I think it sounds like a great place Malady. And it works for you so thats the important part.

Angela, I love listening to music that takes me away with the beauty of the instrumental sounds. I just downloaded tons of classical, and it takes me to a safe place in my mind.

I had not allowed myself for such a long time to listen to this music (as odd as that may sound). Because it helped me feel and I was afraid of this. Sometimes this type of music moves me so deeply that although I may feel some peace, I also feel pain. It takes me back and makes me remember. Like triggers. But I also feel safe as I can put myself kind of out of the "harmful" fears and into a world that I create full of beauty and joy. So I experience different types of feelings all at once but with the help of this music I also feel in a safety net where I am allow to be in a "inbetween state". (does that make sense?).

In the end, usually I feel at peace with this music. It can get too powerful at times as I also enjoyed certain pieces growing up. Some of this I have to be careful as it can trigger a little too much at once. But I know which ones I am okay with and when I can listen to certain things.

I really hope this makes sense cause it does to me yet not sure if I am relating it well.

Justy
