Your Psychic Jukebox

Hi All!

Usually, I write these posts about one particular song. This time, I want to talk about the power of music using playlists.

For those who don't know, a playlist is simply a group of songs that you've put together for a particular reason. Songs you like to listen to on a Monday. Or on a rainy day. Or that are all by, or about, a particular artist, or about a particular place, or thing.

I often talk about my Psychic Jukebox, which is basically a huge playlist, containing thousands of songs. I use this for readings on Psychic Tapestry's Love Show (Friday's at 5:00pm Pacific on Blog Talk Radio) as well as my private readings (either through this website or in person on Mondays at Myztic Isle).

I set my playlist to shuffle, which is to say that I let it play randomly, and I ask my angels and guides to play the song that is the message for whoever is getting a reading. 

I thought, instead of writing about one song, I'd offer up a list of songs that I find inspiring. Not just inspiring. I find these songs especially conducive to connecting with my guides and angels. And I thought you might, too. And there are two songs by each artist, just to help you really build your jukebox.

This is not a list of my most favorite songs. Or a list of songs that guarantee you any kind of connection. As always, your intention is most important. And using that, I hope you'll find this list of songs a springboard to create your own Psychic Jukebox.

Don't get overwhelmed by this list of songs. Feel free to pick and choose what you like, or what you feel strongly about. You may not know, or even like, all these songs. And that's okay. Use them to find songs you do like, or that resonate with you.

And you may also find that there's another version of one of these songs that you prefer. That's okay, too. You should use whatever you feel is right for you.

You can create playlists on Amazon, Spotify, iTunes and Napster, among others. If you don't own the music, and if you don't subscribe to streaming services (or if you don't want to), you can always search YouTube, where you should be able to find most of these songs.

Don't treat this like a homework assignment, searching for meaning, solutions or some kind of Da Vinci Code secret in these songs, or in some kind of special combination. Just select what you feel will work for you, and add in whatever else springs to mind (and believe me, if you start to do this, songs will spring to mind).

Okay, I could keep going for days, but that's more than enough to get you started!

The playlist you put together does not need to include all of these songs, Or half of these songs. Or any of these songs, actually. This is just a sample to help you get started building your own Psychic Jukebox.

If it all seems too overwhelming, just pick five songs. Put them together in any order and let them play. See how that feels. If you like those five, but want more, start adding in others. As many, or as few, as you want.

Remember, you are building Your Psychic Jukebox. Any rules, guidelines or limitations are totally up to you!

And I'd love to hear from you if you do start to do this! Let me know how it goes!

Wishing you Love, Light and Music!

Ken
