Music is the language
of emotions. A bond between our feelings
and music is fundamental. We know what type of music lifts us up, and we know
what music stirs emotions, causes reflection, or increases feelings of power. The key is to use any music you like, any
time you can. Studies show that it doesn’t matter what type of music you listen
to, just enjoy it enough to provide benefits.
After World War
Two, musicians often played for soldiers in hospitals, across this country.
Noticing marked improvement in mood and improvement physically, nurses and
doctors began to hire musicians. Yes, music is medicine. It promotes movement
and relaxes muscle tension. It motivates patients and lends an extraordinary
hand in rehabilitation. Music Therapy is
used in all populations today.
Aristotle
believed that music imitates the passions or states of the soul, and music that
imitates a passion, arouses the same passion in the listener. And Plato said
that music “gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the
imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything.” Aristotle and
Plato agreed that music could be used in order to discipline the mind.
Philosophers and Scientists also know that music releases creativity so if
you’re looking for something to inspire a creative project, turn it on and turn
it up.
