What comes to mind for you when I say "inspiring sounds"? It can be a multitude of sounds, after all. Music is one obvious source and choice for many. I love all kinds of music and listen to different styles depending on what mode and mood I desire to create. And then there are drums... yum! I also love the sound of silence; I tap into that space a lot at work when I design via the computer.
The sounds of nature: birds singing, wind blowing, rain falling, waves crashing, leaves dancing, crickets singing. The space that nature provides is priceless to me. Do you enjoy nature?
The sound of waves
My most played song on iTunes is a recording of waves crashing outside the villa that a group of us stayed at in Sayulita, Mexico, earlier this year. We had a very powerful week there, and I tuned into the powerful energy of the waves, which created zen for me in so many ways. I've had this short clip loop ever since, 55,800 plays and counting 🙂
From this space, I was inspired to transform my home into the beach house I desired, and I still have a ways to go. With the sound of the waves playing almost 24/7, my body & being is happy and experiencing the illusion as real, and every week the interior transforms. I now feel like I am living by/on the beach; pretty cool, huh?
I still go down to the ocean now and then as, ultimately, it's there where I desire to live. I have noticed I don’t crave the beach as much, and I know the inspiring sounds of the ocean waves have contributed to that. So until I move, I'm having the yummy beach vibe at home and now enjoy and appreciate my space more than I have in the past 8 years.
What does it create for you?
What this sound has created and generated for me is tapping into the zone where I access creative ideas and non-stop action mode. I wonder if it could be a contribution to you too? Click below to listen to the waves and see what it evokes for you.
