There is an old saying, “Music soothes the savage beast.” Music truly can soothe you when you are upset over something. It can also help in relaxing our mind, and healing of our body.
There is a therapy called “Brain Music Therapy,” where they record your brain waves and turn it into music. It is reported to soothe and make people feel much better. Music therapy has been used for some time in the mental health field as well. There is one facility that offers music to their residents if they get angry and upset as a way to de-stress them.

Music is also helpful in lowering the rates of the cardiac and other systems to a more normal rate. In Melbourne (Australia), researchers did a music therapy study where folks involved not only in writing their own music, but listening and singing along to various musical productions. They found that patients’ life and emotional well-being were improved tremendously through this process. Music also can help those with autism as well.
Music can bring back thoughts of the past, maybe just a pleasant memory, or a special day. In the elderly, especially for those with memory problems, music helps them recall days they had forgotten. Still, just sitting and enjoying an evening of beautiful music is great for all of us, whether there is a mental pain or not.
