Using music for healing a behavioral condition, mental stress, or a physical issue is not a new practice. Music dating back to its beginnings as an expressive medium has always found an audience that is uplifted in its presence, even for those who are not afflicted with any condition.
Today’s busy world may actually be the reason why so many people have few spare moments to themselves. Yet when one travels across the urban and suburban landscapes there will always be someone, young and old alike, wearing headphones or ear buds attached to a portable music player, perhaps spotted at a bus stop or a cafe.
What is observed is a brave new habit of stealing moments of attention away from their surroundings and getting a musical moment of rhythm, solitude, mental calm, or something else. Something that their immediate surroundings are not providing. Something that their ancestors would not normally do, do to lack of technology of a different time.
It could also be a little disturbing to see so many people wearing headphones “tuning out” their surroundings. As we look at them further, it may be that they’re tuning in, instead.
Music for Meditation
While meditation music is growing in popularity, a concurrent trend in personal music listening in a digital format is meeting a new type of demand. A listener is now after personal goals that draw inspiration from the various genres of music. This would explain why music collections and play lists are so diverse. Also, the music listener is increasingly connecting to the abstraction of music from a personal experience rather than in a group.
In this way, portable music gives the listener more freedom to interpret what they’re listening to while on the go. Portable music players also offer options in how the listener can organize the music they use to improve their day, stay upbeat and overcome perceived obstacles.
Since iTunes and other music portals are now enabling anyone to have reproduced/ recorded music be so central to their lives, listeners can now use this music not only for immersion, escape and solitude, but as a tool for insight and greater concentration. Just look at some of these music statistics.
Alongside their favorites tunes, what if the portable mp3 player-owner reserves some space for meditation frequencies to elevate more synchronized brain wave activity? Would that be acceptable for any daily activity?
Absolutely.
After sharing those observations, here is an artist we wish to highlight. A musician who has composed a number of Metamusic (Hemi-Sync with relaxing music) titles, J.S. Epperson, has titles that can compliment one’s varied playlist “identity” quite nicely.
It is important to note that in these masterful compositions, Hemi-Sync is the clinically developed audio process that helps to facilitate a coherent brainwave signature for the listener, while the music part is more audible and skillfully progresses musical forms for the listener into long lasting and soothing mental visualizations. These are the building blocks of healing music and peak performance music.
