Stress Relief Music / What is stress, anyway?

Stress is the autonomic response to external physical environment or commonly called stimulus. Since our responses are often automatic, and based upon conditioning from thousands of years of survival, it is nearly impossible to get rid of stress. And, that's okay.

Some stress allows for challenge, excitement and competition. These elements of life give that feeling of being alive and living with a purpose. But in order to take on challenges in a more centered way it is important to manage the stresses that come up. And one of the simplest and most enjoyable ways to relax our bodies and our minds is to listen to music.


It's All Relative

There may not be a specific "stress relief" music genre. The category of this type of soothing music depends on an individual's taste. A baby boomer who loves pop rock may tune in his ipod to his favorite Journey recordings. An opera lover will likely lounge in his easy chair and soak in his favorite rendition of Madame Butterfly.

For others, the sounds of nature may translate into stress relief music. The natural flowing water, the rush of the ocean, the humming of the birds, the sound of the wind, the singing of the crickets at night, or bell chimes can help one focus on their own natural rhythms, therby reducing stress.


The Studies Show...

Studies also show that stress relief music also impacts the human subconscious. Man is born a natural music lover. This is called musicology – music psychology, a branch of psychology dealing with music, which affects human behavior.  This study proposes that stress relief music can help people relax and live a healthy balanced life by staying focused.

Music has been used for hundreds of years to treat illnesses and restore harmony between mind and body. But recently, scientific studies have attempted to measure the potential benefits of music.

Here are some more benefits of listening to music that studies have revealed:

1. Music's form and structure can bring order and security to disabled and distressed children. It encourages coordination and communication, so improves their quality of life.

2. Listening to music on headphones reduces stress and anxiety in hospital patients before and after surgery.

3. Music can help reduce both the sensation and distress of both chronic pain and postoperative pain.

4. Listening to music can relieve depression and increase self-esteem ratings in elderly people.

5. Making music can reduce burnout and improve mood among nursing students.

6. Music therapy significantly reduces emotional distress and boosts quality of life among adult cancer patients.


Your Morning Routine

Playing soothing music around the house early in the morning while you are performing your daily routine such as brushing your teeth, making your bed, cooking, eating, answering emails on your computer, etc. will set the tone for a relaxed, and even inspirational day... the type of day where anything can happen.

To futher incorporate music into a busy life, try playing CDs in the car, or put the radio on when in the bath or shower and take portable music with you when walking the dog or when working out at the gym. Music has a unique link to our emotions, so can be an extremely effective stress management tool, so when you make the effort to carry its vibration with you as often as possible, it will serve you well.


Stress Relief Music Quotes

Many well-known people including artists and inventors recognize the healing (yet energizing) effect of music.

As Carlos Santana is know to have said, “Just as Jesus created wine from water, we humans are capable of transmuting emotion into music."

Albert Einstein’s take on music reveals just how passionate he is on the subject, “If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. ... I get most joy in life out of music.”

Why are iPods, MP3s, video-ke machines, CD players, DVD players and so many other music devices invented and constantly being improved upon? It's no accident. People from all over the world and from all walks of life are inspired by music. And by the simple act of listening to music, these people are becoming more closely aligned with the quantum field (the field of infinite possiblities).
