Over the years, many people have asked me how healing and relaxing music is relevant to Valentine's Day. In other words, can this genre of music really have a positive effect on the heart and other vital organs?
The answer may surprise you.
One of the fundamental characteristics of evoking one's relaxation was popularized by Dr. Herbert Benson in his landmark book, "The Relaxation Response." He detailed physiological research that documented that an immediate benefit of achieving a relaxed state was enhancing blood flow throughout the body.
The first beneficiaries are the heart and brain. But think about it.
Biofeedback studies proved that individuals can use relaxation techniques to warm up cold extremities, like fingers and toes.
I know what you're thinking. And you're right.
My next post will offer more specifics.
Until next time, Stay Tuned!
Harmoniously Yours ™
