Music Therapy
|
Listening to music does wonders to alleviate
stress. Please note that everyone has different
tastes in music. Listen to the music that you
feel comfortable. Sitting down and forcing
yourself to listen to relaxation music that you
don't like may create stress, not alleviate it.
Music has always been a great healer. In the
Bible, we learn about how David played the harp
to help ease his severe depression of King Saul
.
Music is a significant mood-changer and reliever
of stress, working on many levels at once. |

Music/Singing
Play a tune on the guitar and sing along.
That works even in the worst of times. By
the time I'm done with the song, I've
breathed deep, I've controlled myself to
some degree to be able to sing on key :-),
and I've come back into myself, and more
into the real time moment.

Many experts suggest that it is the rhythm
of the music or the beat that has the
calming effect on us although we may not be
very conscious about it. They point out that
when we were a baby in our mother's womb, we
probably were influenced by the heart beat
of our mother. We respond to the soothing
music at later stages in life, perhaps
associating it with the safe, relaxing,
protective environment provided by our
mother.
Music can be one of the most soothing or
nerve wracking experiences available.
Choosing what will work for any individual
is difficult, most will choose something
they 'like' instead of what might be
beneficial. In doing extensive research on
what any given piece of music produces in
the physiological response system many
unexpected things were found. Many of the
so-called Meditation and Relaxation
recordings actually produced adverse EEG
patterns, just as bad as Hard Rock and Heavy
Metal. The surprising thing was many
selections of Celtic, Native American as
well as various music containing loud drums
or flute were extremely soothing. The most
profound finding was any music performed
live and even at moderately loud volumes
even if it was somewhat discordant had very
a beneficial response. Whenever the proper
sounds were experienced an amazing
right/left brain hemisphere synchronization
occurred. The normal voltage spiking pattern
changed to a smooth sinusoidal waveform and
the usual voltage differential equalized.
The entire human energetic system is
extremely influenced by sounds, the physical
body and chakra centers respond specifically
to certain tones and frequencies. Special
consideration should be given to the
positive effects of one actually playing or
creating music themselves.
Among the first stress-fighting changes that
take place when we hear a tune is an
increase in deep breathing. The body's
production of serotonin also accelerates.
Music was found to reduce the pain during
dental procedures.
Playing music in the background while we are
working, seemingly unaware of the music
itself, has been found to reduce the stress.
Music was found to reduce heart rates and to
promote higher body temperature - an
indication of the onset of relaxation.
Combining music with relaxation therapy was
more effective than doing relaxation therapy
alone.

Maximizing With Music Therapy
|
|
As we mentioned before, there is not a
single music that is good for everyone.
People have different tastes. It is
important that you like the music being
played.
The following are general guidelines to
maximize the effectiveness of the music.
To wash away stress, try taking a 20-minute
"sound bath." Put some relaxing music on
your stereo, then lie in a comfortable
position on a couch or on the floor near the
speakers. For a deeper experience, you can
wear headphones to focus your attention and
to avoid distraction.
Choose music with a slow rhythm - slower
than the natural heart beat which is about
72 beats per minute. Music that has
repeating or cyclical pattern is found to be
effective in most people.
As the music plays, allow it to wash over
you, rinsing off the stress from the day.
Focus on your breathing, letting it deepen,
slow and become regular. Concentrate on the
silence between the notes in the music; this
keeps you from analyzing the music and makes
relaxation more complete.
If you need stimulation after a day of work,
go for a faster music rather than slow
calming music.
When going gets tough, go for a music you
are familiar with - such as a childhood
favorite or favorite oldies. Familiarity
often breeds calmness.
Take walks with your favorite music playing
on the walkman. Inhale and exhale in tune
with the music. Let the music takes you.
This is a great stress reliever by combining
exercise (brisk walk), imagery and music.
Listening to the sounds of nature, such as
ocean waves or the calm of a deep forest,
can reduce stress. Try taking a 15- to
20-minute walk if you're near the seashore
or a quiet patch of woods. If not, you can
buy tapes of these sounds in many music
stores.
