We’re celebrating the wonder of music today on World Music Day. 🎵
Music has a powerful effect on our well-being. It can regulate our emotions when we’re feeling stressed or anxious, and can boost our mood during times of sadness and loneliness. It can also affect productivity levels, increase mental clarity, and help us sleep better.
Music can also become a meditation when we practice intentional listening. Here’s how to set up for a music meditation:
🎧 Pick a song you love and get comfortable
▶️ Press play and close your eyes
🎵 Focus on the music. Notice the melody, the rhythm, the tone, and the emotions it evokes in you. Whenever your mind wanders, bring it gently back to the music
⏸️ When the song ends, pay attention to how your feel in body and mind.
Which song always lifts your spirits?
