Relaxation Music Stress Relief Sound Healing Meditation YogaRelaxation, music, stress relief techniques, sound healing, meditation and Yoga are catching up fast nowadays.
In fact just doing Yoga and listening to music works wonders to ease symptoms of stress. However, you must note that all have different tastes in Yoga styles and music.
Do the kind of Yoga and listen to the sort of music you like. If you sit and force yourself to meditate or listen to any kind of music, particularly which you dislike could well result in further stress, rather than lessen it.
Yoga and music have always been considered wonderful healers. Yoga and music are wonderful mood-changers and stress relievers. They work on a number of levels at the same time. Do some asanas you like, do some breathing exercises, meditate, play a tune on the piano or sing along to your favorite song. They work wonders even at the worst of times. By the time you are done with your Yoga session or the song, you will have breathed out, you’ll have controlled yourself to a great extent and, best of all, you will have returned to yourself, more and more into the real time moment.
A lot of experts feel it is the rhythm of breathing in Yoga or rhythm of music or the beat that has the soothing and comforting effect on practitioners and listeners although they might not be conscious of . it is said that even as babies our mother's wombs, we were probably influenced by our mother’s heartbeat. We respond to Yoga and calm, comforting music later in life. This is probably associating things with the safe, relaxing, protective environment provided by “The Mother”.
Among the first stress-busting changes that occur when doing Yoga or listening to tunes is a slowing down of our breath. Our bodies’ production of hormones also goes up. Yoga and music, it is said, bring down pain during dental procedures, operations, migraines, sinusitis, etc. Practising deep breathing or listening music while working, apparently unaware of the music itself, it is found reduces stress.
