Trevor Hall, a singer/songwriter, incorporates Hindu beliefs and teachings into his music; sometimes directly, or in the most subliminal ways. “Green Mountain State”, “Unity” and “You Can’t Rush Your Healing” have all had great influences in my life the past years, keeping me grounded and teaching me to positively explore and dive into my emotions.

His soul had been drained, and the repetitiveness of performing show after show had taken its toll on the musician. During this much needed break for healing and personal growth, Hall took the opportunity to marry his wife, Emory Hall. Finding solitude, both internally and externally, is an extremely powerful tool in the Hindu religion; so, to celebrate this new chapter of their life, the newlyweds went to the mountains of Vermont where they took the time to simply be: no worldly distractions of people or work to get in the way.

Going through this period of self-realization, the lyrics “You can't rush your healing/Darkness has its teachings/Love is never leaving/You can't rush your healing” (II. 19-22) really went to show me that the hard times I was going through were placed in my way as learning experiences. Listening to the mellow tunes of this song had such powerful repercussion on my mood as well. Not only the content of the words, reassuring me that everything will pass, but the actual vibrations of sound forced me into a meditative/healing state of
