How Can Healing Music Help With Stress?

Yesterday our family had one of the most stressful and challenging days in a long time. My wife and I had to run to doctor appointments, deal with a sick dog, deal with teenage drama and through all of this the only car we have broke down leaving us stranded for the day.

It just seemed like one thing after another, we felt as if we were being tested by a higher power. These stressful events lasted until 1130pm.

When we realized how late it was getting we knew there was no choice but to get some sleep.

The Challenge:

We were so stressed from the days events our bodies were vibrating and we both figured there literally was no way we would ever get to sleep.

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.

This past Sunday we decided as a family we needed to get out of the house and go for a drive to the beach. After all we were starting to go stir crazy, as this past week we have had to prepare for Hurricane Bill and right behind that system was tropical storm Danny. What next?

We decided since there was no room for the family pets, Rex and Benji, they would stay home and keep each other company. When we leave them alone most times we play a dog relaxation cd as this seems to help them stay calm.

There are times we have had other cd’s (regular music), leaving the TV on, or playing the radio and while they each have benefits of keeping Rex and Benji occupied, there seems to be more of a benefit with the Dog Relaxation Cd.

Some of these benefits we have noticed when playing the Dog Relaxation Cd include:

• Less hyper once we arrive back home
• Very few messes such as toys scattered all over the place
• Dog food is not spilled all over the kitchen floor
• The couch cushions are still in place – there have been times when they would have the cushions on the floor like a 3 year old child.

The biggest benefit is they are less hyper once we get home. The habit we have always maintained is once we are home we leave the music on for a short period before turning it off. It is very relaxing music to listen to.

Our friends who have the Rottweilers still swear by Dog Relaxation Cd and to date have purchased several different ones. It is truly worth a try and you may find benefit to play a Dog Relaxation Cd.

Can You Benefit From Music Therapy?

Music is medicine for our souls and just as a gourmet recipe is written, music can be organized into musical prescriptions to cure a variety of disorders.

Music Therapy is not as simple as taking a CD, playing it and magically your cured. There are many disciplines involved in the study of the effects of music on the listener. Cognitive theory studies how music is perceived by the listener and how cognitive schemata (basic element of thinking) are activated when listening to music.

By itself music will not be considered medicine, even though a type of music called “Healing Music” can be soothing and provide many positive side effects which contribute to a better quality of life. For the person with very minor ailments healing music has been sufficient and its side effects have been very motivating.

If you consider yourself to have minor ailments you could experience such benefits as:

These are only a few benefits which you could experience, there are many more benefits to healing music.
