Creativity must be expressed in some way...and everybody has their own unique method of expressing this through different art forms or outlets. Music is one of the greatest means to feel and create emotion or release emotion. Whether you're the creator of music or just the listener, the impact on the spirit is profound, nonetheless.
When you combine the physical culture of swinging Indian Clubs with the power of music, a beautiful expression emerges. Music has a pulse - a rhythm - melodic high and low points. The body feels this inner combination of melody, harmony, and beat and must find a way to externalize it. Swinging clubs is formed through circles and spirals that feed off of gravitational pull and with that, an inner pulse and "melody" is formed. Expressing the music through club work merges the two together in a symbiotic expression that just makes sense! With adding music to club swinging, it brings the brain stimulation of complex movement patterns and also the emotional fulfillment of feeding your heart and soul. Talk about wellness! Mind, body, and spirit training with only positive benefits.
From my background as a classical singer, the act of swinging clubs while listening to various types of music has not only helped me create more fluidity in my club swinging, but a deeper connection to the breath, and more awareness of how my hands communicate with the clubs through the various patterns. Swinging doesn't become stiff and mechanical, but a living and breathing expression of me!
