Music has long been found to affect emotions and bodies positively. They can alter your mood and even help you manage tasks. For instance, faster music makes you alert and helps you concentrate; a slower tempo relaxes your muscles and minds; upbeat music makes you feel optimistic.
With that said, music may be just as effective at helping you relax and manage your stress. Research finds that music around 60 beats per minute causes the brain to synchronize with the beat that causes alpha brainwaves, or frequencies with eight to 14 cycles per second. The alpha brainwave is present when we are relaxed and conscious.
If you want to induce sleep, you need a delta brainwave of five hertz. You may need to commit at least 45 minutes to listen to calming music while lying down in a relaxed position. Researchers have also found that listening to music seems to affect brain functioning changes as medication.
What Music Type Relieves Stress?
The best music type to relieve stress is Native American, Celtic, Indian stringed instruments, flutes, and drums. They effectively relax the mind even when played moderately loud. Moreover, rain, thunder, and other natural sounds also relax the mind, especially when paired with other music like light jazz and classical music.
Other than those, here are music types that can help you manage and relieve stress:
1. Violin Music
Music played from a violin is very calming and features a soothing and beautiful sound often layered. Listening to this music will surely help you relax and take a breather. We have just the perfect piece to help you relax. “Flying Spirit” is a violin instrumental that will help you take your mind off of things and just enjoy the calm music.
