Music has the ability to go beyond the rational mind and assess deeper layers of consciousness, when we listen or make music we are not just taking in the sound through our ears our entire brain get involved. Music recruits the motor areas of the brain, which get are too stabbing and our bodies swaying and also light up that emotional center of the brain which lift our spirit and reduced our stress levels and activate the part of the brain which allows the mind to wonder day dream and be creative.
Whenever we depressed or traumatized it can be challenging to get enthusiastic about anything. And yet when we play some music the sound light us up.
When we suffer from anxiety fear or panic attacks listen to music can help come our nervous system and decrease levels of stress.
Music and sometimes improves our memory music has the ability to evoke specific thought emotions and memories serving as a bridge between past and present. Anyone who has ever suffered from a breakup or lost someone they loved will recognize its power to access this moment long forgotten listen to a certain song can transport us back to that time and place and allow us to feel it all over again
What I love so much about music it is profound impact and ability to forster connection and community. Play music together dancing sharing a playlist with friends or even attending a concert with strangers makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves in a world. For centuries in a world with so much isolation and loneliness music serve as a unifying force that brings us together across generations.
