My Two and Half Year Old Grandson Selected A Meditation CD For Me
Over the last 5 months, after leaving a stressed and toxic environment work place, my nerves were just a jumble of negative what ifs. What if you get in a car accident, what if you lose your house, what if your real estate business doesn’t launch, what if ad nauseum. So I added the morning routine of morning guided meditations. Only thing is I still couldn’t quiet my mind. I kept thinking about bills to pay and how I was going to pay them. When you meditate, you receive benefit if you let go. But I was still having trouble doing that. My mind would jump around to other distracting thoughts before coming back to the guided meditation
A few weeks ago, my two and half year-old grandson was visiting. He looked at a rack of CDs I stored between two bookshelves. He went through them methodically, pulling out about 11 different CDs and putting them back in their respective slots. A few short minutes later, he handed me a single CD. It was Steven Halpern, Spectrum Suite, this is a CD that is designed to heal by music.
I was saying goodbye to my Son and Grandson and packing up his things and didn’t think much about the CD that he handed to me. But later I looked closely at it and remembered that this was a CD that I had purchased to relax and calm me about five years ago. I had gotten busy with a new job and had completely forgotten it.
I later learned that Steve Halpern’s music is used to help elders who are experiencing Alzheimer’s and other mental disorders. The healing tones help restore you a comfort level and reassure you, as well as a lot of mental and physical health benefits. I set it aside to listen later.
It was a couple of days later that I finally listened to the CD and it was so soothing and comforting that I wondered why I had stored it away in such a desolate place, dusty and forgotten. I was amazed at the effect it had on me. My muscles untensed, my bowels released (I stopped holding sh*t inside). And most importantly, my meditations have improved. I feel more supported and guided.

Although my Grandson still refuses to take naps when he is with me, I am blessed with his reminder of the incredible gift that I already had in my own home collecting dust. Children can give you a lot of spiritual direction, if you listen. It has helped me deepen my meditation practice and find comfort and a new self-directed path.
I invite you to try it. Treat yourself to these soothing and comforting sounds.
