This morning while walking my two dogs I noticed something that I find very interesting. On my MP3 player I have quite a bit of Irish/Scottish music. Most days I just put on something upbeat and get a good 30 minute walk in before I start my day. Today I was focused on bagpipe music. I realized that when a bagpipe tune is playing, I get into an almost trance like state. My arms and legs are in perfect harmony with the music. My walking is effortless. My mind is completely clear of any negative thoughts. It's not until the piece ends that I even notice the effect the music has had on me. But I don't get this effect during my evening walk. Seems kind of odd too me. In the evening my music tends to be classical music. And more specific than that it tends to be flute oriented. My daughter is a flute major and has introduced me to all kinds of flute music so that might have something to do with it.

I'm not really sure where this is going. It's mostly just me rambling. But has anyone else had this kind of experience? I doubt that the effect the bagpipe and flute music has on me is entirely accidental. I'm sure there's some good reasons for it.

I'd like to hear about your thoughts!!!!
