Music is known to aid in relaxation, can raise your spirits, give you great joy--and help you control your pain.
It is thought that music causes the body to release endorphins (hormones that counteract pain). Slow music may relax a person by slowing breathing, increasing air intake, and slowing the heartbeat. Scientists are learning that it increases energy and helps change your mood. |
