Such a personal thing for me, I have songs that are exactly like you describe, they used to completely destroy me and now I have to hear them often to remember how to feel if that makes sense. And I also have songs that I would rather never listen to again at this point due to the memories and feelings they bring back.

The mantra that I have been using lately is: "This is just a reflection of a part of myself."

I say this in good times when I see something so happy it makes me tear up, and in bad times when someone is so annoying that I want to fling them into the sun. I feel that everything that makes you happy or sad or angry or shut down is just a reflection of something inside of you that you either like or hope to change.

Your post makes me think of this song:

Dance Music by The Mountain Goats

Love everything in this article including that good things are happening for you. Thanks for the mantra and prayer as I can use these for more intensive meditation I’m now doing of tapping into the quantum field. I definitely have a song like that, not necessarily danceable but one I clinged to when I needed it. Now when I hear it I’m grateful to Source and myself for allowing me one more hour to know my life was one to share. The lyrics say it all. Never told this to anyone.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0U6u2D8cMU

Repeating positive words or verses to yourself on an hourly or daily cycle gives 'feel good' instruction to the subconscious and has proven time and time again to be very effective.

Thanks for giving out all this help.

My prayer,

"GOD grant me your grace and strength to endure the truth. Open my eyes and ears to the truth. Grant me the courage to see, hear and speak the truth and the courage to Love."

Be careful what you honestly ask for. He always listens.

Music, verse ,are prayers.

Prayers of pain become prayers of joy when we understand the truth of it.

Thank you for sharing the song with me, I haven’t heard that one before. I don’t know the story behind what it means toyou specifically, but by listening to the lyrics and even the melody, it’s an extremely powerful one. I am right there with you on the reclamation journey, big love to you and thank you so much for sharing your experience.
