Well now for this practice play that song, or any other.( If its a song you've never heard, could work better, as there could be some key points that might react to your awareness.)
Once listening try not having any emotional responses, just as if it's not playing at all.
Feeling no emotional response is why I listen to music. It sounds as though we function in opposite ways. You're saying attempt to listen to music and not have an emotional response. As though you are aiming to attain no-thing. My issue is I require a break from the no-thing, hence I seek out music to help me to feel emotion; to be consumed by it. Why?
Why do some use music to enter the state of no-thing and others use music to leave the state of no-thing?
A break from perspective is my reason.
The no-thing is wide and vast, the thing is small. Maybe the exercise is to gain a broader perspective, no matter where the listener is coming from. I use music to feel grounded. You use music to join the collective. What does this say about our homes and where we spend most of our time? I use the term "you" as more a general reference. I'm not entirely sure why you, personally, use music. Meditation is certainly one way to use it. Setting an affirmation is another. Divination a third.
