BEFORE PULLING my minivan from the driveway of our South Carolina vacation home, I cued up a playlist of post-punk club jams, which were once the soundtrack of my single days. Tunes by New Order, the Clash, and Joy Division helped me recall how long ago I had “danced like no one was watching.” Pounding synths connected my heartbeat to a past pulse of life and creation, just like the “om” mantra of Eastern meditation practice does.
Because music offers gifts that can fill a soul, Spiritual Reading can be practiced using songs, rhythms, and other sounds as “texts.”
