Music and health

What effect does music have on your health? What kinds of music are better for relaxing, what types are better for exercising? If you are having a stressful day, the sounds of classical music can be very soothing or melodic jazz tunes can center your soul. On the other hand, if you are wanting to pump yourself up for the gym or a running race, maybe some rock music will do the trick.

If you want to listen to a leader in the field of the connection between sound and healing, take a listen to a radio program on One Hour at a Time with host Mary Woods entitled "Steven Halpern: Enhance your Recovery with sound and Music". "Steven Halpern is an award-winning recording artist, composer, producer and pioneering sound healer whose music has helped millions worldwide experience deeper relaxation, manage stress, enhanced yoga, meditation and massage as well as pure listening pleasure. His 1975 debut album "Chakra Suite" created a ‘quiet revolution' and established Halpern as the founding father of a new genre of contemporary instrumental/new age healing music. Steven has produced landmark research exploring the connections between sound, consciousness and healing and is the author of two books, "Tuning the Human Instrument" (1977) and "Sound Health" (Harper & Row, 1985), that introduced the concept of sound healing to the mainstream audience.
