Music is healing.

When you sing, dance, and feel music in your soul, you are also keenly aware of the fact that music is healing. So, learn how music can help you heal.  It’s a simple way to sneak in some extra therapy just by listening to your favorite tunes.

Music is healing:  scientific proof

Music is therapeutic.  Research by the Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH) demonstrates not only that music can heal, but that music also improves brain health by:

• Increasing emotional well-being
• Fostering personal relationships
• Increasing immune system functioning
• Increasing cardiovascular functioning
• Increasing rhythm, coordination, and balance
• Facilitating body movement
• Relieving stress
•  Increasing fun and joy
• Enhancing socialization
• Engaging our minds
• Increasing cognitive functioning

Music is important to heal from trauma and can help you get through difficult times in your life such as heartbreak and loss.

Listening to music can become particularly important as we age or start to lose brain functioning from the onset of diseases like dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Music is healing:  maximize its benefit

Music is a powerful force of positive vibrations.

Listen to music you know and love to maximize the benefit of music as a healing tool.  This way, you are feeling it at the soul level.  Also, music is healing at maximum benefit when you listen to music you love often.

Try at least 3 days each week. And also, don’t forget to share the fun and joy with your sisters!
