It is not news that we are easily influenced by the things around us, including those we cannot see. One of these influences is music as a spirit. Yes, music is a spirit, and it holds significant power over people and their emotions.
The influence of music as a spirit is often overlooked and considered to be minor by the majority. However, the opposite is true. Music has a profound effect not just on our emotions but also on our memory. Keeping that in mind, let me enlighten you on the power of music as a spirit.
The Power of Music
Music Affects Our Emotions
Music almost always elicits an emotional response. It could evoke sadness, excitement, or hopefulness. Music can either elevate or dampen our spirits. This is why when you feel a certain type of emotion, you either play music that mirrors that emotion or improves it.
Music Encourages Certain Actions
Certain business owners understand music as a spirit and use it to their advantage. Have you ever wondered why clubs are always filled with loud, upbeat music? This is because club owners know that music motivates their customers to buy drinks and alcohol.
Music as a spirit influences people to take certain actions without them even noticing it. It can influence you to take drugs, be violent, or engage in sexual activity. The influence of music is why people create playlists for different occasions. They subconsciously benefit from the power music has over their actions.
Music Stimulates Our Memory
On various occasions, I have heard people describe music as nostalgic because it can remind you of a specific time, place, or even person. Music has a big effect on our memory.
Music can remind us of both painful and happy memories or events. If we listen to a song during an event that has a big effect on our emotions, that song will always remind us of that event.
Music Exposes Us to Spirits
When music puts us in a state of high excitement, it becomes quite easy for evil spirits to influence us to do their bidding. Music as a spirit can cause us to let our guard down to such an extent that we become extremely vulnerable.
Our vulnerability stems from our heightened and out-of-control emotions. Once we are no longer in control of our emotions, we are at the mercy of forces around us.
Music as a spirit exercises so much power over us that we can fall under the control of others. “Others” in this context could be humans like us or spirits. We can choose to use the power of music to our advantage or let it control us.
