Song Story
Sending you “Fireflies” today and all of the magic that comes with them. Each month I have been highlighting a song from my album “Twilight Mist”. This is song is number eight and arguably one of my favourites because it describes a little part of my daily mediation practice. Both the song and practise are very simple and mantra like. It is a short meditation that was intended to help listeners connect through sound and their breath to their ancestors and guides for direction. Instead of questing for answers outside of us, this song invites us to go within and listen.
The story behind this song is that there is a place I go in the woods to truly connect to nature and to my source of strength. There is nothing fancy or particularly difficult about it. I close my eyes and breathe to quiet my mind and calm my nervous system. As I breathe, everything around me falls away and I tune in to what is happening in my body and my heart. From here, I sit in the stillness where I connect to my guides.
As the song describes, I ask if there is anything I need to know and if I am going in my highest direction. As the song suggests, hard things are surfacing and I just sit in them until they pass. While I am resting in calm and time seems to suspend, I see a firefly. The firefly is my sign that the stories and emotions I brought to this circle are have released. My worries have been transformed into beautiful fireflies. My heart is open, and I have surrendered. I am feeling what it is like to truly care for myself and to trust in love.
Song Medicine
Fireflies is in the key of Bb major and 472 Hz. This song helps open and clear the crown chakra (on the crown of your head). This chakra has 1000 petals which then reach into the universe to connect to 1000 stars. The Archangel that oversees this opening is Jophiel which helps you draw in cosmic knowledge and wisdom. There is a feeling of total knowing and an absence of doubt.
The star sign for Fireflies is Leo, which is fire. Transmuting properties of fire, clear the way for the cosmic knowledge. The crystal associated with this song is celestite which has mystical properties to elevate the spirit and invite inner calm and peace. The colour of this song is yellow which also corresponds to the flower of the buttercup which offers memories of a happy childhood with joy, happiness, and good fortune. Frankincense is an oil used in sacred ritual that is a symbol of holiness. The adaptogen of cinnamon attracts positive energy and repels negative ones as well as being a symbol for prosperity. The walnut tree is all about wisdom and knowledge and the healed brain – the nuts even appear as a human brain.
One amazing part of this song prescription that came to light as I meditated to this song was the balancing of the thyroid and the hormonal balance clearing. Not everyone can visualize, but this song has a healing impact of bringing reiki energy to open this ability. Balancing hormones brings a vibrant form of wellness that enables us to open to greater receiving of knowledge. The affirmation you can use with this song is “I accept support from all of life.”
