5.6. Music

In this section, we'll look at the second part of the mind concept, which includes the mind, the spirit and the unconscious. We'll be concentrating mainly on the mind, and in particular on the elements of music and alignment.

Music in Recordings

When we analyze the mind, we start by identifying the musical elements present in the recording. The aim is to find relevant musical correspondences. You have two options: visualize all the musical elements or play them back to observe their evolution over time.

Thin bars represent short-term elements, while wider bars indicate longer-term elements. Another interesting metric is the general level of musical harmony in the recording. After around a hundred beats, we can begin to identify specific short-, medium-, long- and very long-term musical chords.

These chords may comprise 2, 3 or 4 notes and be spread over different scales. Although this information is not always directly useful, it becomes crucial when reconstructing guided meditation. It enables us to understand the participants' current state, i.e. the music present in their recording, and to determine where we want to take them musically.

Musical alignment and adjustment

Musical alignment involves adjusting the scales and chord types to suit the objectives of the meditation. For example, if the present chords are minor 7 chords and we wish to move on to major chords, this transition will be made gradually throughout the meditation. Similarly, if we're aiming for a certain frequency that isn't present, we'll build music that gradually evolves towards that target frequency.

The idea is to take participants in their current musical state and guide them into a deeper state of meditation using the melodies present in their bodies. This approach facilitates entry into meditation by directly speaking the participants' musical language.

In short, musical analysis and alignment enable the personalization of guided meditation, making the experience more accessible and effective for each individual.
