Music is a true universal experience. It has an extraordinary ability to cross borders and languages, connecting us at an elemental level. Mounting research even demonstrates that music has the ability to heal the body and the mind, including: enhanced physical, emotional, and cognitive functioning; decreased depression and anxiety; improved blood pressure; decreased heart rate; and improved pain management, among many other benefits.

Because of its extraordinary healing ability, music is an ideal partner for the 8 Practices of Living Hope. As you choose to pursue Hope in the face of adversity, music can comfort, encourage, and help you on your journey.

Hope Practitioner and Artist Ken Cannon has curated an eclectic and evocative mix of music specifically tailored to help you as you begin your first step on the path to Hope– the Practice of Surrender. From soothing instrumental pieces to soaring inspirational vocals to uplifting, upbeat rhythms, the Surrender playlist can support you as you submit to what you cannot control and accept what is meant to be.
