Have you ever heard a song or piece of music that just made you want to get up and dance?\u00a0 This is the power of rhythm and the more regular and predictable it is, the more effective for hooking you in!\u00a0 Just think of something like a Sousa March or a rock song like “We are the Champions”\u00a0 and “We will Rock You.”\u00a0 \u00a0It’s really hard not to be hooked in to the strong rhythm or not to respond at all to this.<\/p>\n
When your body is healthy and functioning well, the heart rate is strong and rhythmic and so is your breathing.\u00a0 Chances are that the hormones, and neurotransmitters in your brain are also firing rhythmically.\u00a0 We live in a rhythmic universe, the sun rises and sets predictably.\u00a0 The tides come in and go out in a rhythmic and predictable fashion.\u00a0 We know when each eclipse will happen and how long it will last.\u00a0 We know so much about our world and we know more than ever before about our bodies.<\/p>\n
When the rhythms of the environment go awry, we have\u00a0 earthquakes, tornados, floods, tsunamis and all kinds of chaos.\u00a0 When rhythms go awry in the body, people have heart attacks, panic attacks, tumors forming and health problems of all kinds.\u00a0 Now I am NOT suggesting that rhythm alone can cure of prevent any of these negative events.<\/p>\n
What I am suggesting is that rhythm and rhythmic motion contributes to a state of health and typically makes people feel better.\u00a0 Part of this is the element of predictability, which allows people to relax and heal or enjoy their life.\u00a0 When rhythm is a daily part of your life, chances are you’ll just feel better.\u00a0 Is there a drum circle in your area?\u00a0 More and more beach cities have one at sunset on the weekends, but I’m sure there are towns of all kinds that invite people to drum together.\u00a0 There’s also the choir, the community orchestra or band, or even rhythmic walking while listening to your iPod or our Healthy Headphones!<\/p>\n
Keep the rhythms pulsing in your life and notice the difference in your energy level and your happiness quotient!<\/p>\n
