Music is an amazing language. It speaks to everyone regardless of their native tongue. It evokes emotion on every level, and soothes the injured soul. It is one of the most important means of communication known to the human race.
When you are working out, you get your heart rate up by listening to music with a good beat, to help get you motivated. You can then listen to music to get your heart rate down while cooling down from your workout. There are also health benefits in listening to calming music, or classical for relaxation, or before sleep. Even more than a nap, or meditation, Mozart's music is said to stimulate the part of the brain to enhance learning, as well as the ability to recall information during testing.
Music is a very uselful tool in getting one motivated for tasks, changing mood, or relaxation. The wellness field has long used music, and continues to use music more for therapeutic means. It can change your mind from distressful thoughts, and help improve mood to a positive state.
Cutting stress levels using positive and uplifting music is greatly recommended. It has positive effects on the body on a cellular level, and encourages a healthy immune system. Mind, Body and Spirit is all connected, and if one is out of balance, the rest suffer. Use the tools you have to heal yourself. If you need a little motivation, find some music to get you started, and go from there. For the relaxation aspect, I really recommend some Mozart. Even if you don't normally listen to classical music, you can aquire quite the appreciation for it, given the chance. After all, before any modern version of music that may be your usual preference, Mozart, Beethoven and the rest of the classical crew were dedicating their lives to art, and fighting polical and social battles doing so. Yes, even with that mellow stuff. Do a little read up on it, it is fascinating history, and the music itself...pure genius.
Be happy and healthy!

Music To The Soul....
"Art is Life!"
The arts are truly important to our lives in many ways. They are a means of relaxation, expression, and cultural treasure. Be it visual arts, writing, theater, dance or music, we need to preserve the arts for our own good.
Many people dismiss rather than encourage developments and support of the arts, concentrating on science and math, or sports. I am here to tell you that music itself is one of the greatest possible tools for development of the academic mind, and the athlete.
Mozart's music has been been proven to improve test scores of university students, if listened to for 20 minutes before exams. More so than a 20 minute nap, or quiet meditation ! While studying, it is said to enhance learning ability and retention.
Different forms of music can get you motivated for your workout, your work day, a fun time out with friends and family, or the big game! It is used in operating rooms to help relax both doctor and patient, while keeping blood pressure levels down for the benefit of both. It encourages healing in the body on a cellular level. It soothes us when we need to relax, and enhances our lives with it's unspoken language.
Music can evoke the greatest of emotions, and add a great effect to any movie. Think of your favorite soundtracks, or even a favorite movie, and go over that music and how it makes you feel.
Music Therapy is a growing form of highly effective means to treat people in many cases of trauma and illness. When used in conjunction with other forms of therapy,such as visual arts, diet and exercise, it's healing effects are multiplied intensely.
The arts help us deal with everything, and encourage parts of the brain, and even the cells in the body into appropriate action. Scientists have even discovered that amino acids in our DNA even have their own individual sound! Musical notes for our Genetic Codes! How amazing! Music is in us all, and must remain an integral part of the lives of each and every one of us. Preserve the arts, preseve and empower the artists, for without them , what would we be?
