I'm new here but thought I would jump in and say that I agree wholeheartedly with this line of thinking. Each day I use that tranquil music to ease into meditation. Even if only for a few moments it can set a whole day into perspective. We all search for that inner peace and strength to easier cope with all aspects of our lives. I believe that this proper mindset is crucial in understanding any beliefs.
I search for my own "religion",,,,my own beliefs. An out of body experience, an indescribable closeness with nature, and especially a closeness with animals. Crystals and healing stones. Reiki,,,,and the list goes on.
I'm closely connected with animals,,,,maybe the only person to have slept with two dozen skunks in his bed on a regular basis, lol. Yes,,,I'm descented. We are animal rehabbers and it's been so helpful to enter the minds of so many creatures. Raccoons, opossums, deer, prairie dogs, ferrets, foxes, varieties of squirrels, rabbits, mink, and the list goes on with those who have needed assistance. The key with the animals is not solely to understand them but,,,,they must be able to understand you as well. No,,,not like Dr. Dolittle, but close. I have many stories to relate and may share a few here.
That inner peace and strength,,,,, it's there,,,,just gotta learn how to tap into it.
Keepin dem tails up,
