Music as a mental therapy

Music as a mental therapy

From Bisnis Indonesia

Every kind of sound has a certain influence on the human mind. Some sounds create negative influences, such as buzzing or loud sounds as it disturbs the peace and quiet. Whereas the chirping of birds, the sprinkling of water, the blowing of the wind, the rustling of leaves or harmonious music can have a positive influence.

Of course we cannot avoid the negative sounds, but we can counter them by playing music that influences us positively.

Music with a fast and upbeat tempo, and played repeatedly, can raise your spirits. However listening to too much of this type of music might make you feel restless.

If you want to feel peaceful, an instrumental classical piece or slow romantic music is recommended. A solo guitar music can also positively influence your emotions.

As one of the tools for this type of therapy, you can record soothing music on the entire cassette and play it as a background sound wherever you might be: at home, in the office or in your car.

During your busy hours, this type of music can help you relax and be more patient. It will also reduce negative emotions and help you concentrate better.

Music such as these can also help you concentrate better as when you are meditating.
