“Music has charms to soothe the savage beast, to soften rocks or bend the knotted oak.” This is a famous line from William Congreve’s play The Mourning Bride in 1697.
Maybe you think there’s a shortage of savage beasts to charm, rocks that need softening or knotted oaks to bend in the 21st century, but I am here to show that we have their equivalent in our everyday lives.
The need for developing our ability to be calm, soften and be flexible has never been greater than it is right now, and our access to solutions that work to support us has never been more challenged.
Scientific research shows that listening to music releases endorphins that reduce your respiratory and heart rates, blood pressure and oxygen consumption and levels of anxiety. It also improves your mood, distracts your body from feeling pain and helps to increase motivation.
Music is a universally understood language that touches everyone and has the power to change lives. Now is a good time to point out that not all music is equal.
When played as soft background music, particularly in the evening when there’s a lot of activity in the house, like dinner to prepare, kids to get bathed, fed and settled, and a million other things, the last thing you need is more noise.
Classical and baroque music can calm, soften and relax everybody’s frayed nerves. Don’t make the mistake of thinking this is listening music at this time though. This is done to change the atmosphere from super-charged to a lower vibe, and needs to be done subtly – that means barely audible!
There are some good examples of music genres for creating feelings of relaxation, peace and calm. Classical music, Baroque music & Solfeggio frequencies are top of the list.
Classical music, and other calming music with a rhythm of 60-80 beats per minute, is particularly good to encourage sleep, can lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. It increases serotonin production. This helps bring down levels of anxiety, panic and depression.
Baroque music: To quote the researchers, “brain imaging research using electroencephalography found that Baroque music can bring about a balanced, stable, calm state of mind and improve learning efficiency.” This is such an easy way to improve focus, memory, productivity and mood.
This wonderful calming music with its 50-80 beats per minute could possibly produce results when some of the recommended sleep medications fail.
Solfeggio frequencies are specific tones of sound that help to improve various aspects of physical and mental health.
Nicola Tesla was obsessed with the significance of 369. He said “if you only knew the magnificence of 3, 6, and 9, then you would hold the key to the universe.” He did seem to be a bit OCD with it however, because he was known for having a habit of circling the block 3 times before entering a building.
