we did not have too many available sounds that allowed us to register how this could be different. To reflect something different and to educate how our body may feel and activate with soulful music is Glorious Music’s business. An amazing service for all.

97. Well one could if one would liken it with going to a practitioner. You wouldn’t want to, or at least if I speak for myself, go to a practitioner that smoked weed and had a glass of what ever alcoholic beverage beside the treatment table would you? Extreme maybe but you get my point. Or one that is sad, feels lonely and hurt by the world, pretty much the same thing, you get what you ask for. With music it’s the same but might be a hard pill for many to swallow, for many because we want the music to make us feel something, instead of the music showing us a way that is true and not one that will bury the things we hold on to and that hurts us.

98. “The difference was now clear; when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body.” The true effect that music has on us and how we feel has yet to be fully recognised but I feel the same as you. Most popular music holds so much emotion and can really make you feel worse than you truly are. Recognising this is part of medicine and taking care of ourselves.

99. Actually I wonder why we call a whole genre of music ‘love songs’ when they are actually lament songs, lamenting the lack of or longing for love in various ways.

100. I used to take on the emotions in songs, particularly longing, loss of love songs. They kept me in a cycle of sadness and pretty much ‘given-upness’ that I would ever have love in my life again. Glorious music doesn’t do that, the songs leave you alone in that respect, instead they offer you the knowing that you are love already and there is no need, that love is always there within us, it only requires us to connect to it, to ourselves. From there we share that connection with others.

101. “But Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love.” Learning to feel the vibrations of music in our body rather than just hearing the sound in our ears is the key.

102. Beautiful Harrison, Absolutely LOVE watching you play the drums on the big screen 😉

103. In listening to Glorious Music I have found ‘radio friendly’ or the mainstream music feel so different. Where Michael Benhayon’s music is unimposing the usual music feels very imposing, can feel like a sucking or a weighting down on my body. And that I have a choice to allow it to affect me, or not, by my choice of playlist and my choice to react or not to music at work and in stores. But without this unimposing marker I never took notice of how music affected me the way I do now.

104. Well said Harry, what we are offered through Glorious Music is pure evolutionary we can now listen to music with no imposition, just joy.

105. Driving home today I decided to listen to the dance charts. As I was listening I could feel I was feeling a little out of sorts, not myself – perhaps it reminded me of all those times I used music to be out of it – but what it didn’t do was leave me alone to just be. Then I put on Glorious Music and felt a sense of balance and harmony I could reconnect with and confirm who I am.

106. It takes a lot of courage to play music without playing ball to the image and the ways that govern everyone else.

107. Music that nurtures – that’s amazing to really consider. When I listen to regular music I can feel it wants to push me around – perhaps into feeling angry, or sad, or lonesome. Certain types of music I feel are just shouting at me – lots of music I feel is communicating hurt and being unheard. I used to like music because I was so in my head at least there was something that I could feel, or I judged music for it’s cleverness. It’s so wonderful to hear Glorious Music and allow myself this space.

108. Often music is championed for stirring up emotions, as if that is a good thing but do we stop to consider just how that makes our body feel and the impact that those emotions have on us all? I love how music by Michael Benhayon leaves you alone so to speak in that it doesn’t try and stimulate any emotions but is full of heart and invites us to be more connected and truly expressive.

109. What amazing observations Harrison, particularly for a young man of this generation where, let’s face it, there isn’t a lot of opportunity given to explore the underlying reasons for why we choose what we choose.
     Super insightful.

110. How very blessed we are to have Glorious Music calling us back to our innate truth and wisdom. I love what you have expressed here;
     “Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love”
     A beautiful blog Harrison, thank you for sharing your experiences and your wisdom.

111. Harrison, I completely agree with you it is amazing to have Glorious Music offering us sound that is non imposing and allows us to be. I used to listen to lots of background music but when I actually took note of the words that were being used I was shocked. Whereas with Glorious Music I actually want to know the words!

112. I have found that regular music is very imposing and based on being competitive and outdoing one another; and some popular music is downright manipulative in the way it plays on and tries to manipulate the listeners’ emotions.

113. Music has such a big effect on us. We can, for example, be in the supermarket and a song comes over the loudspeaker and suddenly we are back in our teenage years and can remember everything that was going on for us at that time. Glorious Music does not do this, it does not entice or excite but allows you to be free to just be you. I always feel like celebrating when I hear it.

114. Your writing made me smile for it is not hard to feel and appreciate through your words, the love and freedom you experience when listening to Glorious Music… and what this means to you and what is clearly your passion. The industry is so heavy with emotions, it is such a blessing to have something to make you feel like this does.

115. Music is a form of energy and expression. Music that comes from the Soul contains joy and wisdom. Most music I have listened to before is full of emotional hooks, and when listening detached I don’t find this enjoyable at all. Glorious Music provides a wonderful listening experience where you can just be who you are, there is no imposing what so ever.

     1. So true Harrison, I listened to music for many years that had emotional hooks and it really affected my moods and general outlook on life. Listening to Glorious Music I have also found it doesn’t have any hooks or impose on you in any way, allowing you the space to really appreciate the music and the joy that this brings.

116. Agree Harrison – so much music is used almost as a form of drug. Just try taking it away from someone and they will rebel big time, proof of its addictive nature. The difference I feel with the music made by Michael Benhayon is that it lets you be, it doesn’t ask anything of you. This is in contrast with other forms of music where the music doesn’t leave you to be. This is something that needs to be felt and at first it might seem hard to discern, however my experience is that I can have the music by Michael Benhayon running in the background non stop without thinking about it nor getting tired of it whereas other music might entertain you and seem good to the ears for a while but eventually you feel like you’ve had enough and want another flavour.

117. What I would say Harrison is that you are a terrific drummer, you have obviously found a way to connect to music without compromising who you are. It is such a shame that the way we educate, in music and every other aspect of learning, focuses on squashing and narrowing us down. How much richer and more interesting would music and life in general be if we created a more open approach to what music can be, and didn’t let it be ruled by the emotional hook we find in songs and other compositions. Emotion free music is something I have learned is far healthier for my body to listen to, and that if I listen to most mainstream music, as I used to love to do, it would leave me feeling sad and quite down, maybe not immediately but certainly I felt it in the next few days. A bit like eating chocolate, a minute or two high, but always a comedown. So great to read your positive experience of choosing music that is right for you.

118. I sometimes have the radio on in my van to listen to traffic reports and the breakfast Dj’s are quite humorous sometimes but sometimes I songs come on that I would have used to been really into, but now they cause me much irritation and I have to hit the CD but for Glorious Music to come through and sooth that irritation. I can now understand how my Dad felt when I used to play my music at home and I thought he was just overreacting.

119. I am finding that the more in my essence I am, the more I am enjoying and appreciating Glorious Music.

120. With all those ‘shoulds and shouldn’ts’ you mentioned it made me smile – Michael Benhayon is living proof that not following the rules when it comes to music production is truly successful. Far more so than the assumed success that is championed today. A person can make a lot of money by putting out an emotional song but as a result many people remain stuck, sucked into and supported to remain in an emotional state. Is all that money at the cost of well-being truly successful?
     I choose to listen to Glorious Music because I feel lighter and less inclined to stay in those emotional states of being because how can I when the music is supporting that we are so much more than an emotion that isn’t even us in the first place.

121. I agree Harrison – it’s so beautiful to listen to music that not only doesn’t impose itself upon you by trying to lure you into emotion but leaves you free to just be whilst at the same time also offer a healing.

122. Thank you Harrison for such an awesome sharing, what stood out for me was how Glorious Music never leaves you feeling emotional and that it allows you to feel more love. That is a beautiful reminder of how truly healing Glorious Music is to humanity and how it inspires anyone listening to it to feel more joyful and open.

123. Letting the penny drop on the insidious, imposing nature of music can be quite a big process. After all, our generational footprints are based around key songs of the time and one note of them takes you right back to ‘the time when’. The dust and cobwebs of our emotions have conveniently stuck to those tunes and tones – particularly if the lyrics fitted the mood you were in when your mind got ‘programmed’. When I hear music from my past now, I can feel an immediate change in my body and I begin to be transported, feeling the feelings I experienced back then. Turn off the music and the feelings are gone in an instant. That always reminds me I’m being played with, reconfigured if you will, to rekindle a set of emotions that are no longer me.

     1. Well noted and expressed Cathy. This all calls us to live from a deeper place of honesty in ourselves and supports us back to true health.

124. In the future it will be known to all how harmful music can be, just as the world was once believed the world was flat so too will we look back at our ignorance to the deeply harmful effects that music has had

125. Harrison you are so inspiring! When I started to truly listen and feel the quality in songs by Glorious Music I knew I could no longer listen to anything else. Over time I decided to get rid of all my old C.D’s as they felt so off beat and so imposing. Now when I hear songs in the background I can feel the emotional pull and imposition in them which I am so glad I am now able to tell the difference, from music that harms or music that heals.

126. What a great summary of how music affects us and how it is constructed to hook us into a predetermined state of being; and that makes most music not only imposing but also demanding in the extreme.

127. Thank you Harrison for sharing your story, I the past I would often listen to emotional type music, getting hooked in, thinking that all this emotion was real life. Now when I listen to Glorious Music I just love it, no hooks no emotion, just the simple joy I feel as I listen and sing along to this heavenly sent music, very confirming in the love we all are and come from.

128. My observation of your own impressive musical talents Harrison is that every time I hear you play you seem more connected to your own joyful expression, more willing to just play from the clarity of who you are and display your own unique expression in your music. That seems like a pretty awesome way to offer music, a creation of unique expression but without emotional hooks, allowing for a diverse array of musical styles and methods to be shared, without the need to impress anyone or aim to stand out for recognition and acceptance.

129. Glorious music and any music that is impulsed by the soul is a gateway to the soul and to the understanding that we are all in truth One, whereas any music that comes from the individualized spirit keeps us incarcerated in the belief that we are all individuals, living separate lives from one another.

130. “For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.” This is completely my experience with Glorious Music too. And unemotional doesn’t mean boring – far from it!

131. When we have fixed ideas about what we should do, how things should be and how we should be, it can be very confronting and challenging when we are faced with no rules and energetically clear music or an energetically clear person. It’s like we can’t get our hands round it, as it feels different, but it’s true we can’t, as what we’re being presented with has nothing to do with our minds and our usual intelligence but has everything to do with a way of living that comes from the heart.

132. I love returning to your awesome blog Harrison. “Underneath every bit of criticism and technical advice is “you have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” and “if you don’t play this certain way, you’re not doing it correctly.” This line rang true for me because I too was a singer and was always told to be a certain way and to emulate if you will the top pop singers of the day. But it never really rang true for me. So I would always feel a sense of unease when singing in this way. Over the years though I started to trust my own voice and the sound and it feels so awesome to sing in this way. Glorious Music is fantastic and feel sensational in the body. Thank you for sharing your experiences Harrison, this is truly inspirational.

133. I love to listen to and sing along with the music of Glorious Music. it is unlike other music I have listened to in the past, which pulled me into emotions like sadness, longing for love or searching for God outside of my body. Some so called meditative music I would listen to made me feel empty in my body, and I would leave my body falsely believing that I was connecting to God outside of myself. Glorious Music helps me reconnect to my inner heart. I feel myself very grounded whilst listening to this music. It is uplighting and holds you in love.

134. I really enjoy the music of Glorious Music , not having listened to much music since the late 80s. I used to listen to very emotional songs, I loved them in my youth from the 60s onward. To listen to his music now I really feel how it takes one into emotion big time and it doesn’t feel OK now at this time of my life. Glorious Music gives and uplifts and connects, NOT takes away and drains.

     1. I know exactly what you mean Roslyn when you say Glorious Music uplifts and connects and does NOT take away and drain. When I am driving listening to Glorious Music I can tangibly feel the healing qualities it offers. Every beat has purpose, is all about reminding us of the love and glory that we hold in our hearts – every single one of us.

     2. I agree Roslyn, and it’s interesting what songs pop into our heads when we are feeling emotional.

135. It’s amazing to read so many comments in appreciation and love of Glorious Music. Look forward to the next album!

136. Your blog highlighted how when we are in the emotions of our lives and not open to seeing, feeling and thus living a truer and more whole way from the love within us. Then we are not going to be open to depth and true quality music such as Glorious Music actually offers us. This is despite the enormous difference in the quality of music it produces and that of most of the music in our world today.

     1. This is beautiful Joshua, I certainly know it was the case for me. I was not yet open to being honest with how I was really feeling. So music served as a distraction until one day I decided enough was enough and began to look within to ask myself what I really wanted in life. When I did this I listened to Glorious Music and it provided a loving platform of energy for me to assess where I was at and provided support to the love I could feel inside me growing.

        1. Beautifully said harryjwhite. My own experience was very much like that too. Before Glorious Music I was using music to escape and check out to the world but now it is a tool to support my connection to me during my day

     2. Its so refreshing to have music that doesn’t play us, no unwanted emotion, just a glorious feeling of the vibration of the music in my body.

        1. Absolutely, music that truly celebrates us, confirms us, and holds us for who we truly are. Settling for anything less is a total bastardisation of what music truly is and what it can offer us

        2. Yes I agree Catherine. Glorious Music does not impose on us and it holds and allows us to feel the true beauty and quality of who we are. Awesome.

137. My relationship with music has evolved through the years. Clearly, music for me was to confirm my emotional states (good or bad). I asked music to come and fill my whole body. That feeling of ‘wholeness’ made me feel more alive and connected to my emotions (fact that I interpreted to be a good thing). All of that has changed. I do not ask music to come and fill me. I learnt to feel music and avoid at all costs anything that feels invasive (hence imposing) or emotional. Glorious Music played a huge role in this change. I truly appreciate what they bring.

138. Harrison I have been fortunate enough to see you on stage playing music and wow you were inspirational, I could feel your love for music. At nearly 60 years of age I am just starting to discover my singing voice. It’s great when I read about young people who are feeling into what is actually best for them and then going for it ! Thank you for sharing.

139. Hear, hear Harrison. Coming from an extensive background in music also, Michael Benhayon’s music offered something completely different to my ears and listening ‘body’, as did the music of Chris James from when he began his collaboration with Serge Benhayon.
     I had played and sung music of many styles and genres, within the constant demands of enormous ‘box ticking’ called for in the dominant music industry and way of musical expression and education. Whilst I inherently knew the depth of my innate and joyful connection to music, NONE of this experience ever truly cut it – I was left with tensions in my body, and caught in feeling never enough (who is? unless they are swamped in the polar extreme of self-aggrandisement and worship that’s ‘all about me’… truly…).
     It wasn’t until I came to the work of Serge Benhayon, and his teachings on the truth of music – as with everything, it is all energy first and foremost, and we are impacted by every musical utterance… that things began to change for me and substantially so.
     Today, I know what it is, via the lived example of Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music, and Chris James, to express musically from the truth of my being – and actually confirm in full the truth of all of us through musical expression that is in no way about self, yet can utilise all of our abilities in celebration of the truth of all.
     For is this not its purpose? All seeking of self-gain and acknowledgment through music only imposes our needs upon the listener and impacts upon us in more ways than we can imagine.
     It is time for the tides to truly turn. Celebrating the amazing musician you are Harrison White and your own transformation in this regard – bring on the next gig brother!

     1. It always appeared to be that music was just music – only different types in rhythm and tempo being played from classic, pop, jazz, folk songs etc. Since becoming more aware of the feelings in my body through listening to presentations by Serge Benhayon, I can now feel the difference in the quality that comes through with the music of Michael Benhayon and Chris James (harmonious and non imposing) from the other music which feels to be an imposition on my body. The quality of this typical music is vastly different and actually feels harming and disjointed in my body now with a sense of separation and tension.

        “All seeking of self-gain and acknowledgment through music only imposes our needs upon the listener and impacts upon us in more ways than we can imagine”.

        1. Testimony to the impact music has on us and our bodies, Stephanie. It’s great to have your sharing here. We have played and listened to music as though it has no impact – when it undoubtedly does… It’s akin to our wilful digesting of enormous amounts of refined sugar, without considering the consequences to our wellbeing.
           Listening to our bodies is most certainly the key, and being willing to feel and discern – without this, we can be ‘digesting’ far more than we can imagine…

140. Thank you Harrison for sharing, I too feel the same, this is the only music for me, the other music leaves me feeling empty. With Glorious Music I feel the love that is me.

141. It was very interesting to read your amazing blog Harrison. I love it because you saw and felt Glorious Music out of a musicians perspective and that helped me to understand more about what the Music from Michael Benhayon is really offering. I have to admit that I am a fan of Glorious Music because as you so beautifully said this music “gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy the simple sounds that are made with love.”

142. Harrison, I just love the way you express. Your initial response to Glorious Music mirrors my own as well as your growing love for the non-imposing sounds the Michael and Miranda Benhayon produce.
     My love for each song grows and develops with me and continues to support my own evolution – something you do not get with other music.
     It is truly glorious and revolutionary.

143. The reason Glorious Music is so different as you say here Harrison is because they have a different philosophy behind why they are writing the music – it is clear even in the lyrics that it is completely different, and some might consider it strange, because it doesn’t sing about sex, heartbreak, money, drugs, or denigrating people. The lyrics aren’t the norm in the slightest, and that’s why it’s so great.

     1. Yes Jessica I agree, the lyrics are not normal by what the ‘popular’ standard is, but are far more loving ! They are actually so great as you say. I feel they are connecting on a deeper level than all of the other music I have listened to.

        1. Yeah! They are not only respectful lyrics (by not containing many, many, many…. many swearwords and derogatory words, particularly towards women), but they actually give you something to take away. *Shock* we can actually learn from this type of music

        2. haha love it Jessica!

144. I have felt that emotional pull, sometimes up, sometimes down, from a lot of music, and then there are those songs that get stuck in your head and take over your day. Music has a powerful effect and I suspect that even if you’re not aware of it, then it is affecting your mood and feelings. There is such a contrast and purity with Glorious Music, everything about Michael Benhayon comes across in the music, yet not an ounce of selfishness or ego, quite amazing to feel the difference in it.

145. Thank you Harrison for sharing these great words , to forgo our self and the beautiful rhythm we move as our self for any other purpose that does not allow that freedom but reduces us to a confined image to gain recognition in a system based on beliefs and ideals is the harm we treat our self and others with ,thank God for Glorious Music and all that offer it to us.

146. It’s noteworthy how as children turn into teenagers there is more interest in music, as if music is turned to at this time. This is not a secret, I did it, my friends did it, and if you have anything to do with teenagers today it is no different, although the music seems to become more sophisticated by the decade. There are even teenage connoisseurs of some types of music if they are really into it. Teenagers are also known to feel a little at sea, perhaps unsure of their emotions and how to handle them. What could this be saying about music? Could it be somewhere to hide or lose oneself? Could it be being used to take the edge of one’s own emotions by blurring the line between one’s own and the emotions coming through the music of the mainstream music industry?

     1. This is awesome Deanne such a power-packed comment! I resonate with a lot of what you have said.

147. Music can be so emotional and this is even considered a good thing. It was not until I met Chris James and then Serge Benhayon that the dots were joined together – if music can make us emotional and emotions can make us sick, (particularly if they are not our own but absorbed from the surrounding environment, be it from other people or music) perhaps music that is emotional is not good for our health. There is much research and anecdotal evidence among physicians to confirm emotions contribute to ill health, conventional medicine would struggle to revoke this. So perhaps we are not far off what Serge Benhayon has said for years, that un-dealt with emotions cause our health conditions and that not all music is as good for our health, harmless or even Cathartic as we may believe it to be.

148. If music is a vibration and we are all connected then it makes sense to me that music is loaded with negative vibrations by way of emotions and has the hooking ability to make us feel a certain way, and it can enter our bodies and affect how we feel. That is the reason I listen to Michael Benhayon and Chris James, as it is clear of these imposing energies, and although I cannot avoid music altogether as it is played everywhere, even the supermarket, I can only stop myself getting hooked into it by being as present with myself as I can.

149. I haven’t much like listening to music for years without realising that the reason was I didn’t like it because of the energy coming through. Listening to Glorious Music is so different, it lets us simply ‘be’, not trying to draw us into a story or a feeling. It’s simply glorious and I love dancing to it too.

150. Michael Benhayon offers the world an opportunity to enjoy the magic of music without imposition. This is ground breaking and will go down in history as a GLORIOUS first.

     1. That is the absolute truth Kathryn. Michael Benhayon, Glorious Music, Chris James and Serge Benhayon will be celebrated for hundreds of years to come for the true foundations that have been laid here, and the restoration of music to its true purpose – to connect, confirm and re-inspire all to return to who we truly are, our evolutionary way.

151. You sum up the difference with Glorious Music perfectly Harrison – the sounds would never ‘do it for you’ as every song and album they release is here to do it always, for us all. The philosophy that lives in the music industry about being a ‘star’ gives itself away as you say, is all about being ‘someone’ at the expense of our health and often others. What a beautiful tune it is that Glorious Music bring that unifies, unties and cares for the whole.

152. Harrison I could read this again again, you express so clearly what makes the difference between music that is laced to pander to our emotions and music that is from soul, clear, inspiring and uniting. I hope in time just like how they now recognise that passive smoking is harmful and put a ban on smoking inside, will they one day realise how passive listening to music can also be damaging to your health. I find a lot of music offensive, imposing and harming yet we still find it many places we go!

153. Glorious music by Micheal Benhayon and crew definitely helps to uplift and centre me rather than some types of music that feel imposing ,leaving a heavy or emotion feeling lingering.

154. Music played a huge part in my life; listening to things like opera, emotional love songs, musicals but I came to realise that I was reacting and feeling down after listening to it – which didn’t help me when I was feeling depressed. So when it was presented by Serge Benhayon the effects music has on us, I knew instantly that it was the Truth. Having said that there were some old time favourites I still hung onto which I grew up with and I was reluctant to let them go. The harm I now feel from these old time favourites is evident when I instantly get transported back in time and relive a moment; that in it’s self may seem harmless enough but for me it’s more moments of being distracted and reliving an event which no longer serves me. It’s in these moments I can feel how music can hijack us back into an emotion.

155. Thank you, Harrison, for expressing the vast difference between approaching life from a place of self (judgment, disregard, obsession, loathing…) OR from the openness, purity and wisdom we hold inside that connects us all to each other. Glorious Music is an incredible support and inspiration when we allow it to be – it is beautiful to hear of you dispensing with the critique and hearing it in full.

156. Glorious Music presents music in a completely different way to what I have ever experienced before too and I recall the difference I felt in my body when I listened to it at work in comparison to having the radio on.. The imposition I felt with the later was huge! I noticed more thoughts about (literally all kinds of things!) relationships, sex, arguments and other highly emotional thoughts that actually weren’t me! and the only difference in the room was the choice of music playing (not) innocently in the back ground. When I listen to Glorious Music, which is ALL that I ever choose to listen to these days it’s my choice because my body feels open and un-imposed upon and this to me feels like heaven.

     1. thats an interesting observation Cherise! When I listen to music on the radio I can also feel how this imposes and has a different energetic quality, its like I cant stay still and my body feels anxious. When I listen to Glorious Music I feel I can literally drop all the anxiousness, and re-connect because I am not being imposed on.

     2. Great point Cherise. The music played ‘innocently” in the back ground is not so innocent. It plays in the background of our thoughts too, feeding in ideas that really do not belong to us at all.

157. I can relate to everything you share here about the quality of Glorious Music’s music.

158. Thanks for Sharing Jane and I agree. Glorious Music is the only music I have found that is nourishing and joyful. After seeing them live as well I felt how very strong this quality is, and now nothing compares for me. There is simply nothing like the grand energy that can be felt when listening to Glorious Music.

159. I didnt realise how harmful mainstream music was until I was Introduced to glorious music. Glorious music puts me in a place of tranquility and harmony where as listening to the radio makes me feel uncomfortable after a while.

     1. Yes Joe, I am now acutely aware of the difference between mainstream music and the quality of Glorious Music. Mainstream music now feels like a lot of noise that imposes on me, in contrast to the sweet unimposing sounds of love and joy that Glorious Music produces and expresses.

     2. I agree Joe, I notice how heavy I feel when I have listened to classical music which is supposed to be relaxing and great for studying, however, I end up feeling like a wet blanket is covering me and quite emotional. It feels like an energetic molestation, something that disturbs my own gentle rhythms from within. I now only listen to the music produced by Glorious Music and Chris James and wow what a difference it makes, completely unimposing.

     3. Neither had I Joe, now when in shops for a while where loud mainstream music is being played I start to feel uncomfortable too and I am relieved when I leave.

160. On their latest album “Heaven’s Stairway” there is a track called “Be you and live you way” sung by Michael Benhayon, if we allow ourselves to truly listen to the real & sweet quality of Michael’s voice. Glorious Music has taught me that there is so much to unlearn about music today, like the endless heralding of ego that promotes & drives the emptiness of the industry.

     1. Very true lucindag. Egos rule in much of music making. Bands become successful, fight over money and ultimately disband because they have achieved a level of comfort they can accept. None of it is done for humanity and that is one huge difference when compared to Glorious Music. Michael Benhayon does not play a single note for himself.

        1. Indeed Jinya, within the industry, performing is all about bringing identity to the fore, selling ego. What Glorious Music, Michael & Miranda Benhayon have shown me is that there is a different way to express and celebrate, full of the joy of simply being ourselves, inspiring an equality that invites everyone to en-join.

        2. Beautifully said Lucinda and Jinya. This is true music, here for humanity once again, sung and played by musicians who know that every note belongs to every one of us.
           The emptiness of the dominant music industry and its self-serving agendas have been laid bare. This music has changed my life and that of so very many – Heaven’s words and notes here on earth, for all… the deepest Joy.

161. Thank you Harrison. Reading your blog gave me a little more insight in the musical world and what happens in there. What you shared here: ‘Underneath every bit of criticism and technical advice is “you have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” and “if you don’t play this certain way, you’re not doing it correctly.”’ really made me feel how you are being trained to play in one way and not your own way and what is natural to your body and expression. That is huge! Every time I see Glorious Music perform that is what I am deeply amazed by, that Michael Benhayon plays in a way that his body is flowing and it is beautiful to watch, no constriction there at all. And that is what is felt too in his music.

162. Harrison, I am deeply inspired by YOU and Glorious Music. I love that someone years younger than I am is wise enough to truly listen to their body and make different choices to support what is required in the moment. Thank you for this reflection.
     “I knew that this was a lifestyle I could not sustain and that my self-loving choices were re-connecting me back to an innocence and simplicity that I hadn’t felt since childhood, which I deeply missed. I longed to breathe me again. So I decided to make some changes and the music that I was listening to was one of them”.

163. When I listen to Glorious music I can help but sing and dance. It puts a smile on my face and opens my heart.

164. Thank you Harrison. I have found that when I listen to Glorious Music, unlike other popular music, I do not move into any emotional response to the music, within my body, I am completely left being me. I know this happens, as when the music stops, there is no ‘drop’ effect I feel, I am the same ‘me’ with the music on and the same feeling of me when it is turned off. This I find is quite extraordinary.

     1. Beautifully said Johanne. I like your comment “when the music stops, there is no drop effect”… so true! Glorious Music is going to revolutionise the Music Industry!

165. Hi Harrison, I can totally relate to what you’ve shared here. When I first listened to Glorious Music my first thoughts were “ugh, surely this music won’t make me feel good.” I was used to listening to music that could take me away with it’s sounds or words, lift me up or allow me to wallow in the sadness I was feeling because I wanted to wallow. So my first impression was the music was boring. I had heard others saying how much they enjoyed the songs on the albums so decided to listen to the lyrics and see how I felt about those. Simply they took me to a place music had never taken me before. That was back to ME. The music out there always took me away somewhere or into a darker place by my choosing because it was so relatable and in a way a comfort. Glorious Music on the other hand didn’t take me any where but back to my inner heart to feel a part of me that I had longed to feel again, a place I missed. Sometimes it brings tears but they are tears of joy of coming back again to a love I can feel within. When I’m back in this place there is no further longing, just a being-ness of the power and love of who I am. There is nothing out there today that I have found is like this music. Glorious Music is Amazing!

     1. Beautifully expressed Elizabeth Khalu. I can relate to, and agree with, every word you have written on your comment regarding Glorious Music.
        “Sometimes it brings tears but they are tears of joy of coming back again to a love I can feel within. When I’m back in this place there is no further longing, just a being-ness of the power and love of who I am”.

     2. I had to laugh as I read this Elizabeth. I used to LOVE miserable rock, sung by tragic men who looked like they were on the verge of starvation…and needed a good bath and hair washing. Oh! The indulgent sorrow…a pity party set to rocking electric guitar licks and enraged drumming….

166. So much of music is championed for its emotional content and its ability to evoke emotion in another without us stopping to ask what effect that is really having on us all.. I love how Glorious Music isn’t about emotions, they are really amazing tunes and vocals sung and played simply with love.

167. Music that does not impose or emotionally stirr you up is such a difference. Just glorious to listen to and feel music that only supports me in being me.

168. I love Glorious Music, it is so unimposing and supportive. I love to sing along with Miranda Benhayon and dance around the house to Michael’s music. I reclaim a playfulness and a joy of being in my body.

169. Glorious Music is a world leader in the music industry. Amongst the plethora of music that is available, they set the standard for music that truly represents the sound of heaven.

     1. Well said Vicky – their sounds are truly heaven!

     2. This is why it sounds sooooo good and you just want more of it. I love seeing Glorious Music live, the instruments and singing are all so powerful and delivered with absolute ease and joy. The usual need from the group to get their music and for the people to like it is no where to be seen or felt. Simply just incredible music that is echoing the Joy that Glorious Music live in every moment. Who wouldn’t want more of that?

170. “For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.” Glorious Music and that of Chris James are now the only music I listen to intentionally as they don’t impose, just let you be, as you say Harrison.

171. In the past I did use music to support my emotional state of being. For example: when I was depressed I heard some dark songs and felt confirmed. And I was. But what kind of music (and what kind of energy) is that, which likes to hold me in a bad mood? A lot of music does confirm what we are not, just because the one who is playing and/or did create this song is not him/herself – so how could they support what they are not living? I found till now a very few people on this planet who are living themselves and playing music just to express what we truly are. And it is a Grace to have them. They are the role models for a new era of true music. Find a few examples here (free music to enjoy and download): unimedliving.com/music/free-music/free-music-to-enjoy.html

172. I love your honesty Harrison, it is very refreshing. When I listen to Glorious Music my whole body tingles and I feel such joy in my body. Feeling this was enough for me to no longer choose to listen to other music.

173. I have been watching some videos of my old ‘favourite drummers’ recently and seeing how they play, the music industry has made its living out of a contracted version of playing music. The biggest difference is in the energetic quality. A lot has been done about tempo, dynamics, structure and styles in music, but the energetic quality that is produced is all the same; there is contraction, emptiness, hardness, aggression and manipulation. There is no true joy in any of this. Glorious Music is the leading band in the world, because they make their music about energetic quality first and foremost. After listening to the two I can say I am definitely surprised at how different they are. I spent many years searching in music for my true passion, all to learn that I had it and it was robbed when I started to align more with the ‘conventional way of playing’. This world has a lot to answer for in terms of its irresponsibility.

     1. As you say Harrison “This world has a lot to answer for in terms of its irresponsibility” and it is not just with music. However music is a great starting point from which to discern how we are affected, as most are unaware that music enters their body and at some point in time they suffer the energetic outplay if the music is not divine. There are very obvious consequences of food poisoning; music poisoning is far more insidious in the body.

        1. That is a great point Anne. I feel it is also worth noting just how many different places play music and just how bizarre it would seem if they didn’t. It has become accepted without question and yet we remain oblivious to the energetic bombardment we receive from it.

     2. It does Harrison. I have had the joy of watching you and Michael Benhayon play drums. It is nothing short of absolute delight. You both move with such lightness and freedom. There is no assault on the drum kit, or the listeners ears. The quality of the sound and the rhythm you produce is superb.
        You are both revolutionising music and drumming. One day there will be young players who come to you both for tuition, knowing that the traditional teaching is way off. The fact that you and Michael will continue to have such freedom in your bodies as you make amazing sound will inspire many people who will follow.

        1. Hear, hear Rachel. Drumming, instrumental playing and singing has been completely revolutionised here – or rather, restored to a true way of expressing musically that offers nought but true connection, confirmation and evolution to the listener if they so choose. Nought is imposed, nought comes from the seeking of recognition or need to ‘prove’ one’s ability. This is God’s Love expressed for all from those who know that true music belongs to every single one of us.
           As the lyrics to Glorious Music’s “The Kingdom” go: “the time has come for everyone to know” Boy, has the time come for the music of Heaven to be heard on earth once more, and there is so much yet to come. Wow, and onward…

        2. That is inspiring to read Victoria. In very human terms the musical revolution is setting people’s bodies free from a very limited way of playing. So many musicians I know suffer from physical pain that can be very severe and limiting on their quality of life. I have met singers who have jaw problems and /or vocal chord problems from forcing their voices. They tend to shrug it off as just something that happens, to be put up with for their music. People like Harrison and yourself are showing that we do not need to suffer for our art, and that music can feel as beautiful in the body as it sounds to the ears.

     3. harryjwhite, you touch on something key here, as you say it has been in you all along but you abandoned your natural way of playing and your joy to conform to what the world was asking of you in order to have a shot at succes or even stardom. It is a dangling carrot that never ever gets eaten and tastes sweet too. Even if you get to it, it will leave you with a bitter aftertaste in your mouth as you know the sweetness of your natural way of playing. yes the world has a lot to answer for, and so do we for choosing to leave behind what we know is true from within.

        1. Yes this very true Carolien. I definitely abandoned my naturally joyful and powerful way of playing to fit in more with the way music is constructed by mainstream educators and musicians.

        2. What you share Harry shows the cycle we create that slowly but surely spirals down as we all learnt to abandon who we are and adjust to our environment. it is a road that leads us further and further away from the truth of who we are creating a world of hurts (literally) and behaviours that make it increasingly difficult for one to return or even see the truth of who we are. Without Universal Medicine most of us would still be on that road.

174. Glorious Music is so easy to listen too and for me brings up the simple joy I feel to celebrate the sounds that feel so familiar. Harrison I look forward to when you release an album.

     1. Me too – from reading your blog, Harrison, I know your tenderness will hugely serve and support people.

175. It has been a natural progression for me and not one that I have consciously made, but I have stopped listening to other music. I don’t listen to much music at all, as I enjoy the freedom of simply being with me, in my stillness. But sometimes I enjoy turning on Glorious Music, to confirm the joy or connection or aliveness I am feeling, or perhaps to help me through some difficult feelings; each song has a specific healing purpose. When I am working or writing at my computer and I hear the sounds of our neighbours who love to party drifting in at my window, I wonder why I feel a slight aggravation. I stopped to feel this recently and discovered that the music imposes on me and trys to draw me in to something, to distract me, to actually change the rhythm that I am expressing as I write… which I don’t want! Sound is very powerful and I am discovering that it is wise to use it purposefully.

176. I love your description of how Glorious Music is so sweet, how it nurtures you in your body and leaves you free to enjoy the sounds and observe your own feelings. I have learnt that often when I hear a new album by Glorious Music, the songs may not really speak to me straight away. I leave them for a bit, then come back to them. And what I have found is that when I am ready, my body opens up to them and then I can really receive them. And what comes next is so delightful: I receive such a big healing when I get the full impact of the song, its rhythm, its lyrics, the quality of how the tones are played or of the voice of the singer, how this feels in my body. I then listen to that song again and again, singing along in the car, until it is enough…. And then another song speaks to me.
     Some songs have literally stopped me in my tracks, they have brought such strong healing to my life. I feel that Glorious Music has great purpose in what it brings to humanity and I have sincere appreciation to Michael, Miranda, Emmalee, Serge Benhayon for bringing it to us all, for our healing and return to who we truly are.

     1. emmadanchin this is so true, at times I can’t listen to an album or a particular song and then at some point it is the only album or song that I want to listen to. The beauty and grace I hear when listening to Glorious Music can often bring tears to my eyes.

177. It is interesting to hear your reflections coming from being a musician yourself Harrison. How you observed that the usual associated lifestyle just wasn’t true for you. How beautiful that through the inspiration of Glorious Music, you were able to stay true to what you felt, let go of how you were taught music ‘should’ be and really enjoy listening to and playing music that allows you to be yourself.

178. I agree Brendan and listening to Glorious Music is a celebration of life

179. I want to thank Glorious Music, Michael Benhayon and his familiy for the amazing work they do in bringing divine and true music to the world. What a blessing for humanity to have a new imprint of music which is not emotionally harming and imposing.

     1. I agree Janina, I thank Michael Benhayon and the Glorious Music musicians for their unwavering commitment in sharing music from heaven with the world.

     2. I too would like to thank Glorious Music and the Benhayon family for the way they live and love everyday as it makes their music heavenly. I would also like to thank Chris James as his work helped to clean out my ears (so to speak) and opened the way to feel all music with more honesty and clarity.

180. This is true Brendan, music is all around us and we tend to become a little deaf to it or ignore it but shutting it out in a way that we do not notice it anymore does not mean we are not affected by it. On the contrary I would say.

181. Harrison thank you for sharing your experience as a trained and professional musician. As everything is energy, so is music. Every choice we make in a day leaves an imprint in everything we do. For musicians this means that the way they live is to be felt in the energy of their music and affects everyone who listens to it. Quite scary if you look at the life of many popular musicians! On top of that I have felt the hooks in music that want you to join in the emotion of the song or the performer. Feeling this and studying how energy works has been huge for me as it has shown me how easy it is to be swayed by nice notes and enticing lyrics when we do not feel the energy behind it and are not aware of the effect it has on our body.
     Yet Michael Benhayon lives love and truth and this is the imprint that is in his music, no hooks no enticing only the confirmation of this love and truth within all of us.

     1. This is a great reminder of the responsibility we have in discerning “every” thing Caroline because as Einstein said “Energy is Everything” and as Serge Benhayon as presented “Everything is because of Energy”… and in this regard, all music comes with energy, so the question is, what energy are we choosing to listen to…?

182. I usually drive to work in the thick traffic with Glorious Music playing, with me singing from my heart, leaving an imprint of love on the road that I have just traveled on, a blessing for those that are behind me, or around me.

183. Beautifully expressed Harry… I also found when I first started listening to Glorious Music that I passed judgement based on the ideals I had been taught throughout my schooling about music… But one day at work when someone else was playing their “mainstream” or “cool” music instead of the usual hand selected Glorious Music and various artists, the whole place felt empty (and was literally empty, which is very odd especially on a Sunday). I felt much more anxious and unsupported in a place that is usually solid for me… and when it was changed back to the Glorious music songs the cafe immediately shifted to its usual bustling self within about 10 minutes… And from that day on (I guess you could say) I relinquished my idealistic views towards music… and the tensions I held when hearing Glorious music play at the cafe slipped away, cause I knew that whatever it was doing was amazing and everyone who sat in that cafe, conscious of it or not, knew it too…

     1. This is beautiful Jaya! Truly amazing.

184. My music collection used to be extensive, covering multiple genres, but I was always aware of the effect that listening to it had on me. Unbeknown to me then I was feeling the energy of the music. I understood the reasons why sometimes I’d choose to listen to a particular artist or style and sometimes another. At the time I did this as I used many things in life to make me feel one way or another and in so doing avoiding the truth of what was happening for me at that time. In gaining a greater understanding of this I also chose to not listen to music for this reason and found that this meant that my music collection had to go. I knew that it came laced with the energy to have a particular effect on me.

     The music from Glorious Music has been a Godsend – truly. I can feel that there is no imposition from this music, just a joyful confirmation of all that I am naturally with nothing added and nothing taken away. A massive thank you and huge appreciation.

     1. The simple act of being honest with ourselves about the effect of music and why we choose it is so powerful and transformative. Glorious Music has no agenda; it simply offers up an invitation to accept that we feel everything and can develop our awareness of this if we stop running, hiding, avoiding and distracting (all of which take a lot of time and energy!)

     2. Well said Michael. I also had an extensive music ‘collection’, and lived, breathed, played and sung an ‘extensive’ and hugely varied collection of musical repertoire most days of my week – of music that did not take responsibility for its energetic impact upon others, music that suited emotional states, lyrics that only embedded us as less than the grandness of who we truly are… Though I had ‘refined’ my repertoire (including with teaching) greatly over the years, in order to ‘lessen the impact’, it was not until coming to the work of Serge Benhayon and his teachings on music – back to the fundamental truth that all is energy – and the music of Chris James (in collaboration with Serge) and Michael Benhayon that everything truly changed.
        This music leads the way forward for humanity in all that musical expression can be. It will be celebrated for hundreds of years to come, and it is the greatest joy to connect with it and allow its expression from one’s body and being – knowing that every note and word belongs to everyone, equally so. There simply is no ‘going back’, as Harrison has confirmed, once one knows this – whether listening, singing or playing. And how Great this fact truly is.

        1. Wow, Victoria there’s a blog there in what you have shared so absolutely.
           Very inspiring to read.

185. Glorious music is glorious in our body as well as our ears. It wasn’t until I heard Glorious Music that I began to understand how ‘grating’ music can be in my body, to the point that in some shops playing music I notice myself bracing. The wisdom and healing Michael Benhayon shares about Music is world changing and one day will be recognized as a turning point in all arts.

     1. Yes Danielle, and check out the bodies of most of our successful musicians.. they are hard and completely contracted. What kind of music is really produced with bodies that are like this? “Glorious Music is glorious in our body as well as our ears.” I agree

        1. It’s common for musicians to have chronic or severe imbalances in their bodies, from holding the instruments in such a tense or contorted way. This doesn’t make sense to me, because why would one continue with playing an instrument in a way that was physically punishing or attacking their body. What type of music is being produced if this is happening in the body, or is it the energy that is being played through the music and therefor the magnification of this energy through the body that is having the crippling effect on the body. So fascinating.

186. Hi Harrison. Thank you, this is awesome sharing and great that you allowed yourself to feel how confirming Glorious Music is in your body and as a result were able to let go of the ideals and beliefs of what music has to be like. I must say I have watched you play some of their songs and it is a real pleasure to see how much joy there is in your body.

187. I have found different Glorious music songs stand out at different times, and when I listen to the lyrics it becomes clear as there is more going on than just listening to a song.

188. And now when I do hear some of the music I used to listen to or hear what is popular at the moment, I am astounded by the lyrics. If you were to write them down and read them out, they sound so ridiculous. Yet when put with the correct guitar chord that pulls on a certain heart string we seem to accept them.

189. Beautiful description Harry. When I first heard Glorious Music I wasn’t that impressed either and then one day I bought an album and listened to it in the car. I still wasn’t overly impressed but it grew on me. It was the only CD I had in my car and my car is generally the only place I listen to music. So by default it became the only music I listened to for a while. When finally I did listen to some other music I got a big shock. I then felt that same emotional pull you describe and how the music pulled on my emotions. I used to think this was a good thing as the music was helping me feel things, but now I see that is just rubbish and that it is hugely imposing. With Glorious Music I am given the space to be me and I often feel inspired.

190. I agree Natalie, the glory of Glorious Music is that the lyrics speak directly to the inner heart while the music communicates with the body and soul, deeply, profoundly, with so much love and joy, yet without any imposition.

191. I love Glorious Music. It has supported me to discover how much joy I have inside me when I dance being supported by amazing melodies, rhythm and beats which doesn’t bombard me with emotions but supports me to bring out more of who I truly am.

192. “Underneath every bit of criticism and technical advice is “you have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” and “if you don’t play this certain way, you’re not doing it correctly.” These are ideals and beliefs that I took on about playing music and every piece I listened to came under the scrutiny of my own mind, mostly to get approval from my drum teachers and every fellow musician who I looked up to.” Thank you Harrison for exposing so honestly what ideals and believes exist in the professional music scene.

193. I am a total fan of Glorious Music and I adore Michael Benhayon and his way of composing the albums and in the same time playing different instruments. I love the voice of Miranda Benhayon, the strength in it and the confirmation. I love the different styles of music Michael Benhayon produces. I love the energy in this music which is sweet and powerful, comfirming my rhythm and inviting me to surrender.

194. The music that asks you to be in a certain mood is full of emotional hooks that the human spirit loves. It gets off on the highs and lows of emotions and it can be said that the musician is exercising control over the listener. Ultimately, until we need to stop being stimulated in this way, humans will continue to seek out emotional music and being controlled.

195. There is a lot of peer pressure for kids to know the latest songs, in a way its forced upon them. Having Glorious Music as the alternative with lyrics that inspire and connect you back to your heart is a God send.

196. “Underneath every bit of criticism and technical advice is “you have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” and “if you don’t play this certain way, you’re not doing it correctly.” ” This is a great sentence Harrison and one that although I am not a musician I can relate to. How often are we shown in life that if you don’t fit in you won’t be successful or ‘make it’ in life. So we learn to play the game become model students and all the time we are loosing our natural essence of how to be ourselves as we conform to what the outside world is telling us. Music is the same, there are so many experts that think their way is the best. Glorious Music does not try to conform to the latest trend or have any need for recognition or become famous, it offers a respite from so much of the music around these days. Once I have listened to one of their songs anything I then hear on the radio feels harsh to my ears. Glorious Music have the ability to play songs that are not imposing, even when playing rock music it feels absolutely Glorious.

197. This is so lovely Elizabeth. It shows that the beauty of the love in this music is timeless and accessible to all.

198. You are a super wise young man Harrison White and I appreciate you sharing your experience with music with us all. I had a big issue with music as I just had it down loading in my head and repeating and it affected my sleep big time. I feel blessed to know Michael Benhayon and know how he actually lives and it is this QUALITY that comes through every single instrument he plays. When I listen to anything from Glorious Music I feel like its coming from heaven and my body does not react or go hard.
     Michael Benhayon is an ordinary man with extraordinary talents and skills. He has a wife, two children and a full time job. My question is how on earth has he got so many albums out there and is in his early 20’s?
     Gosh we need to study him so that we can help out the music industry which is going way off the radar with the type of music currently being produced.

     1. Yes it is quite amazing, My body does not react or go hard when I turn on a song by Glorious Music, I’m offered a space to actually expand and FEEL my body. And it is quite amazing how Michael Benhayon is only in his 20’s and has released 10+ albums of high quality music!

199. Harrison – this is a simple and very powerful blog told from the perspective of a professional musician. Identifying exactly what it was that you were about to embark on and how the way you had been trained served only to encase you in a way of thinking and feeling and ‘striving’ to technical and emotional heights (or, in truth, lows) was definitely a wonderful miracle. Here you are now not only listening to but also playing the Glorious Music and bringing us the magnificent experience of you, your clarity, your knowing and your expression of love. Thank you for this blog and for discovering the truth of music.

     1. Thank you Deborah that’s a wonderful compliment. I certainly feel I am playing my truth when I play music by Glorious Music!

200. Harrison when I reread your blog this morning, it reminded me how Glorious Music leaves us just to be who we are, not imposing on us, and beautiful to listen to. It also reminded me of how I too have a responsibility not to impose on others.

201. Well said Harrison – “when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body”. I can second your experience here. What I have noticed is that depending on how my day has gone, I will look to different types of music – sometimes it’s what’s in the charts, sometimes it’s something from ABBA or something old that I can sing along to – but no matter the type of music it always magnifies what I’m feeling, whereas through your explanation and my experience, Glorious Music’s songs don’t seem to influence my moods as much.

     1. I have experienced the same Jessica, it is as if we are hungry for the emotion and want it confirmed or enhanced. I remember looking for the sad song to have an outlet for my undealt with pain but it never helped me to heal the pain. Where as Glorius Music’s songs have helped me heal through the confirmation of who I truly am.

        1. Exactly Carolien – “it is as if we are hungry for the emotion”. It can actually feel like music is filling you up for a period of time – be that of happiness, sadness, regret etc. But is this real or just artificial?

        2. I think you have answered that already Jessica, and I know of other peoples experiences where there mood has been changed by the music they were listening too. We take this for granted, or as normal but when we stop to think about it how much choice do we actually have in this change?

     2. Yes it’s really interesting Jessica. I used to listen to many types of music, and would tell you I loved them all, it wasn’t until I started to listen to Glorious Music that I realised I was very inconsistent with how I was feeling and a lot of the music I was listening to was influencing my moods a lot! Glorious Music has actually helped me when I have wanted to feel clear and feel like myself.

        1. “A lot of the music I was listening to was influencing my moods a lot!” – I can so relate to this Harry

202. I used to be proud of my “sophisticated” taste in music, but, like you say, Glorious Music is energetically so clear and loving, and I am so very aware now of the emotional hook that all that music, that I used to like so much, is putting into me. That’s why it is so attractive to people, it gives them a real emotional experience.
     I love Glorious Music – it resonates with the true, beautiful, innocent me.

203. Great comment, Samantha – “Every beat seems to have meaning and purpose – and that is to remind us all of we truly are.” I can also feel the deliberateness of each instrument, melody and tempo in response to what is needed for humanity to reconnect to our heavenly power.

204. Harrison what a great blog. I enjoyed Glorious music but it took a while to let go of my favourite bands. Over the years though I could feel how Glorious music supported me to stay connected to my essence, while other music hooked me into emotions and feelings of being checked out and not present with myself or the things I’m doing. I now only generally listen to Glorious music and I’m still getting hidden messages from the lyrics. Watching the Band play is also such an amazing time and everyone is so joyful, no one needs to drink or stage dive, just a great time had by all with non-imposing music.

205. I have become more aware of how music affects me. Different songs really do come with different energies that can change my mood. I must admit I don’t listen to much music anymore because of the way it just seems to get stuck in my head.

206. Harrison thank you for your beautiful blog. Glorious Music is indeed ‘Glorious’ there is no imposition and imposing energy and no emotional hooks which I have felt coming from many other forms of music and it is so clear.
     Every beat seems to have meaning and purpose -and that is to remind us all of we truly are.

     1. That’s what I love samanthaengland. It does feel like there is so much purpose to every note and lyric created. These songs will assist so many people over the next few thousand years to connect them to who they truly are. What a great service to humanity.

207. This is wonderful the way it exposes what is underneath the way music is currently taught and played. I would have thought that most people who start to play music do so to express and be creative but the underlying self-criticism and worry about being liked and successful completely kills the joy of musical expression that should be there. Glorious Music is unique. Each song has a quality that brings awareness and self-healing and returns me to my soul. Instead of being taken into emotion, I am left feeling full in myself.

208. In my family we Love to also listen to Rachel Kane’s Girl To Woman Song. I can tell how the Women feel so inspired and nurtured by the Song. How different, appreciative and Honouring are the songs that are impulsed by our hearts. They are the only songs that are non-imposing, not asking to do anything, just simply offering 3 minutes of letting go and surrendering to the amazing beings we are.

209. I agree, music is all around us so much of the time and there are times when we are literally bombarded by music like in shopping malls. It’s a proven fact that music affects us emotionally and is why it is so widely used in marketing and advertising due to its ability to enhance customer arousal and affect. Unless we are awake to what’s going on we get played like puppets, pushed and pulled in every which way by our emotions, luring us into a vast sea of brands and products and consumerism, and always underpinned by a promise of making our lives more complete.

     By contrast my experience with listening to the works of Glorious Music is that there is nothing manipulating about it whatsoever. Its energetic clarity really supports me in confirming and celebrating who I am, and what a glorious experience this is.

210. Harrison your experiment with music – listening to Glorious Music versus regular music and feeling the emotions the latter would arise – makes me think of how many of us are in our teenaged years (and often beyond) when we often use music to match our moods, or evoke or fuel a certain emotion, whether it is romance, yearning, sadness or anger. And that reminds me of advertising, which often uses music to manipulate a response – to recall a product and buy it, days, months and even years down the track. What then is regular music asking us to buy? I’m thinking as I write this that we can in fact be quite owned by music, without even knowing it.

211. ‘I longed to breathe me again.’ What a wonderful line, encapsulating the yearning we feel deep inside when we’re missing ourselves. Not ‘breathing me’ is painful, for how can we be at home within ourselves if we’re breathing something else?

212. I agree Brendan. When I hear music there is almost always a strong, penetrating emotion that comes with that music and it feels like somebody is hitting me on the back of the head once, twice, again and again. I find this kind of music very unpleasant.

213. When I have listened to music in the past, it would make me feel better but only temporarily before I would feel a deep sadness/grief. When I am not myself these says, Glorious Music supports me to let go of any emotion that I may be holding on to; the music is deeply healing.

     1. I’ve experienced that Caroline. Being a bit out of sorts and staying in that because of the music I was listening to. But if I can make the choice to reach for Glorious music then it supports me to let go of the funk I’m in and to stop, reconnect. Such powerful music.

214. Glorious music does not impose anything on you, it simply celebrates and confirms you in your truth, that is why I enjoy it so much. It helps me to let go of everything that I have taken on that is not me and “wash” myself clean of the day. Glorious music is not just a name, it is in fact glorious and therefore has the ability to re-connect you to your glory.

215. Those producing music have such a high level of responsibility! If we do start seeing music as energetic output, then what energy are musicians indeed outputting. Emotional release is common place with music these days, and so there for all those listening are obsorbing that quality of music. Whether it be frustration, rage, resentment, excitement, sorrow just to name a few. Thats a massive thing for our bodies to absorb, most people have enough unresolved emotional problems let alone having another layer on top of this.

     1. Well said, Natasha. This clearly highlights the responsibility we have when we produce anything, and how we pollute the world and each other with our unresolved emotions – ouch!

        1. Ah yes, big ouch! I’m feeling too the enormous self-indulgence in it all. When you think about it, being a musician is licence to indulge in your emotions and ‘self-expression’. There is nothing wrong with expression but when it’s from the point of view of the self, and self only instead of the all – and when you consider the potential for it to harm rather than heal via the emotions it broadcasts and incites – the idea of most music quickly becomes redundant.

        2. It’s interesting too how there are different flavours of music. Some we might deem acceptable or even desirable (classical music for instance) or harmless (new age music) or patently unacceptable (heavy metal) depending where our interests lie but what if it were all harmful? What if the different flavours were simply configuring different kinds of responses in the body, none of them good? The so-called ‘higher’ forms, like classical, could be every inch as harming as punk music – they’re simply more cleverly packaged. They sound good therefore they must be good but what if they too were designed to take us away from who we truly are?

        3. oo ouch, yes this is a big point to ponder on and a big point to realise.

     2. Well said Natasha and great point too that most do often not consider. We tend to go for the greatest sounding music and the ones that appeal to us emotionally but not discern whether what we are listening to is actually coming with a love, respect, care and truly supportive energy or not. Glorious Music has shown me not only simply amazing music made with care and love but also the ability to discern what music is actually truly supportive for my body or not.

        1. Hey Joshua, what you share is so true.
           The absolute way that we listen to music determines how much we take on, emotionally. There are so many songs out there that are so heavy and emotional, without even knowing they dictate how we are, how we feel in our body, how we relate to others and how we relate to ourself. Glorious music is the most powerful type of music because it comes from an Unimposing type of love.

     3. Agree Natasha, “most people have enough unresolved emotional problems let alone having another layer on top of this” from the music they listen to. Unlike food, which shows very quickly if it does not serve the body, most people are unaware of having ingested emotional-laden music which is also poison to the body and hence they continue to listen to It. Glorious Music and music by Chris James show that there is another way.

        1. I agree with what you say here Anne. We do have enough of our own stuff going on without the added burden of what certain types of music can bring. Interesting the way you liken music to food. The vibrations certainly do pass through the body and my experience is that music can very quickly affect the way I feel. What we listen to is something that’s worth considering more deeply.

     4. I feel it’s hard to fathom the damage and harm that music has caused over the years and I don’t think humanity is ready to take on the responsibility of making music that is energetically clear. There is a long way to go before we stop and feel the damage music has and is creating. Music is everywhere we go, the shopping centre, our cars, at people’s places. Music is something that is very difficult to get away from. It is amazing to be a part of the first band in the world that creates clear and loving music.

        1. The damage and harm is clear with the direct ugliness the world is living at the moment. For so long music has been poisoning our Streets, arcades, cars, people’s homes, it need to be exposed and called out, as much possible.

216. Harrison thank you for sharing your very honest blog, for me Glorious Music fills my heart it doesn’t ask me lots of emotional questions, and it doesn’t make me feel sad. In fact quite the opposite it makes me feel the joy within myself.

217. I love the honest account of your journey from the sound of Glorious Music mismatching your studies and concepts of music up to then, to becoming a huge supporter “because of their philosophy behind the sound they make and the non-imposing music that they produce.” I have found this a trademark for anything connected with Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine: absolute non-imposing, honouring the light of God within us all and celebration of the connection and the oneness between all of us. Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music does this through the glorious music it produces. I too have become a huge supporter.

218. Well said Katie and that has been my experience as well. When I listen to Glorious Music I am not pulled to go anywhere or feel anything – there is no manipulation. Like Harrison, I also struggled when I first heard their music but now it is the only music I listen to. I realised that all aspects of my life needs to support me – food, house, music, the way I walk, drive, the wayam with myself and others…..and Glorious Music supports me to re-connect to the essence of who we are all are and it feels awesomely clear in my body.

219. This is quite extraordinary in how you have redefined quality music to be first and foremost about energy.

220. I made nearly the same experiences with Glorious Music. As I heard it first – I did not like it so much. It was not perfect enough in my ears. But my way of listening has changed over the last years, with the help of Chris James (Sounds Wonderful) and Serge, Michael and Miranda Benhayon from Glorious Music. I do not longer listen from my head or belly (mind or emotional) – but with my heart. And from here sounds good what does not try to influence me but supports me in my connection to who I truly am. The Joy and Love in Glrious Music is so Graceful – I am totally thankful for every note.

     1. It’s incredible what we allow to take on from outside of us. I was always led to believe that if the singing or playing of an instrument was not note perfect then it was not good! I therefore would put pressure on myself to try and get every note in tune! Looking back this was not joyful singing; this was coming from a need to be recognised. Joyful singing comes from the body as Glorious Music is clearly showing me.

221. Thank you Harrison for sharing your experience of Glorious Music.
     I too love Glorious Music, and watching and feeling the energy and quality that say Michael Benhayon would play the keyboard in would touch me at a very deep level. The depth of love and stillness, the lack of imposing, or wanting acceptance and recognition, music for our soul.

222. This is a brilliantly honest blog and it really interests me reading this journey from the perspective of a musician. So thank you for that. My journey with Glorious music was very similar but from a different perspective. I was riddled with pre-conceptions about what music should be, but was also was hooked on the emotional “hit” that music would give me. Certain songs could make me happy or sad, they could make me racey, they could make me…well…all sorts of things…because since I was allowing myself to be hooked into it all, I was a puppet of the energy coming through the music. Now my love of Glorious Music is both the music itself, but what I really love is feeling the musicians who play it and feeling me, listening to it. Easy to see why it is called Glorious Music!

     1. Me too Otto. For a long time I was super hooked on the emotional ‘hit’ music gave me just like all of my friends; it really is incredible how when music is played in a room it can change the whole atmosphere, and everyone in it. For teenagers looking for an escape or distraction, music is the perfect medicine. At parties it’s used specifically for this purpose – to make everyone feel elevated and intoxicated in the songs.

        1. Not surprising music has been synonymous with drugs, drinking, and partying by the very essence of its hooking nature – a reliable drug feeding us whatever emotion fits the occasion. In direct contrast, Glorious Music is without any imposition – serving as medicine from Heaven.

        2. What you say is so very, very true. Extrapolate that out to all the music being played on all the radio stations, iPods, phones, concerts, tv’s, lifts, shops….the list is actually infinite. And it’s amazing to consider what we are all ‘plugging in to’. It’s actually pretty unfathomable. One day we will discover the actual meaning of the expression “getting lost in the music”

        3. You hit the nail on the head here Susie “For teenagers looking for an escape or distraction, music is the perfect medicine.” this of course also applies to many adults who ‘need’ music to cover up the un dealt emotions. I believe in the future it will be more widely accepted that certain music can have devastating effects on a person.

        4. Absolutely Samantha, music can have quite dark effects on people, particularly as a lot of music is now being made that glamourises things like depression, suicide, self harm, abuse and rape.

        5. Absolutely Susie, music is everywhere and whenever I am in a train, bus or in the gym, everybody is constantly listening to music. It has become so normal to have an earplug in your ear and to distract yourself with music. For teenagers this is their normal, to be around music every single day.

        6. I have been listening to a radio station lately and I was bowled over by how buzzy I felt after listening to some trance music, literally my whole body felt like I had adrenaline pumping through it, this 100% confirms the world of raving and ecstasy that so many teenagers are sucked into.

        7. I feel the same sometimes after listening to the radio on my school bus Lucinda; buzzy, euphoric, blissful and ‘off with the fairies’ you could say… Although I’ve never done drugs, these feelings seem similar to what people describe the effects of some drugs to be! No wonder so many teenagers, and adults actually, walk around with their headphones in 24/7….

     2. I agree ottobathurst “… feeling the musicians who play it (music) and feeling me, listening to it” is quite something and extraordinary to what I have felt in the past while I have listened and danced to music. Like ottobathurst and most people, I would rely on a song to make me feel emotional and allow the music to take control over me! Glorious Music is non-imposing and when I am singing and dancing connected to me, there’s nothing more magical.

     3. Yes ottobathurst, totally agree about the hooking of the music and how that dictated on how you would feel during and after listening to the music. Glorious Music is the complete opposite as you say, the quality you are left whilst listening and afterwards is as you say simply Glorious. Michael Benhayon is extraordinary how he can move from different instruments and they all sound incredibly. He sure knows how to rock on the electric guitar – I Love listening to him play and can’t help but get up and dance along.

     4. Great Sharing ottobathurst, thanks for that! Ive never really thought that it was the emotions that I loved in music, until recently when I have found this to be true. Some songs had a feeling of anger which I identified with, some were sad and some enticed me to “get carried away”. Musicians take pride in their “technical ability” but are totally ignoring the fact that they are only seeking emotions and recognition. Once I started to reconnect with my body I felt this was the case, and I couldn’t play with hardness or channel into my playing any more I found I had to stop and re-assess how I was living all together.

     5. Well said Otto, I didn’t realise until reading that how hooked I too was on getting that emotional hit. I still feel the pull of it sometimes of my old favourites. But feeling into it I can see that it is simply a case of me wanting to indulge in that emotion and get the hit.

        1. 100% with you nickimckee. Those ‘old favourites’ – any different from the yummy taste of chocolate? (indulging in an emotion and getting the hit)

     6. Yes Oottobathurst and music is everywhere we go these days too. Shopping centres are playing music, its even played in bathrooms in the shopping centres, so there is no escape from the continual emotional play at work. When I discovered Glorious Music I felt such joy listening to it because I felt at ease with myself and I wasn’t being imposed upon. It allowed me to just be and enjoy the gorgeous sounds played by the musicians themselves.

        1. I travel a fair bit and am now finding that music is often playing in hotel rooms when you walk in. And sometimes it takes me ages to find the right controls, right button, rights switch to turn it off!! It’s everywhere. So much so that people now don’t even notice. We have become so immune to this assault on our senses and bodies. It feels like a thick fog, a drug, a global anaesthetic on the masses to stop us from feeling.

223. Thank you Harrison for your testimonial on the profoundness of Glorious Music. What I experience when I am listening to Glorious Music is that is that I am always honored and confirmed in who I truly am, that I am pulled up to be more than what I currently live. As compared to the music that we hear in our nowadays societies this is a big difference as these are always making me fell less and are feeding the last traces of my lack of self worth I am stil carrying with me.

224. Harrison White that was so beautiful to read, and like you I now only choose to play Glorious Music. This is because I now feel very clearly how heavy most music is in our world, and like you so wonderfully expressed this music only adds to the struggle and emotions in our bodies. One of my favourite things to do is drive my car and play Glorious Music loud and sing along with all the glory of me! If I have had a big day this music also helps me to bring me back to my loving nurturing ways.

225. Micheal Benhayon and his glorious music is certainly an amazing example of what can be done when a musician gets himself out of the way and produces music to hold and uplift his audience with love and not self gain. Very much in contrast to the me me ,self self attitude of a lot of heavy emotional based music and musicians these days .Michael’s achievements so far are not short of amazing , as well as band members Miranda Benhayon , Emmalee Benhayon , and Coner Turley . The world is truly blessed by his works.

     1. Well Said Greg and I totally agree, Michael makes music for the Audience and for all to enjoy rather than for his own personal gain, revolutionary.

     2. That’s what I love Greg. The fact Michael and the band aren’t up on stage to grandiose themselves. They’re up there singing to us all to remind us to connect to our essence. Their music has great purpose. I never get sick of listening to the songs no matter how many time they go round the usb.

226. Winners of singing competitions seem to be the ones who can convey and sell the emotion of the song to the audience therefore triggering and hooking something in them to feel that emotion also. With that emotion appears to come thoughts aligned to that energy. It is fascinating but feels imposing and harmful to both the body and mind. This is something Glorious Music doesn’t do – it is emotion and thought free, leaving you to just be.

     1. Well Said Samantha, the winners of Singing contests I have found have an ability to “hook in” the audience. I know this was certainly the case with the band I used to play in. This is known knowledge in the music community and is actively encouraged. I from personal experience found this investment very exhausting and not the truth of why I chose music in the first place because this way of making music is void of all true expression. Glorious Music I have found is the complete opposite.

     2. Very true. It seems the mark of a good musician is one who can hook the best and play the strings of emotion so well.

227. Music can be used to disguise all sorts of things. Musicians can vent their emotions and listener can indulge in theirs. There’s no way out of the swamp. If music is pure energy and we hear it with our whole bodies, it has huge potential to be a tool for healing for mankind. There is a lot of spiritual new age music out there that claim this or that, but not until Glorious Music and Chris James have I heard music that truly heals.

     1. This is so true Jinya. There is so much potential for music to be truly healing. If we remove the indulgent emotion from music that keeps us locked in a never ending cycle of highs and lows we have the chance to express the natural joy that lives within us for the benefit of all. Glorious Music and Chris James are leading the way in this.

     2. Spot on Jinya – the listener can indulge in their emotions. Looking back I can see how I used to choose music so that I could do exactly that.

     3. True Jinya, listening to most music about stimulation or numbing or emotional indulgence. Hearing an old classic song can take us straight back (20 years!) to whatever emotional issues were running when that song was popular on the radio. But now I can feel that nostalgic emotional buzz is actually taking me down. Glorious Music has the opposite effect, it is inspiring and uplifting leaves one feeling truly light and alive. A great learning on the effect of music and its energetic quality, and how we can let it play us or not.

     4. You’re right Jinya, music has a great potential for healing and this is exactly what is experienced when one listens to Glorious Music and Chris James, it is music from the soul. There is nothing imposing about the music rather inspiring and confirming of who we are.

228. I love Glorious Music from the very first album I’ve heard ” The Glory of this Life”. It was ( and is) so harmonious and truly healing, not imposing, beautifully balanced. I could listen to sounds of it endlessly. I liked that the lyrics are simple, not loaded with emotions, just loving what is there.
     It is interesting to read how you, Harrison, as a musician come to listen beyond your ears.

229. Thank you for sharing Harrison how it is for professional musicians and the lack of connection that the comparison and jealousy fosters as a result of all the ideals and beliefs that have been ingrained in this way of life for lifetimes. What is lost is the simplicity and joy of sharing music that does not impose or try to hook our emotions and this is the gift that Glorious Music offers to humanity.

230. There is a very clear and distinct difference between music.

     1. There certainly is Luke, the more clearer I am with myself the more I can feel the difference between music that is soulful and has divinity in its every beat to something that is there to stimulate, arouse and generally used to help me avoid my issues. Quite simply one form of music is there to truly unit us and the other is to create more separation. I know what I would prefer to listen to!

        1. YES!, one identifies personal identity while the other has a commonality that unites us all.

231. Your right Harrison most of the music that is available indulges us in our emotions, Glorious Music offer the complete opposite of this. It offers us to connect to the sweet beauty we are within.

232. Yes, Harrison I understand what you say – after listening to Glorious Music all other music feels so imposing, emotional and undermines my own sense of self. Sometimes when I am out and other music begins to play I can feel the pull away from myself – like a temptress trying to draw me under their spell. If it is a song that was part of my youth I do at times find it quite difficult to resist, and I just walk away and I am grateful for the respite. The music of Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music brings me back to my own self and is so full of joy and love – it is simply amazing!

     1. Beautifully said Susan. It’s amazing that Michael can create music that supports us to come back to ourselves and is full of joy and love. It really is so very special to be a part of.

233. Thank you Harrison. I was trapped in music that was emotional and hooking or elating or depressing which fed whatever emotional state I was in. It wasn’t until I heard Serge Benhayon present on the energy of music that I could understand why this was so. Now when I listen to music it is only the divine and healing sounds of Glorious Music and the state of my body is left alone.

234. There is a great deal of arrogance and snobbery in the music world. There is the belief that music needs to be played and sound a certain way for it to be acceptable. This creates a great deal of pressure on musicians to ‘get it right’ and to deliver the ‘perfect’ performance. Glorious Music is breaking this consciousness by playing in a way that honours quality before anything else. This is much needed, and it brings huge amounts of love and joy as a result.

     1. Indeed Katie, and everyone adores listening to children sing. We can all feel their innocence and beauty. Why would we want to change that and get so far away from this in later life?

235. It’s amazing how much music can have an effect on us. I find that so much music on the radio feels harsh and imposing and in the end I have to turn it off. As a family we listen to Glorious Music pretty much every day around the house, when it’s on it feels like a celebration and we start singing or humming along. No matter how many times I hear the songs, I never get bored of them.

     1. Well said, Susan G. Getting bored with Glorious Music would be like getting bored with love!

        1. Classic comment. Oh so true. I never get sick of listening to Glorious music and you’ve just made me realise why, I’d be getting bored with pure love.

236. I agree with you Harrison, it is a blessing to be able to listen to music that is non emotional or imposing and asks nothing of you.

237. Thank you for this Harrison and for your willingness to explore your true self in and through music. Your comment about how self-critical you were resonates with me. I can’t put this down to years of musical training but more ‘life training’. The feeling that we have to do it right in order to be accepted in life is huge. One of the revelations in working with Chris James on his workshops and retreats is to let go of this deeply held conditioning and liberate my expression through my voice. Feels like breaking out of gaol! Great sharing – thanks again.

238. So true Ariana, each song is a healing package and a gift for my body.

239. Glorious Music is the only music that I have listened to that has not played an emotional game with me. This is beautiful Harrison and equally beautiful that you are sharing you and your music with all us too.

240. What I love about Glorious Music is that, even though it has a beat, I still feel free to move in my own rhythm. An old dance teacher once told me ‘Do what the music tells you’ and I always did, but with True Movement as presented by Natalie Benhayon, the music simply tells us when to make the next move, but we do it in our own way, with what feels true for each of our bodies. The same with an exercise class I go to where Glorious Music is playing – I can move at my own pace and that means I am not over-pushing my body. So the music is supporting but not directing our lives.

241. Over the past couple of weeks I have reignited playing piano with exploring playing Glorious Music songs on my keyboard. This experience has been super joyful and I can feel the love and expansion in my body when I play this music. It is quite different to the tenseness that I use to feel when I played classical music. I am enjoying the simplicity of Glorious Music and I feel in my body that it connects me back to the love that I am.

242. Amazing sharing Harrison. I can totally relate, the music of Glorious Music allows me to be and does not ask anything of me. I just love to listen to it as it feels so lovely in my body. Plus the lyrics are really beautiful and meaningful.

243. The songs and masterpieces of Glorious Music can be a brilliant marker for if I am fully with myself or not. When I have the slightest aversion against one of the songs, I know I need to stop and take a look at where I am. Honestly I always find an emotion like anger, frustration or self-loathing etc. which clears, when I listen to Glorious Music and my body with conscious presence. So its name could also be ‘Glorious Medicine’!

     1. Absolutely elixschumacher8. At times I haven’t played Glorious music and or felt a slight aversion to it on a particular day. It was a great marker to stop and say hey what’s going on I normally love this music. If I can break through that aversion and listen, I’m back, with me and the powerful beats of love.

244. I can understand and appreciate what you’re saying Harrison, I learnt classical music from a young age and had enough technical training and a so-called ‘ear’ for music that my first experiences when hearing performances by Glorious Music where overlaid with a similar critique. I loved the sound though and what I could feel with it and so after a short time, found that other music felt much more imposing in it’s affect. I can still appreciate the technical talent of some musicians, particularly from the 80’s and 90’s but it’s no longer music I find I can relax and let go with, otherwise the effect it has on me is not something I enjoy. Understanding everything is energy has been key to understanding and unlocking the real impact of music, and that it is in fact not a harmless pursuit as is assumed.

245. Thank you for writing about your experience with Glorious Music Harrison. I did not listen to very much music previously, and I never remembered lyrics. When I listen to any of the tracks from the Glorious Music albums it feels like we are all included, that the lyrics were written for us, and they do allow us to feel the truth of who we are, the words are simple and very inspiring.

246. The ease and joy felt when listening to Glorious Music is simply divine and thats is the beauty of the music. It doesn’t impose upon you it opens you up to the spaciousness of love and the joy of life.

247. Very beautiful Harrison – ‘For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.’

248. Its interesting how we can place what others do and say above what we feel and know to be true for us. What is so supportive of you Harrison is that you became aware of this, saw how it played out and that it wasnt for you, and honoured yourself by leaving.

249. Understanding that there is a big difference between how music sounds and how it feels in our body made sense to me. Glorious music challenged me as I really relied on music as a cathartic outlet to stir some emotion. I would use it to make me feel happy, or make me have a good cry in the end I was layering someone else’s stuff on top of mine. The power of music is profound it can anchor moments into our bodies for life. The power of music is huge and I have learnt to be more discerning about what I am listening to and who has created it – what are they aligned to as that all comes through in music.

250. Loving your honesty Harrison – I felt the same when I began listening to Glorious Music, it was a struggle to let go of the emotional identity of the other music I was listening to. Now I cannot get enough of Glorious Music – it feels so harmonious in my body and like you’ve said, I can just be me! There is no investment in emotional turmoil or relief from life as this music now confirms and compliments the harmony of how we can live.

     1. I totally agree Rachael ” I cannot get enough of Glorious Music – it feels so harmonious in my body” I love Glorious Music and everything they represent. I often feel a deep healing when listening to the lyrics. The quality of energy is beyond compare and always leaves me feeling un- imposed on to just be me.

251. Thanks for your honesty Harrison! Whilst having no musical background, I also found listening to Glorious Music quite tedious in the beginning because I too found it not to meet the technical ability of what I’m used to hearing. As well as that, I also found that some of the songs made me sad and I avoid it like the plague.
     I decided to give listening to a couple of the albums a go one day to work out what it was that I felt sad about. I realised it was about me avoiding love, avoiding feeling it, receiving it and giving it. I really enjoy listening to them now, although there are some songs I prefer over others but I definitely don’t feel the heavyness I have felt in the past when I listened to mainstream music.

252. What an awesome realisation Harrison. In music and in so many other areas we seem to find that the ‘dedication to the art’ or the need to be ‘good’ at it – completely overrides what should be the simple true purpose of doing anything – deepening our connection to ourselves and others. Music and the music industry is so completely over run with this – everyone either needing to be a star or better than everyone else, a competition, or a way for people to unload all their emotions on everyone.

     Great Blog!

253. Awesome Harrison ! People are so use to the emotional cords and ties that most music produces. Glorious Music is different in that it doesn’t try to be popular or fit in with the current music industry. It just is. I have had many people I know think it’s weird- my guess is that it’s they are so use to the emotional stuff, which is no surprise. I understand what you mean about it not being imposing, I find it super refreshing. My thoughts too are lovely after listening to it. I noted not too long ago how I don’t get sick of a song when listening to it over and over again…. Where as with main stream music there was only so many times I could here a song before it became ‘old’ and I was over it.

254. “. . my self-loving choices were re-connecting me back to an innocence and simplicity that I hadn’t felt since childhood.” Thanks you for sharing your journey Harrison especially this realisation. It confirms that once we start to make ‘self-loving choices’ all else follows and this can be life changing.

255. Glorious blog too! Glorious music is so vastly different to what I used to listen to. All the anger and sadness from the artists I once admired is now like poison in my body that brings me down and never confirms the truth and beauty that is deep within me. Glorious Music is always confirming and so much more.

256. Harrison, it sounds like there are a lot of impositions in the music industry and they can be felt to come through the music. I for one did not notice or register how my mood and attitude changed with the music I listened to until I heard some Glorious Music that left me entirely free to feel myself. Now when I listen to the radio I can feel those impositions changing me and I don’t like it.

257. I too, Harrison, have come to love Glorious Music. I too find that “Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love.” Glorious Music never imposes anything on me, does not take me away from myself, actually I find that I connect much more deeply to myself when I am listening to it, I can feel the Glory that is in me too. The music that I used to listen to in the past, sometimes classical orchestras, was completely imposing. Actually, when I was young, I did not like that sort of music, but to fit into friendships and relationships that I developed in my late teens and 20’s I learned to also ‘like’ this type of music. It was as if I talked myself into it over the years, and that was what I mostly listened to. When I listen to it now, I can feel just what it is doing to my body, and I certainly don’t like it. I can feel how bound it is by all the rules of how it should be etc., compared to the beautiful freedom of the music of Glorious Music, not adhering to any rules but so connected to the divine. When I listen to it, my body feels so absolutely free.

258. The music I hear when I’m in shops or in the Gym etc., feels very imposing and laced with emotion, it tries to suck me in to whatever emotion the singers and musicians are in. If I don’t stay completely connected to my body, I find that the music has a strong influence on me, and effects my emotions, making me feel sad, lonely or numb. In complete contrast to this the music produced by Glorious Music, is non-imposing and I feel more connected to who I am and my body and less in my head and thoughts and less emotional.

259. The first time I listened to Glorious Music I too judged it and didn’t think it was musically professional, but I felt something different, I persevered and continued to listen. I soon came to love this music, the love, the expansion I feel in my heart and whole being when I listen to it, it’s straight from the heavens and when I hear it played live it brings me tears of joy.

     1. I can relate to what you say, Thomas, at the beginning it did not feel musically professional to me, too, having come from listening to mostly classical music. But it is the loving simplicity that comes through it, obviously from the divine, that I now love. I too feel that enormous “expansion in my heart and whole being” that you describe whenever I hear Glorious Music now, I connect so much more deeply to my own innermost, it is glorious.

260. Beautiful to hear of how profound a change in music can be, especially for someone who was immersed in it as a study and profession. It’s fascinating the effect that music has and yet we get so hooked in and mostly don’t realise what it is actually doing. I’m grateful to have this awareness now, also thanks to Glorious Music.

     1. So true Sara – the effects of music are really profound – much more is going on then the pleasure of listening with our ears, our whole body is listening. Feeling the way I used music in the past to the enjoyment I have with it today is vastly different.. Thank God for Glorious Music!

     2. When I was younger I had no idea what effect the music I was listening to had on me. I listened to it because I thought I liked it. However I realised later on that I was using this music as a distraction and an indulgence in emotions. Not only this, I realised that the music I was listening too, including classical music, was actually encouraging a certain emotional configuration in my body that was taking me further away from myself. To have this awareness now is awesome!

     3. I agree Sara – most are choosing not to be aware of the deeply harming effect that most music has on all of us. Glorious music is leading the way for all to play music in their soulful loving way.

     4. I’m really grateful too Sara, I would never have thought music could harm me and yet it is quite obvious that music can alter your mood and can make you happy, sad and emotional. This awareness has been fine tuned over the years as when I have returned to my older music choices I can really feel a shift in my body and can feel how imposing the music is. It’s amazing to become so aware of the music around you does not always support you to stay connected to your essence. Music will be a big one for humanity to unpack and heal through. It is such a big part of everyone’s lives.

261. I was an avid listener of a variety of music. What’s interesting to ponder on is that I knew exactly what music to listen to depending on the mood I was in. I knew what to choose if I was wallowing in emotion, if I wanted to pep myself up, keep myself going on a night out even though I was tired or music to forget the world or my day. This is the beauty of Glorious Music, I can’t listen to it in the same way, there is nothing to get hooked by.

262. Beautiful Harrison, music which doesn’t ask you to be anything other than who you are – music about love, and it is sweet and natural and I can listen to them on repeat many times and each one is different.

     1. So true Monica, ‘ it is sweet and natural and I can listen to them on repeat many times and each one is different.’ i can also listen to Glorious music over and over and enjoy it every time and find it very uplifting and joyful to listen to.

     2. Dear Monica – it is very interesting this, that you can listen to a song over and over and not get tired of listening and feeling the songs. I have also found the power in Glorious Music is something that I have not heard or felt before. This feels so amazing when you sing along and realise that its your power expressing through your body.

        1. Yes Simone and as I read your comment I have another understanding of why – Glorious Music allows me to be, and so as I listen, I’m with myself, feeling me, it’s not asking me to do anything or pushing anything on me, and so I can just be me with the music there, and how I listen to it is dependent on how I am, not on any dictation from the music. And this is what true music does. And yes I love to sing along too and dance around my kitchen. Thanks Simone your comment has really supported me to go deeper with this.

263. When I first heard some of the song’s from Glorious Music, I also had the same reaction as you Harrison so I can completely relate to what you are saying. Although I wasn’t a musician, I realise now that music has been such a big part of my identity. I was always drawn to the music that made me fit in more with the popular gang, or even music that made me stand out as being ‘cooler’ than others. I was a music snob to put it plainly and even used to looked down on people because of their music tastes. Now I can see that it was all a cover up for the deep sense of insecurity that I had. And Im relieved to say that through true connection, I feel much securer in myself and dont need to hang onto the music to give me that false sense of elevation in society. And along with that connection to myself has grown my appreciation for Glorious Music.

264. Thank you Harrison. I relate to what you are sharing here. In the beginning I did like Glorious Music but there was a part of me that certainly did not! And its true, this music does not evoke an emotional response something that I was used to and found in music all my life. For a while I went back and forth between the two, until now mainstream music is not something I seek or even listen to if I can help it, I just don’t want it, like sugar that once upon a time I thought I loved now feels awful in my body. To be lovingly supported by music in this way is truly heavenly.

265. Love what you share here Harrison, I remember, when I had begun to be more discerning about how music actually impacts the body and emotions, one day putting on CD after CD of some of my favorite music (I had a very large collection of a wide range of genres) and discarding each after a few moments of listening because they just didnt sit right with me anymore. Like trying to wear clothes that no longer fit.
     It was a massive realization and I knew I couldnt listen to them anymore. I had grown out of the need for the emotions, sadness and longing mainly, that ran through much of it.

266. I like this part about listening to Glorious Music by choice, re-instating the freedom you have to choose the qualities of what you bring to life.

     1. Beautiful Shami – we are responsible for this. Bringing forth the qualities that we each bring from heaven.

     2. It’s interesting what you say about choosing what music you listen to. As a younger man, all of music choices were directly linked to what my older brother was listening to. He was my influence. Others are influenced by their peers, their friends, the media, what we think is cool, what we think others will think was cool…..we are a puppet even before we have started to listen. We have given our power away even before we start to listen. The door is wide open and then along comes the music and all of its imposing qualities and we are long, long lost. Compare this to my experience of listening to Glorious Music which supports, nurtures and reminds me back to who I truly am, leaving me filling richer, fuller and more connected after the listening experience.

267. When driving home today after working I put Glorious Music on. Immediately my body surrendered to the Music and I felt myself dropping into my body and actually feeling how tired I was. That’s another Amazing reason why I love Glorious Music. It is very revealing, because it is so True. Because there’s nothing imposing towards me, I can let go the wall of protection. Which feels lovely, sweet and safe.

268. Beautiful music plays in the background when I go to see a Universal Medicine practitioner. It is southing to me. In the past music and songs meant strong emotions. I was always attracted to sad music and words which I now know dragged me down. So music too can impact on my well being, this is a revelation.

     1. I agree that music is also a part of our medicine and our expression. The music we currently have is a reflection of where we are at as humanity. We are not doing too well as the illness and disease rises. As we heal our music will also heal for it is an expression of us.

269. Listening to Glorious Music can provide a healing in itself because of the love and the energy the music is made in, unlike other music that I’ve found has a ‘numbing’ affect on the body.

270. I agree. I feel this every time I listen.

271. This is an amazing story Harrison, especially considering the fact that you didn’t think much about Glorious’ music when you first listened to then being open, working on self care and then being able to feel how the music actually allowed you to be. An inspiring journey.

272. I agree Harry. I only listen to Glorious Music now too. Music is a dear way for me to rock out and celebrate – have some fun! I drive for some time each day to and from work and this is when I listen to music. Because my commitment to life is valued more than it used to be any space I have with me is about honoring and building myself – confirming how I feel. Sometimes listening to music produced by Glorious Music supports me to do this.
     Recently I have been listening to what music is playing on my old favorite dance music radio station. Wow, It’s too much for me now! It squashes my listening to the mind and my body goes hard. It’s very intense. I realize how hard and extreme I used to like the dance beats. This music can come in whatever flavor you need. Also I noticed all genres are being mixed through together now capturing all that listen. It’s cleverly manipulated and imposing by taking you away from what’s real.
     Glorious music lets you be.

     1. Yup. It is amazing to dip back in to listening to some mainstream music. The imposition is so immediate. Makes me appreciate even deeper the brilliance of Glorious Music.

        1. Yes I agree ottobathurst. The imposition can be felt immediately. Playing this way to me now seems so small and so ridiculous, Void of the true expression of joy, Soul and harmony but totally full of the need for self recognition, which has a damaging effect on the listeners.

273. Harry, love the honesty. I love Glorious Music as it is designed in a way that actually supports you with your day rather than indulges you or evokes emotions in you. I love dancing and singing to Glorious Music when I am at a concert or round the house, but say I am with my work mate or staff I can feel less comfortable. I still play it and sing it regardless but I can feel them reacting and struggling. Every day it gets easier and occasionally I will see one of my staff singing along and I will do a cheeky smile to myself.

274. How different is it to say you have found music that leaves you alone. It completely challenges the concept of what music is, for most (including me) would not even think that music affects us. Having listened to Glorious Music I can say for sure that most music does not leave me alone to be me.

275. The sounds of Glorious Music, the lyrics, the melodies, the instruments may not be judged as the most classically correct, but the clarity of energy, the way the music leaves me to be myself is unique.

276. I so agree Harrison – I love Glorious Music too! I now recognise how I used to feel listening to a lot of music, and how I simply don’t need to feel that way when listening to music anymore. There is a lot of emptiness in the music produced currently, and this does nothing for me these days. I love the freedom listening to Glorious Music allows me, and the connection to myself that can deepen when singing along. Thank you for expressing your appreciation Harry!

277. Spot on, I had a similar reaction when I first heard Glorious Music, I had for a long time listened to music that kept me in the sadness and drama that I thought was part of my life. However being open and listening to Glorious Music was incredible, it does nurture and support me to be myself “I began to feel that I had never listened to music that was so sweet and that nurtured me in my whole body.” My cynical behaviour has reduced and I would say I am now much more myself and enjoying the tenderness and innocence that is really within me. I am open to what actually truly feels good. Glorious Music is absolutely Glorious.

278. This is beautiful Harrison 🙂 Glorious Music is totally awesome, it never hooks me and always lets me be. When I sometimes put other music on, songs that I used to love, I can’t hear it or feel it the same anymore, sometimes this other music of my past hurts me so much that I have to turn it off and it’s hard to believe I used to love it so much. Glorious Music resonates with the deepest part of my heart, I love singing along to it and I find I’m deeply connected when I do.

279. Glorious music is the only music that leaves me to be and that I can remain gentle in my body when listening to it. Other music from the 90’s and 2000’s for example over stimulates and leaves me with a yucky feeling inside affecting my body. Once upon a time I would never have been able to feel the difference as I was not aware of the imposing energy that comes from most music.

280. Really interesting Harrison how it was the changes in you that allowed you to feel differently and embrace what was non imposing in music. So often, we accept what is popular or traditional and stay fixed in ourselves so this is a really refreshing take on choosing influences in life such as music.

281. Mainstream music feels like white noise to me. It has this screeching sound. I also feel that the music is based on emotions and it’s trying to get you emotional. Glorious Music is the absolute opposite. There are no emotions or white noise, just simply music that you can sing, listen or dance to. It’s not imposing.

282. “Simple sounds that are made with love…..” what a beautiful and accurate description of glorious music, Harrison. I would also add that the music, and the lyrics, also express the truth of who we are to the smallest detail. This music confirms me and all of us. Other music, as you say, dictates to us how we should be according to ideal and belief. Simple choice really…..:)

283. Even when you don´t like it, the style, the tone or whatever, it still offers you to meet you and you cannot avoid feeling where you are at with yourself – and then there is the choice to be made what to do with, reject or celebrate.

     1. Absolutely. And what this comment makes me ponder is that there are definitely songs from the GM oeuvre that I enjoy more than others. Is it possible that those that I like less are those that are inviting me to feel or celebrate stuff that I am resistant to connecting to?

        1. Yes, something I have wondered about myself and at least with some songs that being definitely the case, shining a light on areas or topics I hesitate to connect and open up to,
           and hence bringing truth to a falseness I hold on to – basically everything less then being glorious.

        2. I like what you say here Alex Braun. Spelling out the fact that every single one of these songs is Glorious – so if there is one that I like less than another, then that may be highlighting an area in which I am living with less than my everything.

284. Thank you Harrison. What I love about Glorious Music is that every track from the musical instruments to the vocals only ever confirm the love that we already are.

     1. Agreed Marcia, there is such an ease in listening to this music when we really let it in. It’s very beautiful and as you say, very confirming.

     2. I love this too Marcia about Glorious Music – They are love, live love and express love for us to know love in musical expression once again.

285. I love how you slowly came to feel the imposition of ‘other’ music and the freeing expansive feeling listening to Glorious Music. Thank you Harrison for your candid and honest blog. I also love listening to Glorious Music.

     1. Yep, I’ve had the same experience Shirl! Glorious Music has definitely helped me to feel the difference between music I previously indulged in and often felt very emotional when I listend to it and music that leaves me feeling myself without any imposition, and dare I say empowered to be me.

286. Harrison this was a joy to read. The insights you have around the ideals and beliefs about music and being able to clearly see them for what they are is extraordinary. It is a huge thing you have managed to do in choosing only music that allows you to be you and to feel how loving that it.

287. It is interesting to read of your experience of music school, it seems with so many industries that there is a particular way that is being imposed of how we should do things, I would say it is the same in the fitness industry, where it is expected that exercise should be about pushing ourselves, yet both music and exercise can and should be about connection first, the quality then comes from that connection. Simple really yet we have made it anything but.

288. Harry I can so relate to: “Words can’t describe how freeing it feels to let go of all of the ideals I learned about how music should be and just connect with the love that is present in every note of music by Glorious Music”. It took me a while also, but that was only because I was not feeling the love within myself and not truly feeling the gorgeous, playful and joyful energy that is produced by Glorious Music. Now it’s pretty much all I listen to. It’s more than just sound from instruments that you ‘hear’ – there is a quality to the sound that brings a joy to all things. I love what you said about bringing sound back to its simplicity for enjoyment – somewhere along the way we have lost this. I was watching the news this morning which has something to do with the X-Factor (which I used to watch a lot), but not having seen it for many months, I was amazed at the yuk I felt coming from the industry. It’s like you said Harry – it was very cold. Glorious Music has shown me a way that I can just be my lovely self, sing, dance and be the love that I naturally am without an ounce of imposition, judgement or ideals.

289. What stood out for me was your understanding of the ideals that we carry around about ‘how things ought to be’. Seeing these ‘shoulds’ and ‘oughts’ that I hold onto about how I think things should be, or be done, as just ideas that I’ve picked up from outside of me has been so freeing. By letting them go I’m more open, expansive and can actually feel more from my body what truly works and feels good, instead of dictating how things should work from my head.

290. Amazing Harrison. I use to listen to all sorts of music for an emotional rush. If I wanted to feel happy I had music for that, if I wanted to feel sad I had music for that, if I wanted to push myself to do something I didn’t want to do, I had music for that too. I had music for all occasions. What I did not have was music that let me feel who I truly am. That is, until I found the music of Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music. This music allows me to feel me, no imposition, no emotional charge. This is now the predominant music that I choose to listen to.

291. Harrison unlike you I have not been into music-making and therefore am not caught up with technical perfections or a certain way things must be, so Glorious Music has always felt great to me. Often a song just speaks to me, it’s exactly the medicine I need in that moment. The music puts a smile on my face as I sing or along, the words inspire, but it does not intrude or irritate like I find with most other music, except for Chris & Jenny James. I agree that it is a gift to the world that is polluted with sounds that clamour for attention and try to excite an emotion … and succeed if you are not quite with yourself at the time.

292. Harrison, I really enjoyed your article, particularly about the choices you made to connect to “an innocence and simplicity that I hadn’t felt since childhood, which I deeply missed.” And I suspect that innocence and simplicity is what most of us would constantly like to have in our daily lives. That you were able to become clearer by making changes to your life, including your music choices, is indeed a powerful testimony to Glorious Music.

293. Glorious Music is simply magical in allowing one to feel who we truly are, expansive knowing and beautiful. Singing along is a real joy and the words say so much and resonate deep within as truth.The musicians are amazing themselves and all they offer humanity in how they play and what is written really heals us all.

294. Just yesterday I had a conversation with my friend who had suddenly started listening to some very heavy metal, which was out of character, and they explained that they only listen to it when they are in a bad mood because it makes them feel worse. This relationship to music is very common and needs to be addressed.

     1. I agree Rebecca, this relationship of using music to indulge in more emotions or protect ourselves from feeling is having damaging consequences, it is separating us and thinking we can’t talk about things if they re wrong but instead withdraw into the music that has provided for us an avenue to indulge into. Thats what i have found so different about Glorious Music, It confirms to me that I have a responsibility to be open with people and the world and confirms that I am truly amazing from head to toe.

        1. I agree Harry – if we get used to using music as a way to try and cope with how we feel rather than turning to the people around us who can truly help then we don’t learn to deal with our emotions.

295. Some years back when my girls were teenagers I asked one of them to make me a CD of the music they are listening to at the time and I decided to listen to it whilst doing my rounds as a carer. All I can say is as the day went on I would get another blast of the music which was quite emotional with an under tone of anger and I got to the point where I just felt really angry, but I hadn’t reacted to any situations with my clients – I instantly could feel that the music had affected me and changed my mood.
     This does not happen with Glorious Music, in fact quite the opposite. I always feel more up lifted and positive after listening to the tracks, not depressed and angry.

296. There is a big difference between how music sounds in the ears according to the intellect and how it feels in the body. I was not aware of this difference before Glorious Music came along, but now that I do know the difference, I am much more discerning of what music I listen to. I now realise that we drink music and sound no differently than fluid through the mouth and from my experience of observing in my body the effects of music on it, frankly some music is toxic to drink. Glorious Music on the other hand feels very supportive and nourishing in the body.

     1. Me too. Because glorious music has offered for all to feel how unimposing music feels like in the body- I am then able to use that feeling as a gauge to read the energy behind other music that I may come across. To simply register if I am being imposed upon at all by what I am hearing or not.

     2. This is well said and a deep revelation andrewmooney26 – “I now realise that we drink music and sound no differently than fluid through the mouth and from my experience of observing in my body the effects of music on it, frankly some music is toxic to drink”. I too have come to see just how much music affects me and that different music has different effects if we dare to really pay attention to it.

     3. I agree andrewmooney26, you can really feel the effect music has on your body because we are absorbing it when we listen, so it’s great to be discerning about the type of music we choose.

     4. I love your comment Andrew about how we “drink music”. This is very true. Makes me wonder about the connection alcohol has with popular music, for they have been lifelong bed fellows.

        1. Jennifer this is a great revelation and no coincidence. It would be great to see some scientific results in this regard. It would be very interesting.

     5. I love the way you’ve put this Andrew- “we drink music and sound no differently than fluid through the mouth and from my experience of observing in my body the effects of music on it, frankly some music is toxic to drink” it’s a perfect way of putting it and I can just imagine the concoction that music brews up at times. Good thing to imagine before music is put on.

     6. That does feel true andrewmooney26 – that we drink music. I only need to listen to some music from a low point in my life that can take me back there within moments – perhaps not all the way, but the memory and reliving an experience is certainly the point of music for a lot of people. I feel like Glorious Music keeps us moving forward as opposed to holding us back.

     7. Beautifully expressed Andrewmooney26 and very true, we do drink music and sound no differently than fluid through the mouth and like you I have found some music very toxic in my body and so now I am much more discerning and aware of music quietly playing in the background ( like when you go shopping) and often make an intention to myself not to allow it to enter ie to drink it…. but sometimes I forget if I am not connected!

     8. So true Andrew and what I came to realise too is that some of the most poisonous music comes in the most innocent of disguises. All those calm relaxing meditative CDs went in the bin quite promptly when I truly began to feel the effects of them on my body. The quality of Glorious Music is truly innocent and leaves me and my body feeling whole and joyful.

     9. Andrewmooney26, your comment prompted me to reflect upon some of the music that I have exposed myself too and the difference in the quality of not only how it sounds but how it leaves you feeling in the body. Essentially it is the difference between drinking mentholated spirits and water.

297. It’s been interesting listening to the music of Glorious Music because it covers many different genres, some of which I normally wouldn’t like, but the purity of the sound and the complete lack of angst make it all ‘listenable’ and I love having it playing in my house, in my car . . . I’d love to have it playing at work instead of the music they have playing at the moment.

     1. That is a beautiful aspect that you have highlighted, Carmel: the lack of angst in Glorious Music’s songs. You could include that with the lack of sorrow, the lack of longing, the lack of driving emotion, the list goes on and on. But what is present is all of the joy, all of the truth, and all of the dedication that comes from music that does not ask anything of you except to simply be with yourself.

     2. This is very true Carmel, there are so many different styles to be found in Glorious music that none of them contain an imposition or emotion that is what I have realised I used to get from music I previously listened to. It makes sense that there is an energetic quality to the music we listen to, and that it is worth discerning what this quality is. I choose that emotions are not something I want to indulge in anymore in the music I listen to as I now recognise that emotions are only of harm to my body, which in in its natural state contains not one ounce of emotion.

298. Beautiful sharing Harrison, observing for yourself what feels true for you or not. Once again showing that our bodies really are the greatest scientists, I love reading how you felt pulled towards, sleeping earlier and eating in a more supportive way. Amazing how our bodies know, I remember when I started Uni I really struggled with the stay up late and eat bad food lifestyle. Not that I had a perfect lifestyle before, I had always tended to sleep late and eat quite poorly, but Uni took it to another level. I found myself really start to struggle and was not coping so I decided to listen to my body and it was miraculous, more energy and vitality than ever before. Overtime and once the pressure of Uni was over my bad habits crept back in and it took some years later before I really started to explore the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle, today I have more energy and vitality than ever before and constantly amaze myself with what is possible.

299. People with natural musical abilities have always amazed me, this coming from someone that was deaf to that calling if there was one. The marching to a different drummer comes to mind for myself. We are all part of a bigger group where every one has their part to contribute. Glorious Music has brought out the real essence of music and the truth of what is played can be felt for what it is.

300. ‘ Words can’t describe how freeing it feels to let go of all of the ideals I learned about how music should be ‘ – for someone of such an age as yourself this is such a huge statement, particularly when music is your choice of career. I enjoyed reading your experience Harrison.

     1. Great point Michelle. Music is most people’s life in today’s world and are often identified by it.

301. I love Glorious Music too Harrison. I have always had an eversion to love songs, well love songs as they are commonly known. When I first listened to some of the song by Glorious Music I thought they were of a similar vein, so I turned them off. Fortunately this didn’t last and I now listen to one of the many CD’s most days and adore the constant message of love in every single song. What’s interesting is that I never get sick of listening to Glorious Music and I hear something new every time I listen. I especially love it when a song I have listened to many times, and not really noticed, suddenly becomes my new favourite song.

302. At first I too was a little unsure and taken back by the technical quality of what Glorious Music had released. But this didn’t last long at all, minutes really because I couldn’t not connect to what the feeling the music offered me. I had space to enjoy it and there was no dominating emotion that I was trying to avoid like most if not all music has. This is why Glorious Music is incredible. Michael Benhayon has gone from strength to strength and the skills that Michael has with each instrument that he places is absolutely extraordinary. I LOVE Glorious Music and am deeply appreciative that Michael and the crew all in their spare time (extraordinary) work on each song bringing them through with such grace.

     1. Beautifully said Natalie. I too can feel how Michael Benhayon has gone from strength to strength. His music is absolutely amazing – and the fact that he does all this whilst being a full-time practitioner, devoted father, husband and family man in the widest sense of the word, is as you say, extraordinary.

303. Thank you Harrison for sharing your awareness of the imposition in the education of music and how most music hooks you in to an emotion that affects how you feel about yourself whereas Glorious Music allows you to be who you are.

304. Thank you Harrison. It is only through attending presentations by Universal Medicine have I became aware of just how deeply music affects us. It can be either harming or healing for us.

305. I played classical piano for many years and it is only until Universal Medicine that I started to discern the quality of energy that music is written and played in. When I started feeling into this I soon realised that so much music out there comes with emotional baggage that energetically pulls me into a particular emotion whether that be happy, sad, pumped or chilled. All of these are emotions and not truly who I am but something I have taken on board. Glorious Music on the other hand is unimposing, allowing me connection. It feels so freeing to play and sing along to music that asks nothing of me. It is as the name suggests, ‘glorious music’.

306. I know that I used music and music tastes to separate myself from others for all sorts of reasons. Glorious Music doesn’t allow this because it doesn’t come with any arrogance. Now I find when I play it, there remains the room to still feel the sweetness of me and therefore the sweetness of everyone.

307. I love how you as a musician describes the different ways of experiencing music – to listen with technically critical ears, and to feel it with the whole body.

308. A great point you make about how music tends to trap us in an emotion. Whenever I hear what were once ‘old favourites’, I’m immediately propelled back to that time, that place, that emotion and I’m locked in a memory for the duration of the song and on one level somewhat rung out from it by the end. The thing about Glorious Music as you say, is that it doesn’t impose and it’s incredibly clear. There is definitely more to music and its effect on us than meets the ear.

     1. I like what you are saying here Cathy that with much of ‘popular music’ today it leads you somewhere. You are coerced if you allow it into a particular emotion or place or time or attitude or even belief. This feels like a pressure or an imposition. Glorious Music however leaves you alone. It does not place any pressure or coercion on you at all. You are left free to just be yourself and choose to connect with what is being offered or not.

309. I agree Harry it is a very different experience listening to music that does not impose upon me, that simply leaves me to be me.

310. Great blog Harrison and shows that the truth to connect with others was instilled within from the get go. Singing was a major part of my life while I was growing up and what I too enjoyed was the connection I shared with the other musicians. But there came a point where I wanted more and hoped to someday be a professional musician and the connection with others was diminished. It was because I had lost my own playful connection with me and it felt yucky so I eventually gave music up completely. I also struggled at times as I have always felt the music quite strongly in my body and it would sometimes make me feel awful.
     Now I enjoy singing again and have even felt impulsed to buy a cajon drum, which I thoroughly enjoy using. Thanks to Glorious Music and to you Harrison for sharing this gorgeous blog.

311. I was recently watching some kids participate in a talent show and they were very nervous about the competition aspect, it was interesting to see the sweetness and innocence of the child offstage and the tension they were feeling about needing to go out and perform, at the beginning of the performance most were nervous and a bit jittery then something kicked in when they went into the song and they totally changed, they were riding off the emotions off the musician, the innocence was gone and it was like they had now changed, they were holding themselves and moving around in a very sexualised way, their faces changed- it was like the child was gone and they went into what they needed to be for others. When they came off stage they were a bit shaken by the experience. I saw kids get upset as they competed with their friends and their friends lost and were crushed by the experience, most who won didn’t really enjoy it, there was a sense of not being comfortable about it, all of the playfulness and fun was gone. This to me, is not what music should do, I agree that what Glorious Music presents offers people the chance to be free from the emotions that comes through music and it supports them to express themselves, not another’s emotions.

     1. I used to do a lot of singing simply because it was something I loved to do. What I hadn’t anticipated was the level of competition in the singing world and what it brought out in people – the desire to win, to be the best, to improve whilst never stopping to truly appreciate just where we are at – always on the move, looking for more and more acceptance and approval. The simply joy of singing was lost and I stepped away from it. I feel we all need to reconnect to the purity of the playful expression that music can be – for everyone – rather than the pursuit of perfection and recognition it seems to have become.

        1. “I feel we all need to reconnect to the purity of the playful expression that music can be – for everyone – rather than the pursuit of perfection and recognition it seems to have become.” Hear, hear Richard. It is so immensely joyful to sing in this way.

     2. Absolutely MW; music carries a huge consciousness with it. It seems that every song screams emotions, emotions, emotions, whether it’s heavy metal or a love ballad, and this dramatic poison draws people in and gets them hooked. In school people now walk about 24/7 with headphones in and they even listen to music during lessons, because the emotion that’s channeled through these small headphones is enough to keep them distracted the entire day, and stop them feeling what’s really going on around them.

     3. wow MW, and to think we let this kind of competition happen and let our young be involved in such things. We may think its normal but to me it certainly feels very corrupting and the cause of many lifelong comparison and competition issues that people develop.

312. This is a beautiful sharing Harrison. I have enjoyed the few albums of Glorious Music that I have and play quite often. My Grandchildren love to dance to the music, they are both 2 year olds, and encourage much joy in other older family members too who join in dancing with them.

     1. How gorgeous Roslyn.

313. One of the most beautiful things about the music of Glorious Music is that it allows me to be the true me. Right this moment I am feeling a depth of appreciation that has just gone deeper, and it is simply that Love holds all. I have heard of these words before, but now I know what it feels inside of my body. Love is just there, available to all, observing all, but it can’t choose for any of us when or whether we will even see it, or realize that what Love is reflecting to us is simply our true selves. What is deeply touching about Love is, it allows me to come to this conclusion for myself, for any other conclusion would not be true. I feel this in the music of Glorious Music and it is there reflecting Love and Evolution to us all, when we choose to see it. Listening to Glorious Music with the openness of my entire body, is a love and evolution package.

314. The consciousness of popular music is arrogant, there is the investment of wanting to change the world to become it, because it feels superior to others and it knows better, there is no love in this. When I listen to Glorious Music, it is not trying to change me or tell me it knows me better than myself, it is simply confirming what I know already who I am. I did not feel drawn to listening to Glorious Music until I made the choice to not run away from this knowing. It is now the only music I listen to, also by choice.

315. As soon as I started to read this I had an instant knowing it was written by you Harrison – this blew me away because I don’t even know you that well. I am sharing this because one of my biggest hurdles has been not believing I could do the ‘feeling thing’. If I am being completely honest with myself, I knew it was always there – just buried under a few layers of protection. Thanks for the confirmation Harrison.

     1. This is such a great sharing, Tamara, as it supports others to acknowledge and accept that they feel too. I, like so many, used to say I cannot feel but it is just not true. The more I allow myself to acknowledge that I do feel, the more I am becoming aware of feeling.

316. Music is energy. What we choose to listen is a reflection of how we are. It is interesting for me to observe what music draws me in different periods of my life. No one can force me to listen to anything that I don’t really feel to, as we all know, there are certain types of music we are just not attracted to. Which brings forth the question—how imposing and harming it is when music is played everywhere in the world, without asking us if we want to listen to it or not?

317. 3 years ago I bought my first Glorious Music cd “The Glory of This Life” while I was going through some deep changes in my life. Honestly, this music supported me through the many physical, emotional and mental challenges I was going through at that time. In addition to taking medication at that time, I felt to take walks every day listening to Glorious Music as a part of my healing, and it was deeply supportive. Even my doctor has told me it was a miracle—how quickly the recovery was, and how I am a totally different person from the first time she saw me.

     1. Thank you for sharing how Glorious Music has supported your healing process Adele which is so inspirational and wonderful that your doctor has acknowledged the transformation.

     2. Adele that is a miracle to heal and recover in a shorter time than what is expected by your doctor. What an awesome to go everyday for a walk listening to Glorious Music. I know I feel like I have had a healing when I listen to it – being able to drop deeper into my connection with my self and this being confirmed by some seriously cool music is an add bonus!

318. Being in Hong Kong where the very supportive and beautiful esoteric modalities of Universal Medicine are not easily accessible, the music of Glorious Music is one very healing support for me. It is no different from any other esoteric modality in that it brings me back to feeling myself, and the songs that are chosen to be looped and repeated, are just a more needed package from Heaven during a certain period of time. This music is love and is glorious as you have shared Harrison, and each and every time it reminds me I am that too.

319. Fantastic Harrison, and me too; I completely love Glorious Music. I have always loved music and now that there is music (with an array of genres) that actually has a tangible healing effect, is just incredible for us all to have access to. As opposed to what your words here describe: “when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fueled the emotions in my body” – this no longer has to be the way for musical sound.

320. A beautiful piece music to my ears: thank you Harrison on your simple explanation of why I too love to listen to Glorious Music

321. Harrison this is such a beautiful sharing. I can relate to so much of what you have shared. Music generally in our society imposes on us to indulge in emotions, images and ideals, to identify ourselves and as a result disregarding all of who we truly are. I know as I have been a part of perpetuating this. However as with you, in the end my body was what told me that it was time to stop. When I first heard Glorious Music I also struggled with my mind but again my body knew the truth of the love I was feeling when I truly listened, it was undeniable, and it was this truth that I chose to surrender to. I now know that Glorious Music delivers a Heavenly sent opportunity to choose to appreciate our love within, our connection to God through surrendering deeper to All that I Am, All the we Are, knowing that I am an equal Son of God as we all essentially are. I am constantly inspired by Michael Benhayon and the way he chooses to lovingly live and with this love and integrity he brings this much needed music to our society. Music is a powerful healing art that in truth is designed so we can deepen our connection to Soul so that we can heal, appreciate and celebrate the divinity of who we truly are in essence through the way we live, in Brotherhood.

     1. Really love your last line here Carola about music supporting us to deepen our connection to Soul. How gloriously true that feels. Well said.

     2. “Music is a powerful healing art that in truth is designed so we can deepen our connection to Soul” spot on Carola, and very powerful.

322. What I love about Glorious Music is how great it makes me feel. I also find the lyrics contain a lot of wisdom and deep insight into life. Sometimes a sentence in one of the songs literally stops me and I understand something clearly about life or myself from it, and it becomes a very evolving moment. It literally moves me forward. Listening to music that is fun but also holds a truth is a very different experience to music in general.

323. Thank you Harrison, I really enjoyed reading your beautiful blog. It caused me to recall the type of music I used to listen to – I was raised with classical music, Beethoven, Mozart etc., and learned piano to grade 7 with terrifying for me, examinations at the Conservatorium in Melbourne. In the teens and early 20’s it was the ‘pop chart’, and later popular movie tracks until I hit the New Age style that really had me hooked by its bliss, false and illusionary style of imposition that seemed to numb the ability to truly feel me at all. I agree with you about Michael Benhayon’s presentation in Glorious Music – I feel it aids in re-connecting me, giving me the opportunity to enjoy different styles of musical appreciation, rhythms, lyrics etc. that never imposes or asks one to be anything else other than myself. I also find the music of Chris James as enjoyable – enabling one to basically trust one’s own connection with their divine aspect.

324. There is a purity to glorious music that invites us to celebrate what is true and real in all of us. So much of the music we are presented with is overworked, touched up and multi layered – triumphing technical skills and egocentric supremacy. Michael, Miranda and Emallee bring no ego simply all of them selves and this is has truly inspired me to rise to the potential I have for so long held back from.

325. I always used to listen to very emotional music and I can see now how it kept me in the emotional turmoil I was in. When I started to listening to Glorious Music I noticed there was no emotion at all. There was nothing pulling me down or imposing on me. Amazing to feel the difference between the two.

     1. Great observation SusanG, it’s interesting how we can go for whatever music matches the emotions or mood we are feeling at the time, allowing us to indulge in wallowing or revelling in these emotions even more, rather than allowing us the space and grace to reconnect with ourselves. Music for me is no longer an escape or an indulgence, when I choose to listen to Glorious Music I find there is no push or pull to be or feel something, but instead the space to feel myself and the inspiration to take this connection deeper – and enjoy it!

     2. Me too Susan, I used to swoon to emotional music as a teenager and used to welcome the way it made me feel. Looking back this was simply a way to deal with the depression I was feeling at the time. I used to revel in the sad romantic songs and enjoy the ‘happy’ music that would take me right away from the way I was truly feeling. I can see now that this was a roller coaster that did not serve me. The music was dictating the way I felt or helped me to magnify my emotional state. Glorious Music does neither. Their music is clear of emotion and it is not intrusive. In fact it helps us to feel the reality of who we truly are underneath all of the emotion. It is pure Love.

     3. I fully agree Susan. I hadn’t realised how emotional music could be until I felt the difference with Glorious Music. I had been completely drawn into it, but Glorious Music feels completely different and non imposing, it’s the main music I listen to now.

        1. Gill I totally agree – in the past before coming to the work of Universal Medicine I was hooked into music and hadn’t really felt what impact it had with all the emotional energy that it is laced with. Then to hear Glorious Music and how it feels, as you say Gill – the complete opposite. It is extremely interesting and preferred over the emotional music. I love listening and connecting to Glorious Music, it allows me to be.

     4. I am with you SusanG, and I too have experienced much the same, using to music as an emotional crutch and yet to have an understanding now of what this was doing to body and me is huge and something that needs to be shared with everyone as Harrison is doing. What I find enormous here also is how Glorious Music supports you to come back to you if you are stressed, having a bad day or just off track.

     5. I too like yourself susanG was drawn to listen to emotional music, which I noticed kept me locked into the sadness and emptiness I was feeling.
        Instead, when I listened to Glorious Music no feeling of being imposed on was felt by the music. There was no emotion. I felt the loveliness of my own body, as I breathed my own breathe and connected to my inner heart more. Such a difference.

     6. Me too SusanG! The more emotional the better – especially when I was a teenager. I remember listening to the same song over and over and over again getting myself deeper and deeper into the malaise that was being sung about. These songs would then be in my heads for days, weeks or even years – stuck on repeat, ocassionally jumping to another one equally as cathartic – all the while keeping me held in the emotional state I was indulging in. I healed nothing listening to these songs. In contrast, Michael Benhayon’s songs inspire me and let me be. I never find myself with a Glorious Music ear worm. The songs do come to me sometimes but when they do it is always relevant to what is going on and so therefore serve to support me to let go of an issue or hurt I’d not been aware of until that moment.

326. Despite all the different music choices that are presented to us none of them allow you the space to be you, isn’t that interesting? It wasn’t until I heard Glorious Music that I recognised in an instant that this was true music, this is the salvation we had been seeking for eons. All other music up until that point had been imposing, manipulating, seductive, enticing, emotional, and entertaining but none of them truly nuturing and honouring to the being within. What is so glorious is Glorious Music shows us this truth can be reflected in all music styles …Wow! Totally mind blowing! And the quality that comes through this music is astounding and forever inspiring! Awesome discovery you have made Harrison, your joy is palpable and so much fun!

     1. Yea super true, mainstream music has a set way it wants you to be, within all the different genres. It’s used for different times when your happy, sad or angry etc. Glorious music seems like it’s ‘here’s some music and feel free to be yourself with it, don’t contort to us’

327. Music is a biggey hey – and particularly when you’ve been involved as a musician, there is so much that comes with it. Lovely hearing a young man who has another experience and can now feel the huge difference with clear unimposing music. Listening with our bodies and hearts rather than ears and musical training is a vast difference.

     1. Yes, listening with musical training is so often to criticise or to measure a musical expression against a desired ideal in the head of the listener. I find there is no fun in that, no joy: only a desire for peer or teacher approval. I experienced it as a constant drive to get a musical piece “right.” Glorious Music just allows the unfolding of who we naturally are – how we are naturally glorious. The difference is momentous…quantum.

        1. Wow what an expose from your experience Coleen – “listening with musical training is so often to criticise or to measure a musical expression against a desired ideal in the head of the listener. I find there is no fun in that, no joy: only a desire for peer or teacher approval. I experienced it as a constant drive to get a musical piece “right.” – this sounds pretty horrible. One of my sons was trained musically for years, playing nationally, until he had all he could take of the imposition of rules and measurements which were ultimately restraining and not at all supportive for the body to just express from within, but actually set up patterns of movement that restrained and limited – so he left all the orchestras and teachers – whose investment in his talent had been so, well, ‘invested’. It was a liberating moment, but very telling that it was necessary. It is a huge joy to see the Glorious Music band performing with so much ease and fluidity and space – it is totally glorious. As you say “the difference is momentous – quantum”.

        2. That was definitely a wise decision your son has made, Kate. I’ve observed many contortions that musicians assume when playing instruments. Many try to relax as they play, but the trying, to me, indicates that they are not with their bodies, not allowing their bodies to find the way that is right for them to play. The ( very physical) spaciousness you describe in Glorious Music I have found nowhere else – which has me wondering what is going on in Music generally.

        3. I know what you mean Coleen. I was in bands for many years and in all of them we would rehearse songs over and over again to make sure that each time we played it it would be as close to being the same each time as possible – to get it right. In the last few months I’ve had the tremendous joy of singing Glorious Music songs and also Chris James songs with bands made up of different people for the most part. Both times there was minimal rehearsal (in fact the second time none at all!) and yet both concerts were out of this world. The joy we felt as a band was shared with the audience – there was no separation between us at all and no-one cared one iota if it was perfectly played or not. All that matters is the quality of our connection with each other and with the audience (who are really an extension of the band – just happen to be facing the other way!) I have never felt so much joy singing before these past few months and the most amazing thing was that each time, when I came off stage, there was no feeling of elation, excitement etc. in me at all. The opposite in fact, the stillness I felt was another moment of absolute joy.

        4. Lucy, I know what you mean about how differently the music comes out when it’s about the quality of the connection with the people and not the correctness of the song. A friend and I made a couple of recordings together recently and had to make a concerted focus to jot down on our lyrics who was singing what and how, as usually we just go with what emerges at the time. It felt a little strange to follow a routine after our previous fluid approach so I’m now contemplating how to apply the fluidity to recording. We still had fun, though, just laughing at the little bloopers we made…..and laughing at the fact that it mattered, too.

           It’s very significant what you mention about having no elation coming off stage from your performances….I have felt that the association of music and the drug culture is attributable, at least, in part, to the unhealthy highs and lows of performance.

        5. Absolutely coleen24 – I would drink pints of beer on stage and as soon as I came off would head to the bar for spirits to try to keep my ‘high’ going for as long as possible. This inevitably led to all-night after-show parties which just delayed the crash. The horrendous hangovers I would have the day after (and for several days sometimes) served as a way to distract myself from the low I’d felt after coming off stage. An excellent tactic in some ways as it’s hard to be honest about how you really feel when your body is trying to recover from alcohol poisoning. I carried on playing and singing in bands for quite a few years after I stopped drinking alcohol and over time I started to really feel the harm I was doing to myself and others by being so invested in, and needy for the recognition performing in this way provided for me.

        6. Wow, Lucy! That’s an amazingly honest, and very insightful, admission to make – that you used large amounts of alcohol to maintain the high of performance so that you didn’t have to feel the drop that occurs when you are no longer receiving the accolade and recognition of being on stage. That confirms what I felt and also exposes how it is within the performance industry as a whole: based on an empty and short lived from of recognition……not good! Thank you for the awesome sharing, Lucy.

     2. I agree Kate – I always try and avoid the topic of music in some ways around young people, because it can be a real point of contention – with the bands you like and the music you listen to being as, if not more, important than who you are as a person. Its another way to separate people and place them into groups.

        1. Great point Rebecca – once we avoided politics and religion at the dinner table, now we add music to the list as it really creates ‘pockets’ of identities, of ‘difference’ ‘us’ and them. It’s like we deeply deeply crave unity and belonging, but settle for a false and limited version in small pockets of ‘us’ to identify with – rather than the vastness of all.

        2. I agree Kate, it is yet another thing that we have used to create separation rather than something that unites us.

        3. It’s been a real revelation to see this for what it is Rebecca. My eyes are opened. I had seen previously how sport has this same ‘pockets of unity effect’, excluding ‘others’ and so, the whole, but seeing how music is playing the same game – keeping people out of their inner selves and self defined from an outer identity – the separation in this is anti unity, and has no place in our future world where unity is for all, and lived from the inside out, not outside in.

328. I can relate totally to what you have shared apart from the fact I am not musical in any way! I went to university and left after the first year and knew I would on the first day, very cold place no love. I can now appreciate that choice and how honouring of myself it was at the time, I later studied and really enjoyed it. Music is something I have loved but never been that into, with Glorious Music and the album Road Gloria I could listen to over and over and over again, I simply love every track and my body loves it too!

329. I had a similar experience to you Harrison – I was a musician singing in bands and gigging a lot when I first heard Glorious Music. I wanted to love it but at first I was listening to it through the judgemental and critical ears of someone who believed that music was all about perfection. I’d stopped listening to other music at home quite naturally some time before this (even though I was so deeply involved in the music scene) and yet I had become very ascetic about the music I was playing and singing in the last band I was with. There was a huge amount of pride in singing close vocal harmonies where I even followed the breathing of my singing partner. I lost myself completely and sold out to an ideal – the result was my confidence plummeted. All this initially laced everything I tried to listen to – including myself singing to and for myself – so much so that I couldn’t get past the technical ear I was listening with. But as I let go of the idea and ideals I had taken on about what music should be and sound like, I began to feel the confirmation of me and joy in the music that Michael Benhayon writes. I have been singing some of his songs with a dear friend and the joy is palpable. This music is Heaven sent and brings the vibration of Heaven to our bodies so we will never be fooled again by the siren song.

     1. Yes Lucy, I’ve really enjoyed what you have shared here. Interesting to read about your involvement in the music industry as well. I too have found Michael Benhayon’s Music to be of absolute joy and a vibration that is heavenly, there is nothing like it in all of the the music I have heard and played in all of my time. “so we will never be fooled again by the siren song” brilliant.

330. If you listen to the words of Glorious Music albums the message is always inspiring one to be all they are and calling us all to evolve. The words do not have any self in them but are for all equally.

331. Thank you Harrison, it took me sometime before I could appreciate all that comes with music and how it can impact us. There is often such an identification with the music we get attracted to, like we subscribe to a certain image or behaviour. If we are not truly feeling it in our bodies, we can be easily taken by the music and WE then become the instruments being played.

     1. This is so true Victoria…”If we are not truly feeling it in our bodies, we can be easily taken by the music and WE then become the instruments being played.” Music can be so heavy with emotion and if we take that on, we are living that emotion and are no longer ourselves.

     2. Victoria exactly I was very ignorant to the impact music had yet at the same time reflecting on it I knew exactly what it did as listening to music would make me sad, happy, excited, depressed etc.. In some ways music was like a drug – something used to make me feel different to how I was feeling, to take away things I didn’t want to feel or keep me justified in whatever emotional state I wanted to stay in. What a contrast to the way Glorious Music lets me be and feel.

        1. Yes it can be like a drug I agree David, it can create an enticing illusory experience and then when we step out of the scene we land right back into the reality we left or perhaps didn’t want to feel.

     3. So true Victoria. I used to be very identified with the music that I chose to listen to and what came with that, with the many associated festivals. It was a whole culture. I recall many times being taken away by the music, along with everyone in the audience, which set me up for longing for a similar feeling the next time around. What I had never done was feel my body when I was out at these events. My back and legs ached (even when I was in my 20’s), I couldn’t stand the feeling of the push and shove in the audience and I felt so tired in the days following. I had never considered the energetic effect of music, the every way a musician lives is delivered through the music and received by those listening. There is much much more to music than meets the ears and as you say we have yet to truly explore the effects of this on the wellbeing of our bodies.

     4. This was my problem when I was younger. I listened and felt music from my head with my emotions swirling around. Definitely took me away from feeling it in my body where the truth lies.

332. Thank you for sharing Harrison. I am sure I will comment more about the music aspect but this sentence struck me “an innocence and simplicity that I hadn’t felt since childhood, which I deeply missed. I longed to breathe me again.” I totally got how there is a feeling from then, and a feeling we have now as we get older, and you are heaps younger than me!! There are many things that either support us to remain in tune with that innocence and simplicity or they don’t. It is so important to discern which is which and know that we always have a choice. When you talk about breathing you I can feel how not breathing you hurts the body and constricts the lungs, it is very physical which feeds the yearning to come back and breathe you again. I really connected with all of that.

     1. Absolutely Lucy, thank you for sharing. not breathing us’ does feel restricting and is placing a lot of pressure on our body.

333. Harrison, I love what you share: “… I had never listened to music that was so sweet and that nurtured me in my whole body”. The music and music videos around today are anything but sweet. Their whole focus seems to be on doing or saying the most outrageous thing to get the most attention. The shocking content, the disrespect and irresponsibility that is imposed through listening to this music does not nurture the body. What a blessing that there is Glorious Music who are not making music for attention, but in service and in love.

     1. I agree Carmin…there is so much competition and attention seeking in music just to get the fame, big bucks and profit – all for self gain. It is very refreshing to hear Glorious Music “who are not making music for attention, but in service and in love” – which is inclusive of everyone, and this intention is naturally felt in their music.

334. I too love how Glorious Music, doesn’t try and change me or pull me to be emotional. I actually find it helps me to feel clearer in myself and is a real joy to listen to.

     1. I’m no talented singer Fiona, but I feel I sound better singing Glorious Music songs than the main stream music. With Glorious Music it allows you to connect to who you are but the other kind I find difficult to sing to as it’s at different pitches and levels, like it’s not natural.

     2. If ever I am feeling overwhelmed, or not quite myself, the music of Miranda and Michael Benhayon is one of the ways I remind myself of who I am. Lyrics like “be you and live your way” let me know that regardless of what is going on around me, I can be me.

335. Hi Harrison, I can relate to what you have shared even though I do not have any musical talent. After hearing the music by Glorious Music I compared it to the music I had been accustomed to as it didn’t seem to match up! Slowly as I opened myself to what I felt in my heart, I opened to the love I could feel in Glorious Music. Now listening to it is an amazing reminder of the loving person I have chosen to be and I sing along with it every chance I can get!

     1. Beautiful Sharon! Thats amazing. Me too absolutely! “Now listening to it is an amazing reminder of the loving person I have chosen to be and I sing along with it every chance I can get!”

336. A great sharing here, Harrison, thank you. I love how you expose the way that much of the music that we generally hear is so emotional, pulling us into those emotions. I find whenever I have the radio on for a short time, if a song comes on, I just have to turn the radio off for a while, or turn the sound way down so I can’t hear it. I find it so imposing and unpleasant now. I agree with your comment “But Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love”. I have come to really love Glorious Music, it lets me connect to myself and never imposes any emotions. But I so can feel the joy in this music.

337. I can absolutely relate to what you say about not feeling great about yourself and being fueled by emotions when listening to music. I experienced the same and having been totally into electronic music my drug and alcohol consumption was even triggered by listening to the tunes. Since I listen to Glorious Music I feel not imposed on at all, it feels so light and confirming…. really love to listen to music now.

338. Recently I listened to some old music and I was amazed how much it impacted on my body after only 5 minutes.

     1. I agree fionacochran01 – it left a feeling in me that created anxiousness, like I had left myself – and I felt empty at the end of it.

339. My experience of Glorious Music is it doesn’t play you.

     1. Yes, well put, and I totally agree Victoria, When listening to Glorious Music, there is no enticing of emotions at all like one would normally get generated by listening to regular music. You are left completely free of any emotional imposition, which enables you to remain with your self. It feels like the music celebrates you, it lets you be, all the while confirming who you to the core. When I listen to my old favourites, it is then that I notice how much music has an impact on the body, its quite an eye opener…

        1. True johannebrown17, Glorious Music is always confirming and celebrating of who we are in essence, and doesn’t have any emotional hooks.

     2. This is the bomb Victoria – because it is TRUE.

340. Brilliant blog Harrison, music is a massive money making industry and you’ve exposed the truth of what is going on and the effects music has on us. Consumers are simply paying for pure emotional music, there’s no energetic quality or responsibility in this type of music. It simply cares for profit and popularity only. It’s pretty exposing. I used to support this industry, feeding into the emotional pool of energy and allowing myself to escape the reality of life and my responsibilities. Now, I choose not to buy or support this kind of music knowing what I know now. I feel extremely empowered to make my own choices and with a deep discerning of the energetic quality of the music that is produced. It is super important, as I have come to realise that everything is energy and everything is because of energy. So, what I choose affects the quality of who I am.

341. Thank you, Harrison, I now know why I haven’t liked to listen to the radio or most music for my most of my life. It was that I intrinsically felt and knew the disharmony it would cause in my body. I now only listen to music that is love to my body including that of Glorious Music, so aptly named.

342. It’s a joy to read your blog Harrison and how you came to feel the difference between music that just leaves you be and music that most often dumps a whole lot of emotion on the listener. Thanks for sharing.

     1. Sandra I hadn’t considered that music actually ‘dumped’ a whole lot of emotion on people before. I knew that it was made up of emotions but not that it off loaded it on others. If someone was shouting emotionally in the street we would cross to the other side of the road but with music we put on headphones and get closer !

        1. It can be more insidious that this too Alexis…I’ve listened to soft ‘relaxing’ music in the past and now can feel how it can send people off into a blissful kind of checkout state, so it comes in all packages.

     2. How cool for a teenager to choose to see the world as more than what is presented in front of him, and to let his own sense of what is real and true guide his choices. Love it Harrison!

        1. Absolutely Heather – as a teenager this can be a very challenging time and wanting to fit in often leads to not being who you truly are but instead conforming to what your friends are doing. Leading the way Harrison, shine bright.

343. Singing the songs of Glorious Music is such a rich and powerfull experience. The songs allow one to feel deep into their core. For years I did singing training and always felt that there was a part of me – a deep loving powerful aspect that I could feel really small when I sang – but didn’t feel I was really in contact with it. Now I know that this deeply loving and powerful aspect is the REAL ME. SINGING the songs of GLORIOUS MUSIC has opened me up to that POWER and it is soooo liberating.

     1. Yay! I enjoy that sense of freedom of expression when singing Glorious Music, too, Shevonsimon: it’s the joy of expressing Truth and Love.

344. What I love is singing along to music by Glorious Music in my car as I drive. The words, the sounds, the feel put a huge smile on face and confirm all that truly matters to me.

     1. I absolutely agree Vicky, ‘What I love is singing along to music by Glorious Music in my car as I drive. The words, the sounds, the feel put a huge smile on my face and confirm all that truly matters to me.’ Great comment, I find Glorious music very confirming of me as a powerful, beautiful, sensitive woman, most other music leaves me feeling small, emotional and powerless.

     2. Vicky your comment has made me smile too, for I do exactly the same thing. Sometimes I sing along, other times I listen. Either way it’s always joyful.

345. Thank you Harrison for sharing your experience of music and Glorious Music – there is a clear distinction. Music and me have had an emotional relationship in the past. I’m no musician and was always caught up in lyrics and tunes that had a ‘feel good’ relatable emotional energy to them. This was never a long lasting confirming experience. Instead music for me was a ‘pick me up’. With Glorious Music it is a confirming experience and one that ignites joy and I feel amazing support through the songs. A couple of tracks, are I find more difficult to listen to, but overall I absolutely feel the difference between music and Glorious Music.

346. I find that listening to Glorious Music that I can feel the lightness in my body and as I listen to the words of the songs I am reminded of who I am.

347. Harrison, what an awesome sharing – and I love hearing about how you have always been drawn to music and involved in music and found your way to listening to music that allows you to be rather than drawing you into an emotional turmoil.
     I never considered myself very musically inclined. Growing up I was not that interested in listening to music either, and though as a teenager I briefly enjoyed having a walkman and listening to music in order to fit in with my school friends, it was never something I felt to do outside of being seen with them. And I rarely played anything in my car stereo – I enjoyed the quiet, the ability to just be and watch the world. I always thought I was a little strange compared to others and felt like I did not fit in because I was not so drawn to listening to music. And so after a while I began to listen to some classical music, but I found this would make me very emotional and teary – and I was drawn to it when I was feeling off and unhappy. When I was feeling simply myself and a contentment, then I was not drawn to listening to music as I could feel how it took me away from that feeling of just being left alone. Glorious Music by Michael Benhayon was the first music I have ever listened to that allowed me to just be and music that I felt like listening to! And like you Harrison, I find it easy to put on repeat and listen to over and over again, and I don’t end up feeling on edge afterwards, or emotional nor exhausted (like I did when listening to other music). Glorious music is a gift to the world – a gift to us all, it is music that allows you to be, music that gives you permission to expand and grow as it is natural for us to do. Glorious music is about healing us and evolving us – like no other music in this world does currently.

     1. Very interesting hearing your story Henrietta, unlike you I was really into music and like Harry I wanted to be a professional but something never felt quite right, the music part did but the other stuff that seemed to engulf it all was murkier. Only when I became a student of Universal Medicine, and Serge Benhayon begun to present on music did this all make sense. When Micheal Benhayon begun making music that I could listen to with my kids something clicked into place. If all the music that I “loved” in the past was so good then why did I feel like I was giving my toddlers at the time drugs and alcohol when I put it on? It felt wrong and I have never experienced a song which is produced by Glorious Music that cannot be enjoyed by the whole family. That is truly special as most children’s artists dumb things down for kids, all my children love Glorious Music Albums and we get the have fun together.

        1. Isn’t it funny how deep within we know certain things (like you felt that letting your toddlers listen to certain music was like giving them drugs and alcohol AND how I somehow knew and could feel how emotional music made me) yet we can still choose to override this and due to peer pressure, to fit in/look cool or other reasons, we listen to music anyways. I actually find it shocking to realise how much I actually feel and yet how little I trust myself with what I feel! This is something for me to keep developing – the trust in myself and my capacity to feel and surrender to what I know to be true.

        2. Amen sister! I have found the same thing over my life time – learning to trust those little feelings inside regardless of what everyone else thinks, a work in progress that is for sure!

     2. Henrietta your observations about how you listened to music are very astute. I wonder how many of us really notice how we listen to music and how we choose the music that we listen to? I love how you said that Glorious music allows you to just be, without imposing any emotion. This is huge in the music arena, for it’s all about expunging our hurts and emotions and without consideration for the effect that this has on the listening public. Glorious Music brings true responsibility to the science music.

348. There is no denying the distinct difference of Glorious Music to basically everything else that we’ve known music to be. For me too upon first hearing Glorious Music I felt reactive to this difference I felt so strongly, little did I realise then the arrogance I was firmly standing in with the reaction I had to it not measuring up to what I knew sounded ‘good/right’. The more I observed how I felt when listening to Glorious Music, and also how I felt listening to anything else the more the arrogance fell away, whereby Glorious Music is now my number one choice of music.

349. Love the blog Harrison – nice one. It is so interesting what comes up around music – it is LOADED with all the CAPITALS with emotions, energy, hooks etc…. to make you feel a certain way, buy more albums, get depressed, get angry, get happy, get dancing, get – well anything they want you to feel. What is quite extraordinary about Glorious Music is that there is none of that – it just is. There are no hooks, no pulls to be / do anything – when I put it on and listen to it, my body is free to do what it pleases. It enjoys not being manipulated into anything.

350. Ah, Hello Harrison White and your blog is like music to my ears….possibly not the first and the last time this will be said. But what you are writing is a great point and great exposure of the power of music. I am not a musician but I listened to all types of music, to create mood, to put me in a certain frame of mind, to cheer me up etc etc. Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music offered me something deeper and I chose it. They didn’t offer me emotion or to take me out or into anything but connected me back to me, a deep connection that supports me. I have loved every album instantly with no hesitation and often put them on loop for sometimes weeks. I love feeling what happens in my body and how different songs make me feel and support me at different times. This is more than mere music because it supports me to live how I live, thank you Harrison and great to chat.

351. Thank you Harrison for sharing your experience with music. I have over the years felt the heavy emotional laden energy that comes with music and like you, I choose to enjoy the unimposing ,loving words of Glorious Music.

352. I used to love listening to all kinds of music except head banging heavy metal and heavy rock. So now when I listen to what I used to like, the lyrics seems to be so emotional, draining and sorrowful. My choice now is to listen to Glorious Music, I can relate to what Harry shared. When I listen to Glorious Music, I can easily connect to the joyfulness I feel and I dance away with feelings of expansion in my heart, emanating throughout my body.

     1. I agree Chan. When I listen to Glorious Music I automatically sing along which connects me to the love and joy that I can feel in my body as I sing. I have not experienced this quality with other music.

353. ‘I longed to breathe me again’ Glorious Music is absolutely supporting us to be ourselves again as this music has love as its foundation and there is not much music in the world that can say the same, most of the time it is all about emotional love but never love in its true meaning. Great sharing Harrison!

354. This is a great blog Harrison, it clearly presents that what is not true in the music industry. And I do agree, Glorious Music is the only music I listen to by my own choice.

     1. I like how you say “by choice” as I used to attend the gym and the barrage of music was near impossible to be around!

        1. Music is indeed everywhere, and we can’t get around it when we are getting out into the world. But it is so important to feel that that is not my choice of music, and to keep feeling what it does, observing what is going on and what the music is doing to people.

355. I appreciate the honest way you describe this comparison Harrison. This critical analysis does not talk about quality – but just if it ‘does it for me’. This seems to mean in my experience, this is just making us comfortable about the current way we choose to be. How different it is to feel the music that Glorious Music produce and that it’s possible indeed for music to nurture us back. Music carries an absolute harmony that supports us in all of life, when it’s made with love.

356. Harrison I really appreciate you sharing your experience and understanding what you believed to be your dream and beliefs around this with your choices. You’re amazing because of your ability to be open and make different choices with what you feel is true for you. It is a true blessing to share music with people that doesn’t impose,

357. Thanks Harrison for sharing your insight into the music world. Although I am not a musician, I spent many many years listening to music heavily laced with emotions that played with my heart and mind. It was almost as if the songs told me who I was….scary now. I agree that the music from Glorious music is incredibly ‘sweet’ (particularly the album ‘The Glory of this Life’).

358. I never did think much of commercial music although I did have a collection of pirated music on cassette. I had friends that would say “I love my music” and I would ask “Sing us a song” and they would look sheepish and reply “Uh! I don’t really know any songs.”. I felt that commercial music never really did much except to take away our natural ability to sing.
     I like Glorious Music though, music without the emotion, that doesn’t impose.

     1. Interesting Nicholas that when asked to sing a song that is loved so much that there was the holding back. My feeling that this is also the lacing of this music – it holds us back from expressing the glory of who we naturally are – OUCH.

359. This is beautiful Harrison, full of gold this entire piece. I can relate to what you say about much of the music that is commonly played fuelling our emotions and affecting our moods. I never went down the path of playing music but I had my favourite pieces and singers and they were a big part of my life. Now if I listen to this music it might sound good to my ear but I can feel how it wants me to change, to mould into the emotions it’s calling out.

     I love listening to Glorious Music, it is so so healing. As you say this music is love. I have it on in the car and every time I have it on I can feel how it simply lets me be. There’s no pulling or tugging, simply glorious sounds of love and joy that soothe my entire body. Now that I have experienced the quality of music I wouldn’t settle for anything less.

360. I only listen to Glorious Music as I can feel the harm mainstream music does to my body, often making me feel emotional and it imposes on my body. There is always a message in the words and I love to sing-a-long with the harmonies. There is a feeling of love and joy within the music and I often feel I get a healing, I really would not want to listen to anything else. Not long after I listened to my first Glorious Music album out went all my hard core dance music and romantic slushiness and I have not regretted it one bit.

361. Thank you Harrison, reading your blog made me aware of how much I Love all the songs of Glorious Music. Often I’ve been driving around and then suddenly connected to the intention behind a song or the words and tears were flowing. The music is not only not imposing, it is indeed very deeply Healing. My body just surrenders when it is reflected Glorious Music. Instantly. I also have to be honest that I feel I can still allow myself more deeply to allow myself to feel the Sweetness and Joy within the Music. Glorious Music definitely sets the new standard, for eternally. Thank you Michael Benhayon for being You!

     1. Beautifully said Floris. Glorious Music is indeed far more than just non-imposing, I agree it is a deeply healing experience when you listen to this music and fully connect with it with your whole being and not just listen with the ears. Because it is not asking anything of you to be a certain way, it does allow a full surrender and a dropping of our usual guard and protection that we carry around.

     2. I can relate to what you say Floris about how the music by Glorious Music helps me to surrender. It is a very beautiful feeling, allowing myself to be and to feel I am at home.

362. As a teenager I used to be the odd one, because I didn’t have any LP’s or CD’s. And later I didn’t like the music in shops, cafe’s, the gym or at the hairdresser. That changed when I heard Michael, Emmalee and Miranda Benhayon make music. To Glorious Music I can listen always. With the love they share and ooze out I feel invited to be love too and my body loves moving to this music.

363. Thank you for sharing this Harrison. To be honest I didn’t have one iota of an idea as to how closed the music community was. To be ostracised because you don’t adhere to “how it’s done” reminds me of the church and how people were shunned if they didn’t go there on Sunday!! I remember when I used to listen to music that was emotional and it would encourage those same emotions in me, or I’d want to confirm them by searching out the music that suited my mood. Whichever way it happened I was kept in the cycle of living emotionally. Glorious Music does not do this which I find totally inspiring. It supports me to connect to myself which is incredibly powerful.

364. Harrison it’s great to hear your experience of Glorious Music and measuring it up to an outside mental construct. It’s made me be more honest about how I’ve been doing the same but with a different measurement of ‘what would others think?’ So ‘is it cool?’ Bit oh dear to admit this but great at the same time. Seriously who am I trying to impress?! Another chance to really claim what I feel and who I am without referring outside of myself for permission to do so.

365. Before I discovered Glorious Music I have always found music imposing. I almost never listened to music and if I ever went for a massage or session where they were playing “musac” which is the worst I would ask them to turn it off. I used to feel as if the music was trying to tell me what to feel or generate an emotion in me and it felt invasive. Glorious Music is totally different and is not only the first music I can listen to but it is actually very joyful and does not impose at all. Also the words of the songs are quite profound and there is often a healing quality to the music and what is being presented. I particularly LOVE hearing the band playing live – they are absolutely awesome!!!

     1. ‘Invasive’ is the word Nicola. I remember the ‘aftertaste’ of emotional music, that would leave me feeling heavy, or like I needed something more… and often the songs would play on repeat in my mind, over and over, and it was very difficult to stop.

        1. Same here and I see this happen to people around me – they even nominate it, like at work, saying that they cannot seem to get a song out of their head. Very invasive.

        2. Oh, yes songs on repeat in the head, now that is something I do not miss now that it seldom happens. I used to like singing songs in my head or have a song just pop into my head and then sing along to it. Now I do not like it at all and I ask myself where does a song come from when all of a sudden it is in your head and is urging you to sing a long with it? I love how you use the word aftertaste Kylie for the music that is emotional, because it is wanting us to eat it up and then it leaves its emotional aftertaste in our body which seems to surface whenever it chooses.

        3. The trick of emotional music is that no matter how good it sounds, it leaves us with the effects of lacing our body with those same emotions. The next day we might find ourselves not quite ourselves, but how often do we connect it to the music we have been listening to?

        4. Yes, I would always have a song ‘stuck in my head’ … quite literally, it penetrates and hooks in. We have so much to learn about the energetics of music and the responsibility of musicians as well as our own responsibility of what we choose to listen to.

     2. Hi Nicola, I agree, I have always detested “musac”, music that is so often played in various places nowadays. I feel it is so imposing on us for people to play music that they may like, which everyone else then has to listen to. It seems to be everywhere nowadays, thank goodness not yet in my bank.

        1. I completely agree Beverley and it is the same with television which they now have at the pathology lab, airport anywhere that people can fill up a space. I had a friend once who could not bear to have any silence as she found it deafening so she always had the radio or TV on!

     3. Yes Nicola, the band playing live is certainly something else! I feel such incredible joy in my body and feel free to sing at the top of my voice and move my body as I feel to. Such an amazing, healing experience. I have been to concerts in the past to watch regular mainstream musicians and always wondered why it did nothing for me or worse, while everyone around me was saying how great it was. Now I understand as I can feel the truth and love in Glorious Music, not only does it leave me to be me, it encourages me to be more of me which feels incredible.

366. I only ever listen to Glorious music now and if I do occasionally tune into an old “favourite” song from the past it feels loaded with emotional hooks- it is affirming to be able to truly feel the difference.

367. ‘I began to feel that I had never listened to music that was so sweet and that nurtured me in my whole body.’ I love these words and I am totally with you Harrison. Glorious Music makes music straight from Heaven.

     1. I love this sentence too and I agree Esther it is music straight from heaven and I can feel its nurturing quality as well, it is a beautiful support to connect back with myself.

368. The quality that can be felt from what Glorious Music presents simply doesn’t compare to anything else I have listened to. Some music can make a bad mood feel worse or excite and race my body it feels horrible. And like you’ve shared Harrison I choose to listen to Glorious Music by choice as it is far more enjoyable being allowed to be with me than it is to be drawn into emotions or stimulated into numbness.

     1. … you are so right here Leigh, to be drawn into emotions or stimulated into numbness, that sums up quite nicely the affect that some music can have. I also find that Glorious Music doesn’t impose on me, it just allows me to be me, unlike some music which seems to either drag me down, entice me or take me in to a fantasy world of distraction.

369. Thanks Harrison. I listen to Glorious Music and love how non-imposing it is, and I’ve noticed that its the only music I have heard that is readily listened to, and unifying across all ages.

     1. Great point Peter about Glorious Music being unifying across all ages. This is a testament to the truth that love is not categorised into ages or colour or race or gender etc. It is our nature so it is obvious we will respond to it when we hear it and feel it.

370. Glorious Music is unlike any other music I have ever heard.
     It is non imposing and not emotional. I feel my heart open and my whole body feels the love in the words and music played.
     It truly is Glorious.

     1. So true. Glorious Music is about the only music that is pure expression and not made from the impulse of trying to produce something that someone will pay money to listen to, or to be liked.

     2. Yes lorettarapp I agree. The words and music are so full of Love no wonder anyone listening gets a healing. This is what true music is all about and how this serves everyone.

     3. My whole body feels expanded and I can feel more of me when I listen to Glorious Music, it certainly is truly healing.

371. I love listening to Glorious Music as well, as this is one of the few music that just leaves me be and does not impose any emotion on me. 99 percent of the music hurts my ears and my body, as we don’t only listen with our ears, but with our whole body.

     1. All I can say is thank God for Glorious Music! In contrast, I have allowed music into my body to play on my emotions and hurts or to give me some feel good relief from life without actually dealing with anything. In a way, Glorious Music has allowed for more responsibility in what I choose to truly support me.

     2. I share your sentiments Mary, music seems to pervade our lives everywhere, even where it never used to. It’s like a constant bombardment and sometimes it really feels like an assault never letting us just be. I wonder why exactly? Who decides? And what is interesting is that collectively we have all just accepted this, too afraid to be with ourselves perhaps?

372. It is fascinating how what you had been taught or shown gave you ideals and beliefs about music which created a certain perception for you that clouded your view of what was truly there and very clear to feel. It shows how lost we can be when we are giving our power to something that is outside of us, over what is said by our inner most within us.

373. Music is pure energy coming at you and it doesn’t just go into the ears. They are sound waves travelling through the air and into every particle of your being. That’s pretty powerful stuff. This wasn’t difficult for me to accept and I could appreciate the music that came from Chris James and Michael Benhayon for being energetically clear and without emotional hooks. The trouble I have had was feeling frustrated that I have not been able to produce music of similar quality. As I let go of my own conditions for making music (like money, success etc) I find it easier to allow it to be just an expression of me, just like the way I walk. It all rests on taking responsibility for the way that I live.

     1. Jinya, what you say is true. Music is powerful stuff and pure energy. Indeed we are listening with the whole body and it affects the whole body and therefore our feelings. Look for example at big concerts of music which is aggressive; the masses get hooked in what the music transports and align to its energy. This is a powerful tool to control people. There is music out there were the young people are asked to check out, take drugs or behave in a disrespectful way to themselves and others. Music is nothing more then feeding of what is empty in us, what we emotionally seek. And this also can occur with music which sound sweet and groovy. How often do parents worry about how they children have changed since listening to a certain style of music. This topic is vast and much to get aware yet.

     2. So true Jinya. Music is a whole body energetic experience and therefore there is great responsibility on those producing the music we listen to – equally so there is responsibility for the choices we make in the music that we choose to listen to.

     3. Jinya, I find it beautiful that you recognise the way to make your music an expression of you rather than for recognition or success by taking responsibility for the way you live. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will happen if the intention is there 🙂
        (I look forward to your first album…)

     4. I understand the frustration you speak about Jinya, not particularly about music for me, but about art and producing that in a similar, or the same quality. Like you, letting go of my own conditions for making art (like money, success, being recognised, seen as different and individual etc) and taking responsibility for the way I live. So that no matter what I do, be it washing the dishes or making art it is done in a quality that is energetically true with no hooks, a quality that supports and heals rather than one that agitates and harms. It is a continual unfolding as I divest myself of what is generally accepted by most but no longer feels true for me.

     5. Great point Jinya. The quality of the music will always be in and with the quality of our livingness. Michael is not out there to perform as such, but to simply share his expression with us all based on the way that he chooses to walk and live. And this is profound. Looking forward to hearing more of your expression Jinya.

374. The clarity you had around your relationship with music from the beginning clearly shows how connected you are to ‘truth’ Harrison. The struggle you have written about is one that many are challenged by in a world that believes it knows best and wants control to be placed outside of ourselves and not coming from within. How beautiful you made the very clear choice to honour what you felt to be true even though it took a little time to unfold in your life. Glorious Music supports and heals with every note and I feel so blessed to have this music to listen to and honour ‘me’. Thanks Glorious Music and to you Harrison for opening up this discussion.

     1. I agree it is awesome that Harrison honoured what he felt and walked away from what did not feel right. Our education system should support people and work in accordance with what is truly felt instead of regurgitating the same old stuff that as we can all see gets us nowhere.

375. To me, the musicians of Glorious Music play with an absolute sense of power, joy and love of themselves which comes across in each song. I don’t feel any hook to get me to like the music either, it’s a take it or leave it approach, without any sense of defensiveness or given-upness. The music is created from a place very deep within the people, and I even feel God is right there humming along 🙂

     1. I love watching the Glorious Music musicians play together. I can feel the depth of brotherhood being lived and it’s just gorgeous. So different to many bands I’ve seen who perform to promote themselves within the group format. I used to want to be a good musician or singer (or anything so I could get noticed) because that’s how I thought I could feel loved and connection and I imagine this is the motivation for many musicians as well as an appreciation of music.

        So it’s so amazing seeing musicians fully supportive of each member playing songs that invite everyone to re-connect with themselves and God.

     2. Listening to Glorious Music leaves one feeling just that Glorious. I never feel disturbed or edgy when listening to their music just really strong, clear and content. It’s the best music on the planet.

376. The radio sounds like death metal, and just noise you can’t make out, after listening to Glorious Music.

     1. Totally Jaime – I turn off the radio now as I feel the energy that seeps from there is toxic. We have done a great disservice to each other by not taking responsibility for what we pump out on to our radio waves. Where this medium could be used to express such love and truth and joy but instead it binds and incarcerates the listener in an energy that is putrid.

377. Music that does not need or evoke emotions, but simply supports me to be myself is just glorious. Thank you Glorious Music!

378. I will say I did have to surrender to the Glorious Music sound, but it didn’t take long. The Glorious Music songs are like prayers, or they have profound wisdom in the lyrics. They are so different to the emotion driven songs you hear on the radio. I can feel the difference.

379. I first heard Glorious Music during true movement and it resonated with my whole being.

380. Great to hear your story, Harrison. I love listening to Glorious Music too, I find the music inspiring and connects to the joy and richness in me. It has a purity and clarity that is so refreshing – heavenly.

     1. Josephine that is such a beautiful comment – and I agree that Glorious Music is absolutely glorious and I love how you say that it connects us to the richness in us if we are willing to go there. Heavenly indeed.

381. I shared a similar experience Harrison – thank you for sharing yours here. The first time I listened, I was only listening with my ears and not feeling with my whole body. I find it interesting how we accept that the food we eat will affect our whole body, but little do we speak of what we hear affecting us in the same way, when it so clearly does! Since opening up my whole body to listening I have so much appreciation for the quality of the music produced by Glorious Music. It really is a gift from heaven. My whole body says thank you!

     1. Its true Simone, not enough weight is given to the affect of what we absorb though music – and we can’t process it out or our body in the same way as food either. I have been hugely influenced by what I’ve chosen to listen to without any real awareness of what was going on. The more self-aware I become the more I care about what goes into my body, and not only via my mouth!

382. The first time and many many more times since when I listen to Glorious Music I feel tingles all over my body, I feel my heart expand and so much joy! Glorious Music and Chris James’ music is the only music that listen to now, as this music allows me to be me, it is unimposing and so so gorgeous. Music from heaven.

383. A fab sharing Harrison. I love Glorious Music as there is no emotional pulling or strain in it. I completely agree that this music just allows me to be – it doesn’t take me away, feed an emotion and is not imposing in any way but allows us to evolve, heal and listen. I even love having a bit of a boogie to it which feels very expanding when I do.

384. When I heard Glorious Music it was like my whole body said thank God there is true music, I had been chasing it as a DJ for years since I was 14 and like you Harrison searching for connection through the way I played the records and machines. It was never there and the music would literally make me feel sick sometimes. I love listening to Glorious Music, it does nourish me yet it also asks me to be responsible – I put it on when I feel to and not to drown out how I am feeling – a key difference.

     1. “I love listening to Glorious Music, it does nourish me yet it also asks me to be responsible – I put it on when I feel to and not to drown out how I am feeling – a key difference” This is truly awesome Lee. A key difference indeed in how music is used. Glorious Music is truly inspiring.

        1. (4) Harry this is a great point ‘A key difference indeed in how music is used.’ Music is the never ending backdrop to life that is used to spread messages about how we are, e.g. ‘I am wearing headphones listening to my music and I have that right’ sort of message to ‘I have to work in this shop this is what we listen to, this is how loud we like it – if you don’t like this then you probably shouldn’t be in the store’ sort of message. Music becomes so personal and integral to the way we get through our days. No different to having the precise coffee you like with the 1/2 a sugar or the soymilk with honey. It is tailored to you, perfectly created as the background music that gets you through. Phew. When I listen to Glorious Music it comes free of all of that imposition and shaping – it says these are the words and music of heaven listen, feel, enjoy and live. Glorious Music = True Music.

385. I had a similar experience to you Harrison, my first impressions or as you name – Judgements – that were based on a very narrow and technical definition of what was good. The more I let go of the control of what it needed to sound like/feel like, the more rich, enjoyable and truly glorious it became.

     1. Truly awesome Joel, lovely to hear! I was playing drums this afternoon and decided to play how I really wanted to play, from my heart and body and boy does it make a difference. I find there is no struggle in what to play because I am simply playing for expression rather than any form of recognition.

386. Thank you Harrison for this tribute to Glorious Music. I love listening to their music so much and it supports me in ways my mind cannot understand. Like you say, you need to feel it in your body. I did not study music myself which made it easier for me to not get lost in ‘how it should be done’ when listening to Michael Benhayon’s music. I have seen others who do have a background of being trained in music, finding it much more difficult to just listen with their hearts and feel the enormous healing quality of the music by Glorious Music.

387. Ever tried to listen to ACDC before going to bed? Or ever wondered how that song came to be in your head and you found yourself humming along, word for word? Music affects us in ways we do not even allow ourselves to consider.

     1. Yes Ive tried ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and John Mayer before bed, Ive also tried Glorious Music before bed and I know which one I prefer.

388. I love Glorious Music and have from the very first time I heard it. The music’s glorious, the words are glorious, the voices are glorious, what an apt title Glorious Music is, it is music from heaven.

389. Awesome Blog Harrison, music and lyrics have always been somewhat of a mystery to me, as to why there are so many emotional words put into songs. I always went to clubs to dance and was able to block out the words because if I stopped to listen to the words, there would be emotions running though my body and that meant I would drink even more alcohol.
     When Glorious Music first came out I wasn’t a big fan, as that was bringing up a lot of emotional stuff, but now I have a much deeper understanding of myself I can feel the beat and words and how much love is in every track. My most recent experience was when I played the instrumental version of Road Gloria. I was in the shower and I stopped in my tracks, as even though it was an instrumental I could still “hear” Miranda Benhayon singing and could feel it in my body – it was like she was in my lounge room, it felt so beautiful. At the last Universal Medicine ball I felt like I was in heaven with the band playing.

390. Harrison, it’s lovely how you were open to listening with your heart not your mind. What a pressure there is on musicians to produce and be recognised and great that you were saved from pursuing a music career. Now you too can bring soulful music to the world.

391. woo this is a glorious account of glorious music. It is so profound what you say harrison, the songs that are sung are so beautiful and go graceful and not one ounce of harm comes our way. This is so different to all others songs that I have listened to out there, which are heavy, emotional and/or quite rude, and belittling in their lyrics.It is very alarming to hear some of the songs on the radio these days.

392. I am absolutely stunned by the amazing instrumentation on the Glorious Music albums. It is incredibly sophisticated yet not sophisticated in a citified, jaded way, but just full of genius. The colours and textures are stunning. Michael Benhayon is a master musician.

     1. Agree Lyndy, Michael Benhayon is a Master Musician!

     2. I absolutely agree Lyndy – bearing wittiness to Michael Benhayon’s musical development and soulful expression. Feeling each note and beat, the orchestration and layering is from a higher plane. It’s extraordinary and an absolute honour to watch and hear him play.

393. Thank you so much for sharing what happened for you in this blog Harrison. I love listening to Glorious Music and was listening to it in the car today. Never have I heard such sweet, sexy drum playing in my life – the space in the beats, the love in every sound, the surrender and absolute lack of drive and trying to impress the listener is stunning. I find myself melting to an even greater degree as hard edges and spiky borders disappear. How amazing to have access to this kind of music while on earth.

394. As a former dancer by listening to Glorious music for the first time I wasn’t much excited about the sounds and effects and rhythms – but I could instantly feel that there is a lightness in the songs and it really didn’t do anything to me in a good sense. It just reminded me, what is truly important in life. Never feeded me back any emotions. Sometimes I listen to some tracks when I feel out- it is indeed like medicine..Listening to other music is impossible, since then- it feels very often imposing and like an energy that wants to “change” me…although it sounds more fancy, it has no chance to seduce me- I love feeling me in truth and that’s why I love GLORIOUS MUSIC.

395. Hi Harrison, I knew this was you from the very beginning, but how you write I kept thinking it might be someone else as I kept feeling like what you were talking about was a long time ago… ‘a lifetime ago’. Yet it has only been 4 years and I feel like you have COMPLETELY changed your life. Thank you for sharing and expressing you and your joy in everyday, in every way and for all. It is such a reminder for us all to let our joy out – what is deep inside also, instead of living in fear.

     1. Oh and Glorious Music ROCKS! It is so supportive, inspiring and unimposing. This is what needs to be played on the loudspeakers, not emotionally laden songs which dull us, impose and keep us all in a grudge… I look forward to this day !

     2. Thankyou Arianne, this is beautiful. xox

396. I was into music in a big way 5 years ago. In fact it was something I vowed never to ‘give up’ as I felt as though music sustained me and made life worth living…. Until I heard Serge Benhayon present on the truth behind music…. the fact that we receive everything that the musician has lived in every beat. After hearing this I experimented and found that songs I loved began to make me feel uncomfortable and emotional, the more present I was the more unpleasant it became. It became apparent that music was providing a high much like alcohol and the hangover was just as bad (if not worse) as it was so sneaky. Thank you for writing this Harrison. I share your love of Glorious Music and it is wonderful to see it celebrated here.

397. I only listen to Glorious Music as well too and their next album always seems to have evolved more than their last. There is definitely a joy and sweetness to their music (even the rock ones!). Growing up I always wondered about music, I could feel how it changed and took over my body and didn’t like it when I had songs constantly playing in my head. But it wasn’t until I met Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine that this was confirmed and music was outed for being imposing on us. Unlike Glorious Music which is not imposing at all, it leaves our bodies to just be.

398. I loved the Glorious Music from the first time I heard it, the music made my heart sing.

     1. I remember the first time I heard Emmalee Benhayon sing when she was a teenager with Michael Benhayon accompanying. I think this was before Glorious Music produced their first album and it was the sweetest sound I ever heard. She was singing “let it go, let it be – allow yourself to live naturally” and my heart soared and I felt as if something in me let go.

     2. Very well said, marylouisemeyers, Glorious Music makes my heart sing too, as it is a celebration of love.

399. Thank you, Harrison. I am so pleased that you were able to connect to the pure love that pours out through the Glorious Music albums. This music is like no other, and for me I feel an instant re-connection to heaven.

400. The line “aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body” expresses exactly my experience of much of the music I loved to listen to growing up. Most music is based on an emotional response, a hook that draws us in and makes us emotionally react, yet more and more I feel how that emotion is not very supportive for the body and thus most music produced is actually unhealthy to listen to. Thanks for sharing your experiences Harrison, great to get the perspective of a musician who clearly loves his music.

     1. Its so true Stephen, most music is composed and then performed in some kind of emotional energy and generally we align with it because we feel the same things as the musician and that gives us some sense of connection, but we are not actually discerning what it is we are really connecting too. Having had the grace to hear Glorious Music, it has enabled me to hear and feel the different quality of music that is performed not from a turbulent emotional energy, but from a clear, still, full energy. The people who perform this music are not “in love” nor are they empty, needy, angry or sad, they are simply full of love and celebrate this fullness all the way. I celebrate the day Michael Benhayon started to produce songs and albums, because it has enabled me to feel the real effects of my then music collection on my body and my well being and begin to discern what I truly wanted to listen to and enjoy, music that does not pull on any emotion, heart string or forlorn memory, but instead leaves me full of joy and playfulness.

401. ‘For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.’ This has been my experience of Glorious Music too Harrison. I recall years ago getting so carried away with all the emotional songs. I love listening to Glorious Music and watching Michael Benhayon perform, he inspires me to pick up a guitar again.

402. Wow Harrison, what you present here is huge!: “The difference was now clear; when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body.” From this statement I can understand music to be drug-like, where it keeps us in our familiar habits – in order to confirm any reason we may have invented to not believe we are in fact equal love to that which is felt in every note of Glorious Music.

403. Love it Harrison. I find a similar experience when listening to music – if I ever tune into the radio or my teacher puts music on in Art class it’s amazing how much of an emotional rollercoaster ride the songs can take you on. They can impose feelings of happiness, sadness, depression, bliss, jealousy, grief etc., because they are almost all jam-packed full of emotional lyrics and a tune to emphasise that and create a particular atmosphere. Glorious Music on the other hand – no emotion; completely different in the sense that it inspires and/or confirms you in joy, rather than bring you down with false emotion.

404. I recognise this Harrison. I am a classically trained musician and have experienced the same thing. In the music world there is so much emphasis on getting it right and perfecting our playing. My ear had become used to hearing music played a certain way. Glorious Music challenged me to start with, but as I let go of the old expectations I opened up to listening and receiving the music in a new way, allowing the joy in myself as I listened to it. Their music is indeed glorious, and now I rarely listen to anything else.

405. The late nights associated with being a musician are a hazard of the job – especially playing a wedding where the band may not even start work till 9pm and then have to wait till everyone else has gone before clearing up. And the long hours spent in recording studios trying to get the ‘perfect’ sound can be very draining. Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music are breaking the mould by using the first ‘take’ and their recorded music always sounds fresh as a result. I’m not a musician but I have lived around musicians all of my adult life and seeing the way these youngsters take care of themselves is inspiring.

406. Thank you for sharing Harrison. I remember years ago stopping to listen to the words that were being said in many of the songs I was listening to – I found it quite appalling – far from being uplifting there was a lot of deep seated angst and unrest in the words, so instead of ‘mellowing’ out to the music it put my body on edge. What I love about Glorious Music is it helps allow my body to surrender and let go, it helps confirm the love that I am and is not trying to dump anything on me like most of the music I used to listen to did.

407. It took me a little while to appreciate Glorious Music too. I was so used to wallowing emotionally in the music I did hear that to have non-imposing music – and what at the time I felt was loud and techno-pop – wasn’t for me. But now I love it, the band, Miranda Benahyon’s singing and the love that comes through. Glorious Music and the music of Chris James are the only albums I now choose to listen too. I agree with your statement Harrison, “For once I was listening to music that didn’t try and change me or I didn’t have to be emotional to listen to… I could just be me.” Thanks for a great post.

408. There is more to what we hear than the music that meets our ears. The quality in which the song is composed, is the quality we will ingest and therefore, the quality of what will play out in us thereafter. And so, as with everything, discernment is crucial if true health is what we value.

409. Harrison I felt similarly to you about Glorious Music when I first heard it, in fact I would physically cringe at flat notes and was rather doubtful of people who seemed enamored by it. I rather hesitantly bought my first CD and in no time at all my feelings changed radically. Now when I listen to the music i don’t so much hear with my ears but more with my heart. The music reminds me of the deepest part of me, a part that has been buried for eons. I will quite often be moved to tears by certain tracks and feel overwhelmed at the amount of love that comes through the lyrics, the instruments and from the musicians and singers themselves. Everything that is ever produced either re-connects us to who we are or takes us away from who we are, it is clear to feel that Glorious Music re-connects us back to ourselves.

410. Awesome Harrison. I know exactly what you mean about going to music when you’re already emotional, to make you feel worse. I know in the past when I have been sad, you put a sad song on and it just makes everything feel worse! And yet in society it’s common knowledge that music can effect emotions and it’s used in that way – to let go and get almost trance like at a party, to make you feel worse when you’re sad, to keep you isolated from people when you’re not feeling great by walking round with headphones in etc etc. So many teens look to music, feeling like it’s their only escape from life. But why do they need to escape?
     I very much agree about Glorious Music, I have every album and love every song – why? because when I listen to them I can sing along and dance and have fun, but at the end of it I’m still me.

411. “I longed to breathe me again” – Harrison, this line says it all. It shows us how so much gets imposed on us from our external world, the complex array of opinions, ideals, beliefs etc. all fed to us through the words that we read, the music we hear, the food that we eat, all toxic to the very core and so willingly consumed by us in great undiscerning gulps. Our bodies know instinctively that this doesn’t feel right and so when this is not heeded we withdraw, contract, shrivel up, tighten and hence lose our breath. This happens because we become out of step from the rhythm of all things, the pulse of nature, the breath of God. Out of rhythm we are tuneless and discordant and stumble in our every step. But, when we make the choice to move in tune with the song that is sung from deep within our hearts, we feel ourselves lighten, the crushing weight dissipates and we feel our bodies expand back out to the far reaches of the cosmos and beyond. For when we breathe the breath that we are, no longer are we in the position to fill our lungs with that which we are not. And so our bodies and the beings inside simply rejoice, for we are home, right here, in the spaciousness of our flesh, no longer a prison in which to hide.

     1. Beautifully expressed, Liane, I love it. I agree with you wholeheartedly regarding the way all the opinions, ideals, beliefs etc. are fed to us nowadays through so many avenues. All telling us how we should be in every way, it is so harmful to us really. We need to be free to feel for ourselves what is the way to do things, not have to follow these rules etc. that are being laid down all the time. Music particularly can be so very imposing in so many ways, continually wanting to control us and how we feel, feeding us emotions that we can take on if we are not aware of it.

     2. “For when we breathe the breath that we are, no longer are we in the position to fill our lungs with that which we are not. And so our bodies and the beings inside simply rejoice, for we are home, right here, in the spaciousness of our flesh, no longer a prison in which to hide.” Thank You Liane. This is utterly beautiful.

412. Harrison thanks for sharing so clearly the difference you felt in the music, having not studied music I was not aware of the rights or wrongs of how you play, but what I could feel was the big difference in either being caught up in the music or having the music feel deeply supportive and being there to listen to. At first, and growing up, I loved the emotional turmoil that music bought me, the fact I could get lost in the music. However now I deeply appreciate having music that feels enjoyable to listen to and lets me be without trying to get me caught up in it. Glorious Music is incredible as it actually inspires me to feel light in myself and come out of any problems I may be creating compared to the “old favourites” which compound my issues. I had no idea just how much music influences us before listening to Glorious Music and how we feel each day – thank goodness we now have a true comparison of what music is actually about.

413. Thank you Harrison, what an amazing turn around. How glorious to discover the love in Glorious Music! I completely understand what you mean about how the music you were listening to contributing to your self criticism. I remember listening to one of my favourite jazz musicians and realising that the music was making me really angry. That CD went in the bin quite quickly and I started to pay attention to every thing I played to see what effect it was having on me. I quickly realised that all my favourites made me very emotional in one way or another, angry, sad, happy. These days I only listen to Glorious Music, because it is just that. Every part of my body wants to dance in celebration of the beautiful sounds, rhythms, melodies and lyrics, yet none of it makes me feel emotional. True music produced and performed with true love and integrity that is magnified in every note.

414. Glorious Music is changing the face of music as we know it: a change that is very long overdue. When I heard my first Glorious Music track I could feel so clearly that this music was definitely not affecting me as other music had throughout my life; it was letting me be me and not trying to convince me of anything, especially that I had to become emotional by listening to it. And like you write so beautifully Harrison, this music offers the listener: “ simple sounds that are made with love.”

415. This is great Harrison. Music was my ‘everything’ – no matter what mood I was in, there was someone singing to me to validate the misery or ecstasy that I was feeling. Generally, with my musical tastes, it was the misery and melancholy, so I would listen to endless songs that confirmed the woefulness that I felt about being in the world. Problem is, I started to cheer up somewhat and this happened because I started attending Universal Medicine events and really listening to what Serge Benhayon was presenting. It all just made so much sense! As I started to discover more of who I was and healing the hurts that got in the way of me expressing this, I started to feel an incredible lightness and joy in my body, so much so that when I would try to listen to my ‘beloved music’, it didn’t match the quality of what I was starting to feel from within. Like you Harrison, I was not impressed on the 1st, 2nd or even 10th listen to Glorious Music, but the more I lightened up, quite literally, the more I started to hear and feel what was on offer through these songs. The quality of what I was hearing matched the quality of what I was feeling, and when it didn’t, it pulled me like a great and glorious magnet, to the space where I could feel the music was coming from, right from the depths of the hearts of the musicians playing, a direct stairway to Heaven – move over Led Zeppelin!

     1. I agree with this sentence, “Liane, Like you Harrison, I was not impressed on the 1st, 2nd or even 10th listen to Glorious Music, but the more I lightened up, quite literally, the more I started to hear and feel what was on offer through these songs.” For me too, it took quite a while for me to actually like the music played by Glorious Music. It happened as I gradually changed myself. Now I can’t get enough of it, it leaves me free to feel the joy and glory that I now am feeling in my body, more and more.

     2. Haha This is Gold Liane! I also started to cheer up a lot when I attended Universal Medicine presentations and hence found the jarring effect that the music I was listening to was having.. it just didn’t Gel anymore. Since attending Universal Medicine events I was inspired to make my life one of responsibility and live the joy that I actually wanted. And to be honest all of the music out there, even my favourite happy music, just didn’t do it for me, I felt like it was lacking in so much responsibility! and I agree …. Move over Led Zeppelin haha.

416. I now find it very difficult to listen to music, other than Glorious Music, because of the emotional pull of the music. I have come to realise that I used to really enjoy the emotion, the drama, in music as I could get ‘lost in it’ and escape from myself. I no longer want to do that. I now wish to stay with myself and I am able to do that with Glorious Music and at the same time enjoy the music.

     1. Yes I remember using music to really escape and if it didn’t do that then it wasn’t a good track! What I love about Glorious Music is that when I connect with me I feel how truly glorious it is and how it confirms to me who we truly are.

     2. I agree Jonathan, I used to think it was so ‘therapeutic’ to get lost in music, even cry. I now understand what I was giving myself away to and how harmful the separation was. Glorious music allows for true connection to self and all the beauty and healing that this carries with it. Awesome.

     3. Wow Jonathan, you have describe exactly the reasons why I was so drawn to listening to music, in my car, at home and going out. I didn’t like to have a moment of quiet so I filled it with music. Now I realised I was using it to get completely lost in it too, to zone out so I don’t have to be present in my body or connect to myself, it’s very exposing. The amazing thing is I am aware of it now. I can choose what music to listen to and that is Glorious Music and music that is produced from a non-imposing energy, the energy of LOVE.

417. This is such an important subject, as it seems to me that we are bombarded with music from all angles, especially when out shopping. But when I listen to Glorious Music I don’t get the feeling that I am being abused but instead being loved deeply.

418. I am sure everyone knows these moments when you hear an old familiar song in a store or a that reminds you of a time in your life bringing back the feeling, the pictures and quite often a sense of nostalgia – basically it puts us back into the mood of old. Today I recognise such moments and reflect the memories, how I truly felt and how I understand this particular time of my life from what I know to be me today. And most times it becomes very obvious that it wasn´t really a great time that I relate with a song but simply a familiar feeling I once identified with and possibly still hold on to. But instead of indulging in the mood of good old times I make use of it by honestly discerning the quality and letting go of the identification. Glorious Music doesn´t produce moods, no nostalgia, nothing to cling any needs or desires to – it is pure and purely brings you to you, the real you where no emotions identify you.

     1. “Glorious Music doesn´t produce moods, no nostalgia, nothing to cling any needs or desires to…” Absolutely true Alex I have been listening to Glorious Music for several years now and unlike other music which takes me straight to a time when it featured in the soundtrack of my life (and all the emotions I was feeling too), Glorious Music confirms me in that moment and if I choose to accept the inspiration, supports me to deepen my awareness and evolve. It is all about the present moment.

        1. There were times when I would have not only wished for a `soundtrack´ but also a slow motion app to give my life the flavour and dramatic as seen in the movies where even the most trivial stuff (emptiness) is puffed up with atmosphere and meaning. With glorious music there is nothing to fill any emptiness with but only to reconnect to the fullness that awaits within everyone as its natural essence.

        2. Powerful indeed – music that confirms you in the present moment to build onto the next.

     2. Yes Alex, I have found this to be a key point of difference with the music from Glorious Music, it leaves your be, no memories no pulling on heartstrings and yet I feel totally loved when listening to it. It is more confirming of the love that is beyond the emotions and that took some getting used to because I mostly if not solely knew love, and music, to be emotional.

        1. I guess that is why some people cannot relate to or dislike Glorious Music, because it doesn´t attract you (the emptiness filled with surrogate emotions), doesn´t feed any needs or hopes or dreams – basically nothing that supports avoiding or procrastinating to meet yourself and the interconnectedness with all.

419. Love what you share Harrison as I too did not fully connect to Glorious Music when I first heard it. I was used to music making me feel emotional or connecting it to emotions I had, but unlike most music, Glorious Music leaves you to be you. I too now love this quality of the music they produce and find myself singing along often with a real joy in my heart.

     1. That’s it Jade, most music feeds on our emotions, to either make those emotions bigger or to change them, by way of distraction really. Glorious Music just leaves the listener to be exactly where they are, and so their music then isn’t a crutch or a ‘go to’ to feel a certain way, it is often a confirmation of how we’re already feeling.

        1. Gorgeous Sandra…Glorious Music does confirm how we are already feeling and also allows space for us to go deeper too if we so choose e.g. if I’m feeling joyful as I start to listen to one of their songs, often I will feel even more joyful as the song plays – what a beautiful gift!

420. Whilst I didn’t play an instrument as such growing up I love music, had a massive vinyl and CD collection and started playing guitar in my early 20’s but stopped playing for a period of 15 years as I found it made me very frustrated and uptight trying to play in a certain style to get in prefect. Then inspired by the easy and relaxed, natural way the Michael Benhayon plays I started having lessons again and now I play for the fun of it, for how the guitar and my body feel as I strum. Its beautiful to listen to music played from the heart that asks nothing of you and lets you be.

     1. Thank you Rachel, it is amazing to hear that you have found the inspiration through Glorious Music and Michael Benhayon to play the guitar just for you.

421. Emotions are in everything and especially in music, it’s their biggest selling point. What a blessing to hear music such as Glorious Music where a difference in sound can be clearly felt.

     1. When I hear music on the radio, my body goes no, no, no, at the words, and gets jangled by the music itself. With Glorious Music, my body goes yes, yes yes to words and music, and harmonises with it.

     2. I agree emotions sell, they get people excited and wired up, they become relateable to the listeners and draw you in with a sense of familiarity, a sense of being in it together.

        1. very true James

     3. Thank you Harrison – I hadn’t fully considered this. I feel inspired to deepen my awareness of all the things I turn to for an ’emotion fix’.

     4. I’ve discovered this too harryjwhite, and now understand why I used to love certain songs and music – it was because it was either emotional and / or allowed me to indulge or get drawn into my own emotions. At the time I loved drama in my life, so it was the perfect fit for keeping me stuck in my emotions. What I love about the music of Michael Benhayon and Glorious Music is that it is devoid of any emotion and there is no hooking energy in any way. It is totally non imposing and just allows me to be me!

     5. Absolutely Harry. Whereas most music is magnifying and orchestrating emotions taking us further into the mire of complication, Glorious Music is offering a simple healing sound which we can celebrate with and evolve to!

     6. So true harryjwhite. In the past, I chose the music that best allowed me to wallow in my emotions and confirm them as being me! Glorious Music does not do this, in fact, it does the opposite. What Glorious Music offers is like no other, it feels like every word and note is written for everyone – it speaks directly to my heart.

     7. Absolutely harryjwhite. Glorious Music is Gloriously and joy-fully emotion-free. Light, smooth, sweet, tender and absolutely rocking… listening to any other music is a bitter shock to the palette (and entire body) after tasting the exquisiteness of Glorious Music.

     8. To listen to music that I know has been created without emotion (i.e. the music by Glorious Music) is fantastic. It’s the same difference as it feels to me between eating a rich, stodgy meal compared to a light, meal of say, fish and salad: it feels so refreshing to not have the stodginess sit in my brain and body.

     9. Yes exactly harryjwhite. Imagine if a person is really angry, sad, on drugs or in fact in any emotional state and we listen to their music, guess what we absorb unless we are aware of what is going on here. We all know how different it feels in our body to have a conversation with someone who is very emotional or under the influence of drugs or alcohol compared to be in the company of a loving or harmonious person. It is even worse listening to emotionally charged music. In fact it can be a lot worse when we align to that energy / song and invite it into our bodies – much more harmful than we realise.

        1. The big difference with Glorious Music is how the musicians understand and commit to their energetic responsibility in playing music and so the first “instrument” that they work with is their Soul. Michael Benhayon writes all his songs in Soul connection and not from any need or emotion whatsoever. The second free audio in the link below: http://www.unimedliving.com/unimedpedia/word-index/unimedpedia-soul.html talks about truly soul-full music and the responsibility of playing in this way.

     10. That’s a very important point Harrison – emotions are the biggest selling point in most music. When musicians are ready to accept this, it can herald a huge turnaround in music. Glorious music has set a new and inspiring example for what the quality of music truly ought to be.

     11. Very interesting to know this harryjwhite, I’ve never really considered what you’ve shared here but it makes sense. I was deeply drawn into the emotions of music for sure. But with Glorious Music it’s such a joy to listen to and my whole body sings along with this music of celebration and the heavenly lyrics.

     12. Hello Harrison White and I loved this thank you, “The difference was now clear; when I listened to my classic favourites, I didn’t feel great about myself, and they aided the struggle and fuelled the emotions in my body. But Glorious Music gave me a chance to feel clear, observe my feelings and enjoy simple sounds that are made with love.”

     13. So true Harryjwhite. Music is felt by its vibration. It’s not hard to feel music by its vibration quality. It can travel in so easy through the ears emotionally, but when time is taken to know your body and what feels good, music is not needed to pick you up like it usually is.

     14. Awesome Harrison, I agree totally. After working in the nightclub industry for over 20 years, and being caught up in the 60s and 70s rock revolution, I became very aware that music definitely has an emotional card that all musicians use. Now, with Glorious Music and with Chris James’s music, it is great to be left alone.

422. This is a brilliant blog Harrison. I love how you have so aptly described modern day music with how controlled it is to fit into a certain way. Whereas Glorious Music is free flowing, doesn’t follow the rules, and allows the listener to just be themselves, naturally pulling them to expand their awareness of themselves and life. So when we listen to these distinctly different types of music one locks us down into being a certain way and the other allows us to evolve. I know which one I prefer to listen to!

     1. robynjones11 I really got to feel what you are saying about music. As you so rightly say most music narrows us right down, it actually governs how we are feeling, it is a dictator of sorts. Glorious Music, and indeed any music that comes from the soul, leaves us alone, in fact I feel that it strips away some of the layers that prevent us from feeling the truth and in so doing actually exposes the inner heart for greater connection.

        1. I feel you are spot on here Alexis. Especially when you say, “…in fact I feel that it strips away some of the layers that prevent us from feeling the truth and in so doing actually exposes the inner heart for greater connection.” Glorious Music does indeed produce music that supports us to connect more deeply to our soul – true soul-full music.

     2. Yes I agree robynjones11, music can evoke a certain way of being and I find it confronting what a lot of young teenagers are listening to and choosing to invoke within their bodies. It is extremely sexual and very abusive and as you shared this music locks them down to being a certain way.
        Glorious Music is loving and evolving, it’s a no brainer which one to choose out of these two options.

        1. I agree Nicole, most of the music around at the moment is abusive in it’s tone and in the lyrics, as well as being completely over sexualised, and the way the singers and musicians conduct their lives is pretty full on. All this is what is delivered in the music and so much more. To listen to Glorious Music is Heaven because it doesn’t come laced with any abuse, anything sexual and the way in which they live is so very respectful and loving to others and the planet.

423. Thank you Harrison White for sharing this and how you find music has an affect on your body or not…. as with the non-imposing Glorious Music by Michael Benhayon.
     I had never really considered there was so much competitiveness in music until hearing presentations by Serge Benhayon where this was exposed.
     “you have to play a certain way, if you don’t you won’t fit in, you won’t be liked and you won’t be successful” and “if you don’t play this certain way, you’re not doing it correctly.”

     1. Hi Stephanie, there is definitely a lot of competitiveness in Music.

424. This is really lovely to read Harrison, ‘I began to feel that I had never listened to music that was so sweet and that nurtured me in my whole body.’ I too enjoy listening to Glorious Music and find it very uplifting and joyful, I now find it hard to listen to any other music as I find it too emotional, it makes me go into my head thinking about lost love etc… And what is being sung does not feel true to me anymore.

     1. Same for me Rebecca. When I hear songs that I used to love, it exposes the emotional strings that were pulling me and I no longer enjoy listening to them because I can feel so clearly the heaviness. I no longer feel to listen to music that is imposing, draining and emotional. I agree, this kind of music just simply doesn’t ‘feel true to me anymore’ too.

425. Glorious Music is the only Music I listen to too Harrison. The words are beautiful and the music is incredible, I love every single track. Each song is so different The music is truly like no other I have listened to and does not impose on my senses in anyway. Once I have listened to Glorious Music it makes it hard to listen to any other, it feels jarring, harsh and enticing and almost feels like an assault on my hearing and my body.

     1. ‘Each song is so different’. This struck me too alisonmoir, because most music groups have one style and all the songs sound much the same in quality and feel. With Glorious Music I am amazed how each song is so unique, varying from a tender love song to vibrant rock to a boisterous claiming of the glory of life, and the music develops as the musicians evolve.

     2. Well said Alisonmoir, beautiful name by the way.. I am fully agreeing with what you have shared on the difference of this music. I find Glorious Music a forever deepening music that connects you to who you are, while I have listened to music all my life where it has definitely not been that way: always emphasis on emotions, depressive or hurtful feelings.. Never did I truly benefit from music, until I heard Michael Benhayon play… and Miranda Benhayon sing. Never had my heart felt so open and not imposed upon.

     3. So well put alisonmoir. I love the word ‘enticing’, so apt, as it does actually feel like some music is saying “come over here and lose yourself in me!”, not something to be recommended. And a lot of music is based around sex, which is also an assault on the senses and something I find quite offensive. Glorious Music takes me back to the essence of who I truly am and is a delight and certainly not boring, as some of the dance tracks will testify. Such fun.

     4. Yeah I know what you mean Alison, often it just feels like horrible noise, and hurts the body not just the ears!

        1. Agree for me it’s a tinny sound and a real racket at times (and to think I enjoyed this type of music too), definitely it’s the type that tries to take you off somewhere, away from whatever you are experiencing, especially when you hear the lyrics. And lyrics that may have the right words, like love, soul, beauty, but are empty in feel. The difference with Glorious Music and the voices of Miranda Benhayon and Emmalee Benhayon is that all the tracks inspire you to come out of whatever it is you’re in (issue, dilemma, hurt), as opposed to avoiding it or indulging in it. And they do this with musical beats, voice, sound and direction that release the listener as opposed to imprisoning them. Thank goodness for Glorious Music.

     5. I agree alisonmoir there is so much more to just the music when you listen to Glorious Music – the words are confirming.

     6. Absolutely Alison, the music that is played as background music in venues around the world can now be felt by me as an ‘assault on my body’.

426. A beautiful article Harrison and very confirming to hear what you have experienced and how you have made changes in your life due to what you feel. It is something I can really relate to, I really do enjoy listening to Glorious Music and can totally relate to what it feels like in my body when other music is played, emotional, heavy and imposing are the words that pop up for me and I do not like how I am left after. Glorious Music is totally different to anything else, it is music that does not impose and make you emotional, it leaves you feeling light and connected and I find it clean and fresh. Michael, Emmalee and Miranda Benhayon are inspirations to the whole of the music industry.

427. The glory of Glorious Music has to be heard from ones inner heart with the love it comes from. This is a gift to the world and for us to discern. What a beautiful sharing Harrison with such a depth of knowing from you always inside and to come to the understanding of the way music makes us feel and take on stuff. Glorious music really does allow us to simply be who we are and brings a loving joy and freedom to our bodies with a clarity and emotionless way of being. A great sharing for all of us and especially other musicians to see there is another way for music played from within.

428. Thanks for sharing your process with music Harrison. It is great that you could allow yourself to feel all that comes with this lifestyle. Having been involved with musicians when I was young I can tell you that you have made a very self loving choice as all the musicians I knew lived a life fueled by drugs and /or alcohol and very, very, late nights.

     1. Hi kathleenbaldwin! Yes I know those very late nights well, and I do not miss them! Most of the musicians that I knew were cool in their ‘scene’ but lived irresponsibly outside of their music (taking drugs, not committing to life etc).

429. All of my musical ability has always been located in my right index finger that pushes the play button. Research has shown that we are imprinted with the world and what it contained by the decade when we are 10 years old. My imprint was the sixties; rock-n-roll, Vietnam war and Flower power. Music was full of emotions, it always has been. I was told the perfect country western song must contain; crying, dying, going somewhere, pickup trucks and maybe the occasional train, to be successful. Glorious Music has never had those hidden emotional hooks that are contained in so much music today, because it has been written and played with real love.

     1. “I was told the perfect country western song must contain; crying, dying, going somewhere, pickup trucks and maybe the occasional train, to be successful” haha. Thats a crack up.

        1. That is a crack up Harrison and whose definition of successful is everyone trying to live up to?

     2. Thanks for the morning laugh sjmatsonuk, great to see the humour in it all…”crying, dying, going somewhere, pickup trucks and maybe the occasional train, to be successful.” could add a bit of whining into the mix as well.

430. It took me a few years before I could feel the truth and the beauty behind Glorious Music as I was so invested in the music I had been listening to all my life, quite literally, I had spent thousands on albums,cd’s and downloads. So admitting that a lot of music is harmful was something I was slow to fully take on.

     1. Same Here Kevmchardy.

     2. I really do understand that kevmchardy. I had music that I l-o-v-e-d…or so I thought; rock music with highly intelligent lyrics that made love out to be something beyond reach and always destined to end badly. Oh yeah!! Belting it out at full volume from the speakers, with me singing along in abject sympathy. I had a thing for tortured rock idols…the ones with faces etched in misery with their messed up lives, drug problems and slightly greasy hair.
        Uh huh. Well that has changed so completely that I can laugh at it today.
        The funny thing for me is that as invested as I was in those bands with their superb technical quality, the very first time I heard Glorious Music and saw Michael Benhayon play guitar on stage I completely got it. No fight at all. This music is evolutionary and it calls on the listener to be willing to evolve with it. That beats technical expertise and perfection any day.

        1. It’s rather ironic that most famous band members do not look very healthy. Why are we listening to this music and not aware that it is not truly supporting us as you say dentistryinharmony – Dr Rachel Mascord BDS. They are treated as role models and “stars”. Why is it that musicians’ health is second to what they produce?

     3. Same for me kevmchardy. I’d invested heavily in music and going out to see bands but once I could feel the energy behind the music it was quite easy to discard it all – it was a great lesson to learn. Listening to Glorious Music is just so thoroughly enjoyable.

     4. Hello kevmchardy and you do look like a bit of a music man. It was just awareness for me because until Universal Medicine I had never given music another thought. I would walk around and hear music everywhere, in the car, the supermarket, the shopping centre, in clothes shops and sometimes I would start just randomly singing a song. A lot of the songs that just popped into my head were from when I was young, at home with my parents. When Serge Benhayon presented on music I just bought awareness to what he had said and then took a look for myself. To be honest it was kind of overwhelming to finally ‘hear’ all the music around me and how I felt about it. After a while this was freeing for me because now it feels like at least I have a choice to listen, or not to listen, no matter where I am or what music is playing, where as before I was just taking it in no matter what. I can listen to Glorious Music all day and it doesn’t stay with me or just randomly pop in my head, this music is different, not in sound but feeling. Thank you kevmchardy.

     5. Great point kevmchardy, it’s often the investment in something, in this case music, that we can’t easily let go of even though deep within we know the truth of what that investment is doing to us. Music is a huge investment for so many people with music collections or years of playing or studying music.

     6. And same here! I heavily identified myself with various styles of music throughout my life, and prided myself on finding different styles of music to impress people with. Nowadays, though when I go to listen to some of the old stuff I used to really enjoy, it feels super heavy and I have many times ended up with a headache after turning it off halfway through a track. For a while this was quite frustrating, because I wanted to still enjoy that music, but the truth was, I simply don’t anymore, and that is ok!

     7. I imagine many would be with you on that Kev, it’s quite a bitter pill to swallow and it all looks so ‘innocent’ – how could it be harming? But when we actually let ourselves feel we know how powerful music is to the senses, how it can transport us in an instant to another time and place, just what exactly it is the point and that is where we are needing to discern more and more about what the energy of the music is.

        1. Totally agree Vanessa. Music is played to tantalize your senses and emotions while the musician is identified by how many albums they sell to be the no. 1 on the charts.
