Music Therapy

The modern lifestyle is a hectic one. When you're feeling overwhelmed, frazzled, tense, stressed, or weary..  you will eventually need an outlet. Enter - Music.

Music can be incredibly therapeutic. How many times have you heard a song and been instantly uplifted, soothed, or moved to tears? Music has been proven to be capable of raising or lowering the pulse, respiration and blood pressure. Not only does it raise our energy levels and improve moods, we unconsciously synchronize our breathing to the beat of the music.

So the next time you feel you need to unwind or release blocked or trapped negative energy within your body, put on some music. Not just any music... I'm going to encourage you to use a little intuition with this one.  Select music based on your mood.  Ask yourself "what song do I really want to hear right now?" Play it. Once that song is over, ask yourself again "what song do I feel I need to hear right now to release blocked or negative energy?" Play it. Keep asking yourself "what do I need to hear?", song after song, and over the course of natural progression you will hopefully begin to feel much lighter and free within your body, heart, and mind.

It's really quite amazing how something as simple and profound as music, can naturally release negative or stagnant energy within oneself.

I'll leave you with a wonderful quote that rings true.

"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"
