The Best Stress Relief Music
|
Think of how you are affected by different types of music. When I listen to rock-and-roll music, I just want to get up and move, dance, sing and play air guitar. When I hear a Gregorian Chant, I want to sleep. Most people are affected by music differently depending on their likes and dislikes.
Any music that slows heart rhythms is stress relieving. To some people country music is soothing. To others, it is annoying. To test if a certain type of music is soothing to your soul, take your pulse before and after a song. If your pulse is elevated after, it most certainly doesn't have a calming effect.
How to Choose Stress Relieving Music
When most folks think of stress relief music, they think of classical music. New age music is another genre used for stress relief. Even cool jazz music can be soothing and joyful. It is a very personal thing. Here are a few pointers that will help you narrow down a good music choice.
· Do the Pulse Test (above).
· The music "takes you away" to a more peaceful place.
· Your body becomes less tense.
· Your heart beat and breathing slows down.
· The music has a slow, steady beat.
When searching for stress relief music, classical, new age or smooth jazz are great. Two genres that are specific to stress relief are music intertwined with nature sounds and music specifically composed for stress relief. The range of music to choose from is expanding. Music has always been a popular way to relieve stress.
