Improving Health With Music

I would like to share a very interesting article which I read this morning from Natural News. The article was on the topic of Improving One's Overall Health with Music. The first recorded experiments with music were conducted by Dorothy Retallack on plants at Colorado Women's College from 1968-1973. Since then, numerous studies have been conducted producing similar results. Then, doctor's Katherine Creath and Gary Schwartz published a study in which they aimed to determine that even seedlings are affected by the vibrational energy of music and psychic healing energies.  The results mimicked that of earlier studies; plants which were exposed to both Western and Eastern variations of Classical Music grew better than those which were not exposed. Furthermore, plants exposed to harsh or heavy music did not grow as well. The researchers even documented that the plants being studied would actually lean toward the classical music just as they would lean toward the sun.

Plants have not been the only subjects of such studies though. In 1991, a book entitled a Pourquoi Mozart revealed 30 years of positive results that came from exposing Learning Disabled Children to the music of Mozart.  While experts are still debating how much of a difference music makes, the majority agrees that music is more beneficial to toddlers than television is. England and the US have both recorded a 30% decrease in normally high crime areas after piping calm music into public places.

This isn't too far fetched when we recognize that we are all vibrational beings composed of millions of vibrating atoms resulting in a metaphysical aura, more frequently referred to as our "Personal Space" which radiates from us in 360 degrees for as long as we live.  By understanding this it is easy to conjure up that sound waves have the ability to interact with these vibrational waves of energy by both harmonious and dissonant wave interactions.

Have you ever heard of the expression of, "Being on the same wavelength?"As it turns out, there may be a real basis for that and sound waves produced by music are just one of the very real things that can affect this. Furthermore, it is well recognized that enjoying Classical Music can be like training wheels for meditation. Great composers like Bach produce such intricate compositions that listening carefully to the subtle changes and isolated instrumentation can serve as a great step to letting go of the Mental Chatter that can frequently occupy our days while allowing us to experience higher consciousness.

Think of Beethoven, a deaf composer. He wrote his entire late catalog with a diminishing sense of hearing, working purely on his knowledge of  music and resulting vibrations of his compositions. Some of the most well regarded music in recorded history has been composed purely by vibration and has produced an endless array of emotions for centuries!
