00:05 We all know that music has a profound effect upon our
00:08 emotions and mood. 00:10 Many researchers and therapists agree, it can also alter 00:13 personality as well. 00:14 Knowing this, we need to find ways to help ourselves 00:18 and others when depression and mental illness take hold. 00:21 Music therapy is proven to be highly beneficial for depression, 00:25 massage is as well. 00:27 EEG's show that right frontal asymmetry is related to 00:32 depression. This asymmetry is significantly improved 00:36 following music therapy. 00:37 Music therapists appear to be using a huge variety of music, 00:41 most seems to include lyrics, many genres of music are used. 00:45 For those of us needing mood music to get through tough days 00:49 or situations, I would encourage listening to a variety of music 00:54 and determine which ones affect your mood and improve 00:56 organized thought. 00:58 Additionally, don't be afraid to hum and sing your way back 01:01 to a healthy frame of mind. 01:03 Making music can be a most powerful source of release 01:07 and reward, both emotionally and physically. 01:09 In situations of clinical depression and mental illness, 01:13 please seek out professional help from therapists, 01:16 including musical therapists who can help you discover 01:19 a musical path that brings your mind and body back into balance. 01:23 God created each of us with a musical mind, 01:26 let's allow His glory and power to work through music 01:30 to recreate the original joy He planned for each of us. |
