Rhythm is everywhere, from the beat of our heart to the cycle of the seasons, from the movement of the waves to the scansion of words. Rhythm is physical movement, it is energy. Music, with its intrinsic connection to rhythm, is not only an art, but a powerful force that nourishes our soul, stimulates our mind and contributes significantly to our general well-being

Today I learnt some interesting facts about how the Gwo ka is made, its connection to the heartbeat and also the different sounds it can make. But most of all I experienced how the rhythm can take you over and help you achieve balance.

This morning I experienced the anti-stress effect of drawing a mandala. In the afternoon, the experience of being part of a group playing ka, creating new rhythms, singing in the local language, was unique.

It's true, for me music has always been a therapy. Since I was a child I have always loved music and especially singing. In fact I sing in a polyphonic choir and I like it very much. Singing makes me happy.

Today's lesson was all about culture: street food and local music. I really enjoyed singing in the local language - "golfono pa mi dodo" (my transcription) - a song that reminded me of how much of a torture students find the uninspired lessons...

Vibrations are travelling through my body giving me a sense of energy. I will try to use music, sounds and rythm to reduce stress and anxiety that often make me feel apprehension about what's to come.

Today we played in unison. Latin: uni - one, sonus - sound. We made one sound. Edgard pointed out that we were in harmony with our own hearts and one another. Beautiful sensation in the body as if the river of joy flows through me and everyone around me making us one - one sound! I am very proud of every person in a group as each of us made it possible to experience the oneness!

I have recognise again “music is my soul” and it gives me peace. Music helps us to connect with our soul or real self. It is a vital part of moments in our life, helps to spread happiness and joy in ouerselves.

I realized again that it is difficult to be a leader and that it is nice to be part of a group. I learned new rhythms that (very strangely) consist of seven or nine "parts". Playing drums in a group is a wonderful experience.

What stayed with me was the idea that since the body is made up of 75% water — and water conducts vibration so well — music has the power to heal. I could really feel the sound sinking deep inside, like it was tuning me from within. Music isn’t just sound, it’s a way to return to yourself, to the memory stored in the body. Through rhythm and vibration, it’s as if the water inside starts to flow differently.
