			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and psyche. In fact, there&#8217;s a growing field of health care known as <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/tensiontamers/a/od/stressmanagementglossary/g/MusicTherapy.htm" target="_blank">Music Therapy</a>, which uses music to heal. Those who practice music therapy are finding a benefit in using music to help cancer patients, children with ADD, and others, and even hospitals are beginning to use music and music therapy to help with pain management, to help ward off depression, to promote movement, to calm patients, to ease muscle tension, and for many other benefits that music and music therapy can bring. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways. The following are some of effects of music, which help to explain the effectiveness of music therapy: </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Brain Waves: </span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black"><a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/2006/pr-brainwave-053106.html" target="_blank">Research has shown</a> that music with a strong beat can stimulate brainwaves to resonate in sync with the beat, with faster beats bringing sharper concentration and more alert thinking, and a slower tempo promoting a calm, <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/tensiontamers/p/profilemeditati.htm" target="_blank">meditative state</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Also, <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/pr/2006/pr-brainwave-053106.html" target="_blank">research has found</a> that the change in brainwave activity levels that music can bring can also enable the brain to shift speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you&#8217;ve stopped listening. </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Breathing and Heart Rate: </span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">With alterations in brainwaves comes changes in other bodily functions. Those governed by the autonomic nervous system, such as <a href="http://www.incrediblehorizons.com/psychoacoustics.html" target="_blank">breathing and heart rate</a> can also be altered by the changes music can bring. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate, and an activation of <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/stressmanagementglossary/g/relaxationresp.htm" target="_blank">the relaxation response</a>, among other things. This is why music and music therapy can help counteract or prevent the damaging effects of <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/stresshealth.htm" target="_blank">chronic stress</a>, greatly promoting not only relaxation, but <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/jobstress.htm" target="_blank">health</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">State of <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mind</st1:place></st1:state>: </span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Music can also be used to bring a more <a href="http://faculty.weber.edu/molpin/healthclasses/1110/bookchapters/musicchapter.htm" target="_blank">positive state of mind</a>, helping to keep depression and anxiety at bay. This can help prevent <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/stresshealth/a/stresshealth.htm" target="_blank">the stress response</a> from wreaking havoc on the body, and can help keep creativity and <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/optimismspirituality/a/optimismbenefit.htm" target="_blank">optimism</a> levels higher, bringing many <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/optimismspirituality/a/optimismbenefit.htm" target="_blank">other benefits</a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Other Benefits: </span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Music has also been found to bring <a href="http://faculty.weber.edu/molpin/healthclasses/1110/bookchapters/musicchapter.htm" target="_blank">many other benefits</a>, such as lowering blood pressure (which can also reduce the risk of stroke and other health problems over time), boost immunity, ease muscle tension, and more. With so many benefits and such profound physical effects, it&#8217;s no surprise that so many are seeing music as an important tool to help the body in staying (or becoming) healthy. </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black">Using Music Therapy:</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black"><br />
With all these benefits that music can carry, it&#8217;s no surprise that music therapy is growing in popularity. For more information on music therapy, visit <a href="http://www.musictherapy.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple">the American Music Therapy Association&#8217;s website</span></a>. </span><span style="font-family: Arial"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: Arial">Using Music On Your Own:</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial"><br />
While music therapy is an important discipline, you can also achieve benefits from music on your own. This <span name="st" id="st"><span class="st">article</span></span> on <a href="http://stress.about.com/od/tensiontamers/a/musicrelaxation.htm" target="_blank">music, relaxation and stress management</a> can explain more of how music can be an especially effective tool for stress management, and can be used in dailly life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
