The peaceful instrumental music on "The Journey” CD is truly an oasis for the soul providing a compilation of songs that Justin Knight has written and arranged through a journey totaling 9 CD’s and 25 years of writing. Through this journey Justin experienced times of great sadness, pain, grief and loss as well as extreme love, grace, and joy. He was abused, neglected, and ignored. As Justin says: "I have walked through the valleys and the pits of life and I have seen the view from the peak of the mountain. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, fear. I began writing music because I was hurting and actually came to the point where I wanted to take my own life by jumping off of a cliff. Through my journey I found a intimate healing relationship with Jesus Christ."

The Inspiration for The Journey CD. The cliff today stands as a conquered place and a hiding place where Justin has discovered a breathtaking view of God’s amazing grace and love from the summit. The artwork of this CD with the shoes and cliff represents not only Justin's story, but all who find themselves "on the edge." Your focus is down and concentrated in the past; all you can see is your hurts, fears, doubts, and problems. After going back to that cliff many years later Justin discovered that on the other side of the mountain stood God's hope and healing. "I never saw it before because my eyes and my heart, while standing on the edge of the cliff, was downcast. That was part of the journey. Now when I go to the cliff I see a breathtaking view of God’s amazing grace and love.

Justin’s passion is to help people. "Through this journey I found healing, eternal life, joy, perspective, grace and love. The first time I journeyed up Pikes Peak to the summit here in Colorado it opened my eyes. I saw along the journey beautiful valleys with flowers to take in, peaceful fresh springs to rest by, dark woods without a glimpse of light, and of course the summit itself where the view is breathtaking. The journey up the mountain to the peak is compared to our spiritual journey through life. Over the last 35 plus years, my journey has led me to a relationship with Jesus Christ. He has walked with me the whole way. I have never been alone. He has been my shepherd and guide for life, my counselor, my God, and my best friend. The music from this CD comes from God, delivered through my heart and hands. I pray the music will take you on a journey and lead you beside quiet springs as you are searching for answers and the meaning of life. I pray this CD will open your eyes to a breathtaking view of God’s amazing grace as you learn how to rest from all your anxieties. I pray you will discover how to be free from all the sin, stress, and all that holds you captive. As you listen I pray this CD will introduce you to the one who wants to guide you to the summit and experience a brand new life. I pray your eyes are opened wide to know God loves you so much that He gave his son away to die for you. He loves you and longs to be your God and friend. Please do not be in a hurry to reach your destination and miss all there is along the journey. Be still and get to know God. The journey and the God of the journey are breathtaking. The journey is just beginning."

 

 

"I lift up my eyes to the hills--where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the LORD,the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip--he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD watches over you--the LORD is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all harm--he will watch over your life; 8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore." NIV - Psalms 121

""Where music comes from—matters. Because if the music comes from God and is inspired from the One who created it all, then its motive and purpose is to connect the one who listens to a God who loves them. And so my prayer is that when people listen that they can actually connect to the very presence of God—because we have access." ---Justin Knight

The Healing Sound Of Music

Unfortunately, much of the western medical establishment refuses to acknowledge the incredible benefits of music. It is not employed regularly in most hospitals and medical practices, and is not covered by insurance. Despite the overwhelming amount of anecdotal evidence that music heals, the medical establishment will argue that there is no 'proof' of the efficacy of music - nothing which meets the rigorous requirements of the scientific method.

But healing isn't about science. Healing is about people. And real people are experiencing very real results from the healing power of music, often through the efforts of volunteers, in hospices, senior centers, and in cancer and children's wards.

Stress is the number one indicator of the likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke. More than diet, more than family history, more than weight. Stress kills. Music offers us relief from stress in many ways. It helps us to open ourselves emotionally and let loose with feelings that may be causing disease. It inspires us to examine ourselves, our lives and our relationships. Through our mind and emotion, music can reduce stress.

Music also has measurable physical effects on the body. Certain kinds of music actually lower blood pressure and heart rate, regulate breathing and lower cholesterol. For individuals with hypertension and related conditions, music can be much more powerful (and safer) than many prescription drugs.

Our immune systems are being challenged every moment. Stress, pollution in the air, our water, our food; new strains of antibiotic-resistant bacteria; they all take a toll on our body's ability to fight disease.

Despite the millions of dollars being spent on research, cancer is rampant today. Tuberculosis is actually becoming a problem again, and countless viruses are attacking from all directions. What can we do to reverse the ravages of a weakened immune system? Listen to and make music. Research has shown that alkaline music (such as soothing classical, East Indian, harp music and chant) actually increases the body's ability to ward off disease.

People undergoing surgery require less anesthesia, awaken from anesthesia more quickly and with less side effects, and heal more rapidly when healing music is played before, during and after the surgical procedure. Patients recovering from heart attacks and strokes respond much more quickly to treatment when soothing music is played in their rooms.

Many studies have shown the incredible effects that music has on chronic pain. People suffering from back pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and pain from injuries; all benefit from using music. Physical therapy is much more effective when combined with music. And burn victims experience much less pain when music they choose and enjoy is employed during their treatments.

Individuals suffering from depression need less medication and have more success in therapy when music is added to their course of treatment. Grief, loneliness, even anger; are all managed much better when appropriate music is added to therapy.

Autistic children and children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder all react positively to music therapy. Kids with learning disabilities show remarkable improvement in mathematics, reading and reasoning skills when they are exposed to appropriate music. The results are magnified many times when these same children have an opportunity to make music.

That's true of anyone suffering from nearly any malady. Making music - the act of creating melodious sound - is an incredibly powerful healing tool. Physical, mental and emotional challenges are met so much more easily when one can make music! It doesn't have to be performance quality - it just has to be from the heart. Singing, humming, toning, whistling, beating a drum, playing a flute or harp or guitar or piano - anything. When music is made out of love, incredible healing occurs.

On the other hand, music that is negative, or filled with hate or fear, can be emotionally and physically damaging. It inspires more fear, and from fear comes imbalance and disease. And just as the sound of a jackhammer sets up painful vibrations in our ears, music with discordant frequencies or hateful lyrics sets up dissonant vibrations in our bodies and souls. We must be conscious of the negative effects of raucous sounds and negative music, and counteract them with positive music created out of love.

The health of the physical body is inextricably tied to our emotional, mental and spiritual health. Music is a powerful catalyst for healing because it touches the very core of humanity... our souls. With music, we can remember our connection to the Creator and the powerful Healer within. We can take control of our health and our lives as we enjoy The Healing Sound of Music.
