Can You Paint with Healing Music?

A few days ago my wife enlisted my help in painting our bathroom. Anyone who knows me understands I really don’t like to paint or wallpaper. It is like watching glue dry I can’t stand it. :)

With my current physical limitations due to a spine injury years back, there are not many tasks I can do, as well chronic pain limits my abilities. Just the same she thought I would be able to handle painting the bottom half of two small walls.

Considering everything she does for me and our family I didn’t want to let her down so I decided to help out as best I could.

How Has H1N1 Flu Affected Your Mental Health?

Mental Health - Sunset On The Beach

As you are aware H1N1 flu has been one of the top stories in the news over the past several months.

Recently we have been hearing of vaccine shortages and an increase in H1N1 confirmed cases – we have even been exposed to news of young people dying of this particular flu strand.

All of this influx of information is starting to take its toll on our mental state of mind. In my family we have 4 children and 3 grandchildren to be concerned about – when you can’t control whether your loved one becomes infected with the H1N1 virus or not, it can be very trying on your patience level.

reBlog from healingmusicemporium.com: Can We Stop The Bully With Relaxation Music?

Relaxation Music

I found this fascinating quote today:

In my opinion a bully is someone who has low self-esteem, who for one reason or another feels a sense of power when he or she picks on someone weaker than themselves. When a bully sees the fear in their preys eyes, that gives them a great amount of power. The relaxation music we discuss here is for the victim not the bully.healingmusicemporium.com, Can We Stop The Bully With Relaxation Music? | HEALING MUSIC EMPORIUM, Feb 2009

Can Listening to Healing Music Increase Your IQ?

Relaxation Music

As a music connoisseur, it has always been my understanding that listening to Mozart would increase your IQ and then in later years the idea was expanded from Mozart to all types of Healing Music Compositions.
