How music helps in healing people?

• Melodies are stressbusters: Apart from people depending upon music for overcoming negative emotions, therapists also use music to invoke positive emotions in people. For instance, many therapists use music therapy for treating autism, schizophrenia, etc. In addition, many people believe that music is an excellent way of getting rid of moderate to severe emotional and mental disorders.

• It connects the mind and the soul: Many say music is not for the mind; instead, it’s for the soul. The combination of melody, tune and rhythm, and a perfect pitch and content make music spiritual and universal. The vibrations music produces help the listener to identify themselves through those vibrations and feel peaceful and rejoiced.

• Music is an energy booster: Music is an excellent source of motivation for activities that people might not be motivated to do otherwise; for example, listening to upbeat music while exercising lifts the mood and motivates towards breaking own records. Moreover, music synchronises with other activities, like doing laundry or washing dishes; listening to music sets everything synchronised and smoothes out the action.

Music helps in befriending people with one another and also it befriends people with the melody. People’s sense of belonging with music is unique and cannot be replaced with any other art form.
