Why?

Music stimulates several areas of the brain's emotional centers, particularly the limbic system, which plays a key role in processing emotions. 

Classical music and film scores, for example, are crafted to evoke specific emotional responses, which can provide a pathway to emotional healing and balance. It’s said they can aid in releasing trapped or blocked emotions, such as fear or sadness, and also encourage lighter feelings of joy, peacefulness, and excitement.

therapeutic  effects

A shift in your emotional body directly affects your physical body, for example: 

“Weightless” by Marconi Union

The band collaborated with sound therapists to create “the world’s most relaxing song.” Through a process called entrainment, the song naturally slows our heart rate to match the rhythm of the song’s beat from 60 to 50 BPM. This can take about 3-5 minutes so the song’s 8 minute length allows for your system to sync. With no repeating melody, the song also relaxes our brain since it has no way of predicting what’s next. 

Beyond the energetic impact of sound, there is also subconscious programming in everything we consume, including our music. Be selective about the songs you listen to, and consider if the words (and tones/frequencies) of them best support your desired mood and intention.
