Sounds that silence
Excessive stress can result in physical and mental problems. High blood pressure, heart ailments, and loss of memory and sleep are destructive byproducts of everyday stress. Music therapy relaxes both physically and mentally; it's a regular component in massage, meditation, yoga, and Tai Chi. Music with a tempo of one beat per second silences the chaos and allows body and mind to enter into deep rest. Incorporating sounds of nature like gentle breezes, rhythmic rain, splashing water, chirps of birds, and distant calls of wildlife synchronizes body and spirit in a style known as white noise.
Sounds that strengthen
Relaxation improves the body and mind. A regimen of music and nature sound therapy can strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of heart attack as well as improve memory. Stress is at an all-time high. When stress hormones are raised and excessive amounts of adrenaline and cortisol are released into the body, behavior is adversely affected.
Lack of sleep or interrupted sleep due to stress bottlenecks signals from the brain, causing deterioration in personal and professional functions. Use of nature sound therapy clears the mind and promotes restful sleep.
Relaxation routine
Nature sounds CDs can be used in any room in the house, as well as at the office. To begin, find a place that is comfortable and free of distractions. Attitude is everything: indulge in the tranquility. Music therapy is a form of self-hypnosis; concentrate on a pleasant image and think peaceful thoughts. Starting at your feet, let the sounds move through your body, working the tension out of your muscles. Tighten and relax tense areas. You are a doll filled with heavy sand, and as you relax the sand slowly drains out. Focus on breathing, aligning it to the rhythm of the sound patterns. Let the white noise carry you into a deep and restful sleep.
