If you’re suffering anxiety and stress, know that you are not alone. With the financial crisis going on a global scale, plus, the onset of the flu pandemic, we can only worry more. There are so many pain relievers out there that will take out the pain from migraine. What an instant relief, and before we know it – we become addicted to these little miracle pills.
Surely, there are many alternative ways in feeling much better and becoming healthier: from healthy diets, exercises, meditation techniques, aromatherapy, to the very music you listen to. Healing from music may be frowned at by some people who have an innate dislike for classical masterpieces like those of Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and many others.
There are innovative ways in getting relief from music therapy. In fact, modern sound therapy is not only relaxing, but it is infused with alpha wave frequencies that are simply soothing. You may not hear it, but your brains can feel it. As defined by the American Music Therapy Association, Music Therapy is an established health care profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals of all ages. Music therapy improves the quality of life for persons who are well and meets the needs of children and adults with disabilities or illnesses.
Music doesn’t only heighten your senses, but it can help your mind focus and stay sharp. Rhythm has a calming effect that can promote relaxation and healing, down to the cellular level. When you’re worry-free, your body feels like floating in cloud nine. Such wonderful positive feeling is a gift that you can enjoy.
Here are Tips on How to Get the Most Out of Your Music Therapy:
1. Choose the right music that makes you feel calm and make sure you will love listening to it.
2. Play music that will gradually lift up your spirits, specially when you’re feeling depressed.
3. You can choose inspirational or motivational music with a speaker who is guiding you on how to reach a deep state of relaxation.
4. Make sure you’re well-prepared to listen. This means you are in a comfortable place and clothing, minus the outside distraction.
5. Listen – without Interruption!
6. Don’t just listen to the music, but feel it. Let the sound fill the very core of your being. Imagine energy filling you with each beat, reaching your very cells, healing every damage.
7. Pause and bask in moments of silence after having listened to a great piece.
8. Keep an inspirational journal where you can write your thoughts and feelings after a profound, relaxing session with sound.
Always remember that when you feel good, your body will feel the same. Let the power of music heal you from within. There are plenty of music stores and online downloads that you can purchase at an affordable rate. Some are even giving away full tracks or samplers for you to revel in.
Love Music… Love Health..
