Music is known to be a universal stress reducer and just as stress it has a significant effect in

our emotions and our bodies. Music has this way of manipulating what we feel and how we

feel. Faster music can make you more energized and alert while upbeat music can make you

see the life in another way. The slow tempo music can help you focus and relax and release

all the stress you have been feeling during the day.

carried away by sound and the melody. Each individual likes his or her own type of music.

One great thing about music is that we all listen to it, we all have our favorite song that

makes us feel safe and calm when we listen to it. But it is not only the conventional type of

music we know there are also recorded sounds from nature such as, rain falling, water

flowing and many other sounds that can help us reduce stress. Music fight stress by

reducing the level of cortisol in our bodies, cortisol is the hormone released by stress. So,

when we listen to music our levels of cortisol reduce, and our brain and body start to

process the melody we are listening and put us in a calm state. [add sound and images]
