I have a few thoughts and questions on this:
Do any of you have a spiritual connection to your Ukulele? Do you think your Ukes have a spirit, or energy of their own?
Is there anyone who uses their Ukulele practice/music as a meditation?
Here's a Ukulele based meditation music video from Jonathen Lewis on You Tube:

For me is yes to the first two questions and I want to, to the third. I feel all items that are made have the essence of the maker in them, and this is passed on to the user in a way. It's like building a friendship with the instrument as you learn to play.
I've been told a lot of composers get their music in dreams, I presume it would be the same with Ukulele players. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I can't see why it wouldn't. I certainly did with the flute some years ago.
This isn't a religious thing, more like a respect for the instrument.
