5 reasons why every health and wellbeing practitioner needs to mix music

1. Clients go deeper into their healing

When you create a smooth musical mix, your clients feel the support of the music to go deeper into their healing and transformation. Without a break in the music, those trance and altered-mind states are more likely to happen, dancers, breathers and yogis have more motivation to break through blockages and barriers, and the repetition or flow of changing beats takes people more strongly and safely into different aspects of their selves

2. You reconnect with your creative joy

Mixing music is not only creative, it’s also a lot of fun. With just a few simple skills, that anyone can learn, you can sound like a professional DJ mixing two tracks together. And that’s both incredibly exciting and very satisfying! It can feel like being a kid again, in a good way. And when you’re creative, you’re tapping into the creative energy of the Universe, which is fulfilling and expansive, and can open up so many other doors

3. The audience is discerning

Gone are the days when you could get away with a bad mix. Go to any supermarket, restaurant, bar or coffee shop and you’re likely to hear a well-mixed playlist in the background. The audience are used to it. And if we’re going to attract more people to our events, we need to offer them the quality they know. And luckily, with the advance of technology, it’s now really easy to do that

4. We stop traumatising

In the same way music can heal, it can also traumatise too. Clashing beats, out-of-sort-harmonies and long gaps of silence are not going to do what our practices do, and music itself does – relieve stress and anxiety, boost brain power, increase awareness, amongst many other things. An unskilled sound can shock your clients out of their experience and traumatise instead of heal

5. Our industry comes back into integrity

With music often playing second fiddle in the teaching of our practices, we’re not having the discussions we need to – about legality and licensing. Many health and wellbeing practitioners rely on Spotify in their sessions, which is totally illegal. Let’s do this right for us, our clients, the music-makers and our industry
