Everyone knows that music makes then feel good.\u00a0 Generally music makes you feel better than you did before you started listening.\u00a0 Music often creates good feelings that are so irresistable to me and I have to jump up and start dancing!\u00a0 Seriously!\u00a0 My dog looks at me with the most puzzled look!<\/p>\n

I’ve always wanted to know exactly what music does to my brain and my mind and body.\u00a0 Here is a delightful and interesting excerpt from an article online: Music appears to be processed in the right hemisphere of the brain. The way we experience music also affects our nervous system.<\/p>\n

There are different neurons that respond according to what kind of music is playing. Music can effect hormones, encourage the production of cortisol, testosterone, and oxytocin. Music can even trigger a release of endorphins.<\/p>\n

Beyond the biology and the actual responses of your body, there are definite responses of the mind as well. You\u2019re aware of how you feel when you listen to music, but how do you know that it\u2019s actually having any sort of effect on you? There is scientific evidence of the way it can affect your mind! It\u2019s clearly more than just a suspicion \u2014 it\u2019s fact!<\/p>\n

The most famous experiment related to this is probably the one that was performed at the University of California at Irvine. College students were assigned to three different groups. The first group listened to Mozart\u2019s sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. The second group listened to a relaxation tape. The third group listened to nothing at all.<\/p>\n

After listening, they took a Stanford-Beinet reasoning test. The results were clear \u2014 those who had listened to Mozart had improved scores!<\/p>\n

Many musical therapy experts recommend making music a part of your daily life, because its effects can improve with time. There is evidence that, over time, your language skills, creativity, happiness, and more, can improve with regular musical therapy.<\/p>\n

The evidence is also stacked up strongly in favor of music\u2019s healing power! A positive link has been found for those suffering from things like autism, Alzheimer\u2019s, Parkinson\u2019s, and Tourette\u2019s.<\/p>\n

There are neuroscientists who are working to discover exactly why music has healing powers. After all, it\u2019s pretty amazing that it can stimulate certain areas of the brain, speed healing, and decrease anxiety and increase optimism.<\/p>\n

There are different components to music that can have an effect. Pitch, harmony, frequency, melody, and rhythm all effect the brain in different ways. We know that some of the brain locations are involved in helping to heal and soothe the body as well.<\/p>\n

The brain can be taught and stimulated to perform better \u2014 and it seems that music is the perfect vehicle to do that.<\/p>\n
