Harmony

For this episode Robbie and Colin are guests along with return guest Maria, to discuss harmony. Harmony is a concept in music as well as in life. Does knowing about harmony in one area help you understand and create harmony in another? 

How does Balance relate to Harmony? Are parts of a system in balance a form of harmony, or does there need to be an aim, a goal, a higher purpose to really experience harmony? Even when we get it right, our harmony may be dissonant - sounding or feeling or creating something that might sound clashing or unresolved. But just as there is a resolution to dissonance in most musical pieces, there will be a return to pleasing harmony in our own lives and we can help that along with some regular spiritual or yogic practices.

We also think about what harmony means in architecture and yoga, as well as music, to further appreciate that harmony may not be everything sounding perfect, ringing true all the time.

One of the most important factors in creating harmony in our own lives is listening - being aware of ourselves and what we might be contributing to the systems in which we are involved - whether that be the systems inside yourself, or your part in your family or community.
