What is devotional music?

If music creates a space where my heart is touched and where my thoughts disappear I get a taste of devotion. I do not have a religious background yet I feel devotion. Maybe it is my devotion to honor the life I have been giving, the time I have been gifted to develop my consciousness.

As music can be explained very differently by people so can devotion. I resonate with the music which lifts me into different states of being and I feel the devotion for these states. So for me devotional music is sound which carries me beyond this reality and also brings me back safely.

Some feel devotion for God and I feel devotion for music as a vehicle to reach that place I call the divine. That place is like coming home. I relax, breathe, restore and continue my path.
