Although many people don't play
musical instrument, it is almost impossible to ignore the important role music played
in our life. We are listening to music all the time; be it on radio,
television, cinema, computer, ipod or even your mobile phone ringing tone. At
the same time, music also helps to make us feel relax and release our tension
and stress. There are many research reports that point out music have an
intense effect on our body and mind.
As the pace of the modern
lifestyle speed up, more and more people are not able to cope with it and many are
suffering from endless frustration, anxiety, irritation, anger, negative stress
and others. The rate of people seeking therapy or help with their stress problem
is increasing over the years and there is a need for some form of effective
stress management tools that people can use daily. Many started to look at
music therapy.
Music Therapy is based on
the belief that everyone is responsive to music, no matter how ill, disabled or
traumatized. At the same time, music has the ability to help trigger our mental,
emotional, and physical release, memory, pleasurable thoughts, and insights
Accordingly to research, relaxation
music can help to stimulate brain activity that corresponds to the beat of the
music. It will then help to relieve tension in other part of the human's body,
reducing blood pressure, slower breathing, relax heart beat rate, boost
immunity and totally relax oneself. Research also shows that music can bring in
brainwave activity that enables the brain to move into a calm and meditative
state easily, which essentially meant total relaxation.
That's why relaxing music
is always being played in the background for all the therapy or counseling
session. It can be a very powerful way to reach children, adolescents, and
adults in the therapeutic setting and it help people to feel more relax and express
their feelings freely. With the huge impact it has, the future of music therapy
is very promising and clearly, the health power of music cannot be undermined.
So the next time round when
you feel that you have a bad or hard day, why not sit back and relax yourself
by putting on your favorite smoothing music or simply take a light walk with
your headphone playing some calming music?
Really, listening to music
can have a strong healing effect on your body.
For me religious and spirtual music does the best but I have to agree any kind of music helps that soothes the soul. Now as for that heavy metal, solid drum beat that literally gives one a headache, well it may help some but not the many. Hey to each his own.
I can relate about the music. I think that prayer and music is the best therapy I can find. Then there is writing which is also relaxing. They all take your mind off of self. God bless
You are right, Michelle. I play both guitar and piano and they really help me to relax. I started to pick up writing lately and at this moment, I can't comment whether it helps to relax. Times will tell. :)
