Harmonious Union-Music & Memory°°°Afri-InLeo 35

Memory helps humans coexist. I was just thinking about what drives everyone to do what they do and go wherever they want to go, feel emotional for something or someone, to the point of grieving their absence, some even dare to take their lives for such reasons and my answer came down to "Memory". Take for instance the lifestyle of people with dementia (Memory lost), they can't perform those humanly functions they've been doing while they were normal like every other human being, they won't even notice if something valuable to them is missing and that's where it seems they're starting life from afresh.

Memory is vital and forms over 80 percent of human whole activities/existence. Whatever you can do to protect memories you should do and that's why we keep important scenes as pictures so we can reminisce over those beautiful moments again and again when we later stumble on those pictures.

Music has played a very crucial role as memory enhancer in our schools, workplace and life activities generally. I remember how I used music to read and grap some complicated structures and formulas in school back then, we used to have a lot of structures to study for exams, sometimes the only option is to cram them and guess what? Music came through wholly for me, I was able to grab allot of theories and formulas for my exams all thanks to music.

Till date I still reside the books of the Bible through the help of music, sometimes I skip which book comes after the other if am asked to open a particular book and chapter, it's not all the time but the few times I struggle with my memory to give me back what I've stored there, the song from my childhood days about the books of the Bible showcases and help me through..

There are certain music that reminds us of certain scenes in our lives too, have you ever played a song and boom, a movie of a scene in your past begins to play in your head? I remember certain things in my life through some songs I listen to. There are songs that reminds me of some persons also and the connection we shared together. I wouldn't want to dive deep into those scenarios, I just want us to get the point that music as allot to do with our memory. Music can create memories and help us remember them in future times, all you need to do is to play that particular song and everything will come back as if it was a replay.

I will love to touch the aspect of music that has to do with the subconscious mind of a person, maybe it relates to the theme maybe not but have you imagined music as therapy to some health and mind complications? I have watched a scene where music was used to revive a lost mind back to life. It was like magic because what happened was beyond medicine, it's like a chemistry between the mind, spirit and soul. Music could temper with your spirit and invoke some certain reactions/emotions that correlates with the purpose of that music. Different music serves different purposes.

I know that music could affect our memory either positively or negatively, I also know that music has the ability to temper with our inner mind too. So how does music, memory and spirit relates? This is something I would love to dive deeper into but will hold on and listen to my readers opinion about this too...
