150 Ways Musimorphic Works For You

This is a non-exhaustive list of how Musimorphic works for you: no pretty pictures, just the facts. We chose these examples to illustrate the vast opportunity for Musimorphic outside of clinical practice. They apply equally well to individuals, families, teams, and entire organizations.

For completeness, we have also provided links for “music caregiving” (sometimes branded as “palliative music” or “life music care”) and clinical “music therapy.”

For proof of Musimorphic, there are thousands of years of anecdotal evidence to review, at least one hundred years of modern clinical research to support you, and, best of all, your own self-evident results. We describe this in more detail as is relates to the Musimorphic Quest on this page.

Beyond supportive/background music, these examples invite intention, purpose, and skillful use…no therapist is needed. Want to know more? Ask us how!

Spiritual Skills

It is difficult to define spiritual skills in precise terms but as one respected psychiatrist describes it, they “connect one to something one can neither see nor hear.” We think that definition could be expanded to include the other physical senses as well, although it may be wise to exclude “thought” as we generally perceive it as a particularly spiritual skill in favor of “feeling” or “intuition.” Science is weak on such things. The importance of spirituality in music is unmistakable: music connects human beings in ways science does not yet fully understand, both to the more intuitive parts of self/other awareness and to other people. There is no prerequisite to connect music and spirituality, although it is important to state that music and spirituality in no way interfere with one’s religious practice, and, in many ways, music only enhances the religious experience.

Musimorphic is a supportive tool for processing metaphor, allegory, and simile, which are timeless ways in which the language of spirituality is presented in the great wisdom literature of the world, from the Bible to the Torah, to the Koran, to the Bhagavad Gita and beyond. Musimorphic also helps skill-up for processing paradox, perhaps the ultimate gateway to spirituality in our age.

The world’s original full-MEPS practice

Quantum Intention: Why What You Want Matters

“You can’t always get what you want.” ~ The Rolling Stones

Have you noticed how impossible it is to realize some desires, while others come to us easily?

Why does that happen? Can we change it in any practical way? If so, how? How can we improve the odds of realizing our desires?

To demonstrate the importance of building a strong foundation for desire, and how what may be called “quantum intention” or “Q.I.” is essential to turn desires into realities, we need to look at the four aspects of being: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual (MEPS). Taken together, a full-MEPS foundation is strong, solid, and infinitely extendable to support any intention, which makes it “quantum” in a very practical way. We will return to this concept in a moment.

To begin on a very positive note, it is self-evident that you can, reliably and practically, convert your desires into your realities using quantum intention, which is a full-MEPS practice.

Examples of Failed Desires

It’s helpful to begin with some common macro examples of how desires without quantum intention fail before moving to the micro level of desire, where you have influence over what you want.

Politics

If there ever was a shining example of the failure of macro desire, politics is it. How can the noblest and basest intentions be combined for good? How can it be possible to want, say, social justice, and then coerce other people to obtain that desire without being unjust to some people?

The assumption that winning some power gives one (or one’s coalition) absolute authority to enforce their macro desire on others seems like a Dark Ages skillset. And yet, from dictatorships to democracies, this is how politics in the Post-Modern Age work – or fails to work, to be more accurate about it.

Economics

The game of wealth accumulation seems more and more zero-sum, doesn’t it? That is, taking from the poor to benefit the rich, with a finite pool of wealth, is a game that favors only the desires of the rich..

The Foundations of Desire

There are many practices for wellness, success, relaxation, focus, and growth. In fact, just considering which ones to use for any of those five big reasons can overwhelm you.

Have you considered the potential for practices that are foundational? What do wellness, success, relaxation, focus, and growth all have in common? That commonality would be their foundation, and a practice that worked on the foundation would support all the other outcomes we want, wouldn’t it?

What would that foundation look like?

• It would have to involve the head brain. What we think is foundational to who were are, correct? We need the head brain to steer us toward what we want.

• It would have to engage the heart so that guardrails around what we feel are part of the mix. We don’t want the intensity of emotion to overwhelm us, but we do want our feelings to help.

• Our physical machine is also a part of the foundation and must be part of the practice. Without it, the head and heart have no ride.

• What else is part of the foundation? Consciousness? It’s a loaded word, but neurophysiologist and computational neuroscientist Christof Koch has made a respectable and noteworthy career out of researching consciousness deeply, and so have many philosophers, poets, and scientists, including Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. David Hawkins’ levels of consciousness are well known, too, and spiritual seekers familiar with Buddhism recognize that there is a “there” there, whatever “it” may be. Consciousness might be a head brain aspect, although many researchers now refer to the heart and gut as part of consciousness.

• What about our beliefs? The ones science can’t prove without physical evidence, but can predict mathematically? What about inspiration, creativity, and intuition? The part of love that is beyond the brain, heart, and body? What about the soul? For convenience, may we call all of this – from faith to magic – “spiritual?” Would you agree that “spiritual” must also be part of the foundation?

Full-MEPS

The foundation supporting all the other practices is mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Let’s call that “full-MEPS” for short.

Would you like to have a foundational full-MEPS practice supporting every other practice you do, for whatever reason? Here’s a very short list of some very popular things that work better when they rest on a full-MEPS foundation (you may recognize some of them from the earlier list of Musimorphic benefits):

intention	raising consciousness	mindset	EQ (emotional intelligence)
IQ (intelligence quotient)	work (physical energy)	intellectual energy	relationship (professional or personal)
non-linear thinking	logic	paradox	reason
emotional stability	emotional agility	creative energy	rest
change management	anger management	intuition	wellness
spiritual health	mental health	emotional health	physical health
introspection	self-awareness	dopamine regulation	planning
sobriety	personal growth	nature	therapy (all kinds)
prayer	meditation	yoga	marital arts
sports	journaling	emotional marketing	sleep
uncertainty	NLP	quantum entanglement	quantum intention
mental exercise	emotional exercise	mental exercise	physical exercise
stillness	silence	solitude	simplicity
immersion	engagement	kindness	gratitude

If you think about it, even practices that are for a specific area, such as the head brain or heart brain, also need support from the other parts of MEPS, don’t they? Try to solve a complex problem while extremely agitated, or attempt to sleep while jacked up on caffeine, and you’ll quickly understand how interdependent most practices are.

You may have other practices, rituals, or habits that could work better resting on a full-MEPS foundation. Grab a piece of paper or your journal and write some of them down.

Full-MEPS Practices

You may be aware of many practices – ways of minding yourself – that have aspects of MEPS. The following short table is a quick summary of a few of them.

Are you proficient in any of these practices? Would you like to be? May we suggest that you select the one that approach full-MEPS?

Some have observed that practices such as mindset, mindfulness, and meditation, while mind-centered, can reach into the spiritual realm of consciousness as well. For completeness, so can plainly physical practices such as breath work, distance running, and surfing! What we’re after here, however, is a practice that, beyond merely opening potential, begins and ends with all four foundational aspects: mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.

Musimorphic Practice

May we suggest that adding a Murimorphic practice to any of your existing practices can instantly make them full-MEPS? Why? Because a foundational full-MEPS practice such as Musimorphic supports all the others, so when you work at the full-MEPS foundational level, everything above that gets the benefit. And yes: we are suggesting that psychedelic journeying is full-MEPS and, to be very clear, doing anything else while on a psychedelic trip is not wise! Musimorphic practices, however, while they can be amazing for a psychedelic journey, have the same benefits and can be done while sober.

Supporting any practice with a full-MEPS foundation is what we call Quantum Intention. Any desire that rests on powerful mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual full-MEPS intentions is unstoppable. That full-MEPS foundation is quantum – the smallest amount of energy something can possess – and Musimorphic practices magnify that small amount of energy until it becomes powerful enough to support the realization of your desires and reach the end states you want.

Some have suggested that we can think our way into the end states we desire, and it would be irresponsible to suggest that the head brain is not important to the process! Some believe that EQ is vital to the process. While the need for physical health seems obvious, many physically-challenged athletes have shown that physical ability can be remarkable in spite of what may appear to be disadvantages. Finally, if history is any guide, great spiritual leaders have offered much to civilization right up through our own era.

Would it not be advantageous to combine your various practices around a full-MEPS foundation? Especially if that foundation was itself so deeply ingrained in our human systems as the sounds and rhythms that resonate so deeply within us? The worldwide hunger for and interest in mono-frequency self-care, from Solfeggio tones to Rife frequencies and beyond, combined with a renewed interest in binaural beats and modern scientific research into these directional, vibrational impacts on organic life, represent a great start.

But we can go deeper. Safely. Powerfully. Beyond the mono-frequency and binaural beat is the realization that one tone alone is boring, that we crave the naturally-occurring binaural beats in the sounds of nature or a symphony orchestra, that the surrounding envelope of fully-realized music inclusive of frequencies thought to be beneficial is more healing than the single tones alone, and that beyond even the palpable metaphor of music itself lies the invitation to journey, to silence, to heal more fully than ever before.

Around 500 years before the Common Era, civilization understood and used music this way. Isn’t it time to go there again?

Ten years later, in 2016, he consolidated his work into the Musimorphic Quest. In this guided, gamified, experiential environment, participants discover and remember their innate connection to this ancient transformative technology.
