How Has H1N1 Flu Affected Your Mental Health?
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.
For months I have been writing of the uses of healing music and relaxation music techniques but recently I have lost myself in the stress of everyday life.
It was just in the past few days I was reminded of the importance of healing music in unusual circumstances such as the current pandemic.
What Happens If We Are Healthy and Over-Stressed?
Even though you may currently have good health, being over-stressed about the current events can take its toll by breaking down your immune system.
Over the past few days we are hearing more stories of health care workers being overwhelmed by the increasing concerns and drastically increasing crowds at clinics and/or hospitals.
I have been asked to provide samples of healing music to a department within our health care system as a way to help combat stress of the events unfolding in our communities. the technique they want to use is to provide a relaxing atmosphere during staff breaks and lunches.
This is a great idea for our front line health care workers who are under staffed and over worked.
You need to take this one step further – why not use healing music in your office, home and even car to help you become more centered and relaxed – this is a musical antidote to help ward off damage to your body as a result of stress, whether it be stress from H1N1 pandemic or everyday life stressors.
There are several different styles of healing music you can listen to that could be categorized as a musical antidote – one particular artist I know is Mark Romero – he has his own unique style of music which can transform you from being anxious or over stressed to relaxed and centered within minutes.
Take a look for yourself and notice the play buttons below the images which give you an excellent sampling of his music. Click here!
