Summary

What kinds of music do you prefer to listen to? Do you ever consider how that music – and specifically the lyrics – might be impacting your subconscious mind?

Personally, I used to listen to music based purely on the sound (see: hip-hop), and although I sang along (mindlessly), I typically didn't pay much attention to the words I was singing, or the impact they might be having on my subconscious. For example, in high school, I regularly blasted rap music (such as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre) through the speakers of my parents 1979 Toyota family sedan that they let me drive. :^)

That was until a few years ago, when I discovered "conscious music." What is conscious music? The word "conscious," according to dictionary.com, means to "be aware of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, or surroundings." So, conscious music would be that which enlightens one about the world around them. It is music that causes us to be aware of what's going on and causes us to really think deepr about ourselves and our lives. Conscious music is typically music with a positive, purposeful message behind it.

Now, I prefer listening to music with positive, purposeful lyrics that inspire me to expand my consciousness, and to feel more love and gratitude in my life – and few artists have inspired those feelings in me like Drew McManus, lead singer of the band Satsang.

Satsang's music and Drew's lyrics leaves me feeling like I'm in a meditation session or in the presence of a spiritual guru.

Today, Drew joins the podcast to share the story of his journey to conscious music, as well as how he overcame addiction and burnout to create the best art of his life and connect with audiences all over the world.

0:00.0	Hey everybody this is Hal Elrod and before we dive in today's episode of the podcast I wanted to take just a minute maybe a minute half to let you know about my latest book and the newest book in the Miracle Morning book series, it's the miracle
0:13.6	morning for teachers. Elevate your impact for yourself and your students. And if you
0:19.5	were a teacher or an administrator or you know a teacher administrator.
0:22.8	The Miracle Morning for Teachers is the perfect book to both elevate the life of every

0:31.8	And it really goes back, gosh, seven plus years ago, when I first
0:35.3	wrote the miracle morning, the original book, I had this vision where what if it was practiced
0:39.5	every day in classrooms around the world? What if students started their day with
0:42.7	meditation, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading and journaling and that
0:47.2	vision became a reality in February 2019 when my co-author and co-creator of the Miracle Morning book series Honor a quarter led a group of

1:14.2	students are now focused and calm and they thank me every day that we're doing
1:19.2	the miracle morning together and those stories those results feedback, help to shape the book that we are now on a
1:25.3	mission to get in the hands of every teacher in the world, right? That's the ultimate goal.
1:30.4	So you can grab a copy of the Miracle Morning for Teachers on Amazon, you know for yourself or your favorite teacher.
1:36.4	You get the audiobook on Audible and either way this book really is the next step in the miracle morning mission which is to elevate the
