MUSIC THERAPY
Music can be used as an effective relaxation and stress management tool.
With alterations in brainwaves, changes in other bodily functions are also noted. Those governed by the autonomic nervous system, such as breathing and heart rate can also be altered by the music therapy. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate, and an activation of the relaxation response, among other things.
That is why music and music therapy can help to counteract or prevent the damaging effects of chronic stress, greatly promot
ing not only relaxation, but health.
Music can also be used to bring a more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression and anxiety at bay. And can help keep creativity and optimism levels higher, bringing many other benefits.
Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure (which can also reduce the risk of stroke and other health problems over time), boost immunity, ease muscle tension, and more. With so many benefits and such profound physical effects, it’s no surprise that so many are seeing music as an important tool to help the body in staying (or becoming) healthy.
Music therapy stimulates brain, ease tension and remove fatigue. There are countless ‘ragas’ of course with countless peculiarities of their rhythm, volume, beats and piece of melody.
These different types of ‘ragas’ are applied in each different case.
Music therapy in a way teaches you the ART OF ENJOYING. Different types of music and sounds are used to alter the states of consciousness to reduce perception of pain.
