Here
is what Don Campbell, of the Mozart Effect, says about the power
of music to soothe, calm, and de-stress:
""What
is this magical medium that moves, enchants, energizes, and heals
us? In an instant, music can uplift our soul. It awakens within
us the spirit of prayer, compassion, and love. It clears our minds
and has been known to make us smarter.
Music
can dance and sing our blues away... It lets the child in us play,
the monk in us pray... the hero in us surmount all obstacles.
It helps the stroke patient find language and expression.
Music
is a holy place, a cathedral so majestic that we can sense the
magnificence of the universe, and also ... so simple and private
that none of us can plumb its deepest secrets.
Music
helps plants grow... lulls children to sleep ... enchant[s] leaders
and nations, captivate[s] and soothe[s], resurrect[s] and transform[s].
Yet
it is more than all of these things. It is the sounds of earth
and sky, of tides and storm. It is the echo of a train in the
distance, the pounding reverberations of a carpenter at work.
From the first cry of life to the last sigh of death, from the
beating of our hearts to the soaring of our imaginations, we are
enveloped by sound and vibration every moment of our lives. It
is the primal breath of creation itself, the speech of angels
and atoms, the stuff of which life and dreams, souls and stars,
are ultimately fashioned." - Don
Campbell
Tips
for Listening to the Soothing, Quiet Classics.
As
the music plays, allow it to wash over you, rinsing off the stress
from the day. Focus on your breathing, letting it deepen, slow
and become regular. Concentrate on the silence between the notes
in the music; this keeps you from analyzing the music and makes
relaxation more complete.
