How Music Can Help You Heal
“Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch.”– Debasish Mridha
Music is one of the most healing forms of therapy.
You know when you feel bored or feel like crap, and then the right song comes on, and your mood just changes... music is so powerful.
And it is incredible how it can change a room, change an environment, change how people interact with each, and change how your MOOD significantly.
At our house music plays a big role in our day-to-day life.
Not playing it, although my husband does play the guitar and compose (usually sweet and silly) songs for our girls, but listening to it.
Music helps us keep calm and carry on. It helps us focus and daydream, sleep and dance, and especially it helps us make art!
Music can:
- calm anxiety

Music can open up your the right side of your brain which controls creativity. This helps give your more ideas and tap into your imagination and creativity.
Do you have a project you want more ideas for or to be able to complete it in a better way?
It can help you come up with solutions and start to flow.
Every time I put on music, my paintbrush flows so much more smoothly and areas that I was stuck on just go away.
When I need to brainstorm ideas and solutions to something, music helps me come up with ideas that I never would have otherwise come up with.
