MUSIC!
Sadly, this won't be effective at all for anyone who can't hear.

But there is healing power in music. Certain tones, beats, rhythms, patterns, melodies, can create changes in your heart rate and brain waves. It can trigger endorphins, change your seratonin reuptake levels, make you cry, laugh, it can break your heart and mend it, or just keep you comfortable company when you really need to experience deep sorrow.

From Classic Vinyl to Chopin, Bach to Zappa, Rhianna to Rachmaninov - there's something for everyone to help reset the body-mind connection.

I wonder what kind of healing power Death Metal music would have?

So Zappa's music can help reset the body-mind connection? Zappa was certainly very talented and experimental. Hmmm, yeah, I guess "Cruising With Ruben & The Jets" with it's classic late 1950's/early 1960's doo-wop inspired tunes like "Cheap Thrills" might take you down memory lane with a weird twisting thud when realizing it isn't anything like the lane you remembered. Or was it?

If you search "healing music" on YouTube, you will find many selections at certain megahertz that the body resonates positively to.

I use music all the time to channel emotions, everything from singing in the car, to music to motivate me in the gym. Hmmm, I used to listen to Vivaldi in the morning (allegros), I should start again...

When my husband died I sang all the time for about 2 years, just to vent off emotions.

"Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast." -- William Congreve, 1697


Not to mention the tortured soul.

I started dancing at 12 and into later 50's and was a disco queen. When I feel I need a lift, I love this youtube version of Africa. Danced to Fats Domino's hits.

For me it's stuff like that, or Can't Find My Way Home by Stevie Winwood - sung by almost anyone really - from himself, to Allison Krause, to Styx - I love all three versions. It's the combination of melody and guitar that "gets" me right in the feelings place. Most music by YES, Thick as a Brick by J.Tull - if you listen to all this stuff you're discover a commonality that you really can't define. But it's that commonality that brings me to a place within myself that just makes me feel better, no matter whether I'm in physical discomfort or mental/emotional discomfort. GooGoo Dolls "Slide" does it too.

Absolutely! Music is my lifelong therapy, since before I could talk. I grew up singing and playing the piano, and loved going to dances. Now I am 68, still sing, take dance classes and go see bands and dance. Depending on what one needs at the time, there is a type of music to take you there. New age, jazz or meditative for yoga and relaxing, or rock or swing when you need energy, and just good old upbeat music of any type when you need a lift! It does produce positive changes in your body!
