Daily Quote Featuring Claudia Madrazo

Music is a vehicle that links our inner and exterior worlds. It comes from outside, filters into our ears and touches them to stimulate our brains, infusing our minds with energy and spurring us on. Once this is accomplished, it penetrates deep into the very fibers of our being, identifying with our feelings and emotions, connecting us to beauty and radically altering us. Music is our connection to the world and to others, but most of all to ourselves.

- Claudia Madrazo

Today’s Practice:

Most people have heard the phrase, “They’re playing our song,” a reference to music that a person affiliates with an intimate relationship or special time in their life. What songs from your past spark emotional memories whenever you hear them?

Bring the “magic” of music into your home by sharing some of your favorite songs with your children. Invite them to share their songs with you as well. If you like, make up songs together.
