Listening to Healing Force Music
Calming music - created for your soul, your body, and your mind.
Music composed for everyday people like you and me - calming music for healing, relaxation, stress relief, meditation, yoga, study time, and more.
How can Sound and Music be such powerful relaxing tools?
Sound enters the healing functions of the body via several paths:
Music can provide energizing effects at the main cellular level.
It can influence and indirectly help regulate the immune system, since music affects emotions which influence neurotransmitters, the chemicals that allow impulses to travel throughout the body. Which in turn, can "heal" our bodies from within.
Music can produce a strong calming effect on the mind and body, and be a powerful stress reliever.
Healing music focuses on the ability of harmonics to create vibrations that can change our body, our mind, and our emotional state. Those changes and sounds can initiate transformation, which initiates...healing!
Studies Show that Music Aids Healing in Various Ways
Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of music: it can lower blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates; reduce cardiac complications; increase the immune response; and boost our natural opiates.
Sound vibration directly aligns all energy fields and it's been shown that music is one of the most powerful and potent vehicles to bring about this alignment. What is known is that a number of regions in the brain are activated by listening to music.
One recent scientific paper out of Harvard showed music therapy helped stroke patients regain speech. And other studies found music helps to improve heart and respiratory rates and blood pressure, as well as anxiety and pain in cancer and leukemia patients. Scientists say the brain responds to music by creating new pathways around damaged areas.
When the right music is integrated as part of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, it can play a significant part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or in healing serious disease.
