To my surprise, a lone bird cheerfully sang out, loud and long, joining me in a joyful song to welcome a new dawn. I welcomed his singing as the advent door gift that day.
Scientific
studies show singing an uplifting song, unites both
hemispheres of our brain, igniting parts of our mind rarely used, having a healing effect. Singing The Lord's Prayer or making up your own melody to a Bible psalm was recommended. But any light-hearted song will do. It's also been proven that silently singing to yourself can help you fall asleep on restless nights.
I tried it one sleepless night, silently singing favorite old hymns and Christmas carols. I began to feel relaxed, a peaceful energy blanketed me, and soon I was fast asleep and woke up refreshed the next morning. A friend called that day to share she had tried the technique and a healing came from singing the Lord's Prayer during the night.
It doesn't matter if you sing well or not--singing is healing, and we are here to sing our own song. Singing is cheerful medicine to the body. You can't be in a bad mood if you're singing. Also listening to uplifting, melodious music helps to shift our mood.

During the Christmas season years ago, I will always remember waking up in the night from a dream to hear a familiar carol. Synchronicity was at play. Kenny G was blowing his saxophone to the sweet melody of White Christmas on our stereo out in the dining room. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...rich musical notes filled the bedroom room. What was up? Drowsy, it felt as if I'd been tapped by an angel to wake me up from a dream.
I tiptoed out to the dining room. Our tuxedo cat, Angel, was the midnight Disc Jockey! She must have activated the stereo by jumping up on top of it. I smiled, turning it off, thankful for the presence of angels--unseen but not unheard or unnoticed.
Funny how our Angel cat happened to play the right song at the right time. "I'm dreaming..." I laid in bed, blanketed in peace. A touch of Christmas magic filled the night air as my thoughts turned to Archangel Gabriel who had blown his horn earlier that evening to welcome the Winter Solstice.

Remember you are never alone. God's Love goes with you wherever you go. Happy Holidays.
