Healing By Music

Music seems to have a positive effect on our moods and health in much the same way color does. Soft music, when combined with some relaxation techniques, has been used to lessen stress and relax muscles. Music touches the spirit and can be very relaxing and healing. Researchers suggest that music increases the production of pain-killing hormones called endorphins in the brain. It creates the relaxation response. Music healing has produced some good results in those undergoing alcohol and drug rehabilitation. It’s been proven beneficial to those suffering from depression, high blood pressure, migraines, and ulcers. Although soft music can be soothing, certain types of hard rock music can have the opposite effect.
