Music is a pleasure for billions of people around the world, whether it involves singing, listening to your favorite genres, or playing an instrument.

 

It is believed by many to heal the body, mind, and spirit. In fact, scientific research proves that music has the potential to:

​

• Reduce stress/anxiety

• Lower heart rate

• Release endorphins

• Distract us from negativity

• Improve focus

​

Almost any genre of music can be used as a benefit for one's health and well-being (this includes pop, rock, country, indie, baroque, new age, soothing, rap, and many more)! Moreover, different frequencies of music can put you in different levels of consciousness, so they can cause different changes in the body and mind.

• Beta waves - ordinary consciousness (14-20 Hz)

• Alpha waves - awareness & calm (8-13 Hz)

• Theta waves - peak creativity, meditation, & sleep (4-7 Hz)

• Delta waves - deep sleep, deep meditation, unconsciousness (0.5-3 Hz)

​

FUN FACT: Pythagoras and other ancient philosophers taught their students to release negative feelings by singing or playing a musical instrument daily!
