Recent research from Neuroscience studies demonstrates that listening to certain music can reduce stress. The study identified in particular ‘Weightless’ by Marconi Union. It apparently reduced stress levels by 65%. I shall give it a try😊

Yes, I listen all day too and believe that music is so important to well being. It is nice, as a health care professional, to see some evidence of what we probably already know in our hearts😊

Keep it cheery not dreary as dreary can have the opposite effect. 😁😁

How true bobbybob. I can quickly go in the opposite direction if I choose the wrong music. 😊
there's many apps with sounds of nature, birds, the sea, usually under the tag meditation or sleep, as an outdoors person who loves being wild that's calming me down, and I love Enya, songs like Shephers moons, very quiet and soothing
Thank you I’ll check it out. I play guitar and yeah, that is so therapeutic. Music most definitely can resonate with the heart. I found Stewart Copeland’s BBC4 documentary about this fascinating. Thanks for the link, Amanda😊
Have you come across the app Insight Timer? It’s a free Meditation app with hundreds of music downloads amongst others😌
Wow! I really enjoyed your playing. Chris Issac, good song but especially like your version.
🤣🤣My only excuse is my foggy brain!
Have you been playing long? I sing so tend to play only things I can sing to🤣Currently learning anything by Kurt Vile or Silver Jews , Mountain Goats, War on Drugs. But I’d be chuffed if I could play like you!😊
Just learning the chords via an app. I say that but no energy at the moment so just listening and playing along in my head😂Where would we be without music, eh?
Thank you. That is much appreciated😊
Hi Alb2,
Today's busy at home but I had a quick look, and will try this for relaxation this evening. I can quite believe in this claim in this study though. Definitely music from my past is really helpful for stress reduction.
