If you have ever felt your spirit grow lighter, your heart grow more joyful, and your worldly burdens disappear for a while as you listen to ecclesiastical or other beautiful music, you know its power. Some say the human voice is the most perfect instrument for music when chanting, humming, or singing sacred lyrics, especially when used with spiritually evocative words. Many churches, in fact, consider sacred song as a form of prayer.
Music as communal expression is probably one of the most effective means of using it. In the time of Jesus, Jews and the earliest Christians would have normally sung in the synagogues of that era. Only much later were prayers such as “Our Father” sung during church services. One of the earliest hymns that survives today is “O Gladsome Light” from the fourth century when it was mentioned by Basil the Great, an early Christian church father. If you desire contact with the angels, why not sing a hymn or prayer that you love as the means of watering an arid heart in preparation for sending out your soul call? Keep in mind, however, that singing can shorten your breath and excite your emotions. You want to calm the breath and subdue the emotions to reach the higher state of vibration to reach your angels. So sing, but remember to use the singing to induce a state of spiritual love and kinship with your angels.
