Music has a powerful influence on our emotions, innumerable scientific researches and clinical studies have proved that it activates chemical substances of the Central Nervous System that stimulate the production of neurotransmitters such as dopamine, endorphins or oxytocin, which favours the strengthening of the healthy states of the human being, such as: joy, enthusiasm, hope, optimism, gratitude, etc.
Music can connect us with the soul, with the spirit, with the universe, with life, it is medicine, music can act positively in all cases of life, both in the body and in the mind of the human being, not all people respond in the same way to the same music, everyone feels music from his personal universe, and the important thing here is that we can all benefit from the unlimited range of music.
The imagination has no limit and as the world advances we will be experimenting with many things, as curious beings that we are by nature, and music does not escape from it, there is a great variety of rhythms and an endless number of possible combinations, this is compared with the numerical universe, it is fascinating.
Music's influence on many aspects of life
Listening to pleasant melodies not only modifies our mood but can have a very positive influence on human cognitive development, on the stimulation of our intelligence and even on our health. The benefits of music are multiple, among them I can mention the following:
♥ Words are not the only means a mother has to communicate with her future baby. Music also allows the child to capture his or her mother's state of mind and become infected with her well-being. Listening to music during pregnancy has numerous benefits for both mother and baby: it stimulates the heart rate in the fetus and the production of endorphins in the mother. Through the ear, music acts on the entire human being, triggering vibratory resonances that activate millions of brain cells, favoring the development of the brain; it is recommended to listen to soft instrumental music such as Mozart that stimulates the intelligence of the baby.
♥ Music facilitates the learning process because it activates an enormous number of neurons, it is recommended to listen to instrumental music in which you feel a state of peace and calm, however what you listen to will depend on your tastes and experiences.
♥ Music facilitates and encourages creativity and imagination, what you do will depend largely on what you listen to.
♥ It can help heal emotional wounds and contribute to the recovery of some disorders and illnesses, listening to the right music can get good results.
♥ It can be considered a fun and relaxing way to pass the time.
♥ It can cause great benefits to the brain and the body in general.
♥ It regulates stress related hormones, improving the person's mood.
♥ Good music strengthens the immune system and translates into better health. The key is to find the rhythm that can favor us in each specific situation, so that we can take full advantage of it.
The dark side of music
You can not hide the other side of the coin, in many cases the music can be dangerous to your body and mind, you should not fall for naivety, not all music is benign, the human being shapes its essence (unfortunately not always good) using different combinations with the musical notes and if it is also accompanied by a harmful lyric can be fatal to some people, those sensitive people, those with emotional deficiencies, those people immersed in the sea of their anguish, that are encouraged through this music to tempt against his life, reaching in many cases to death. There are melodies that influence the psychological state of the person increasing their state of anxiety, depression, etc, also presents the case of how the combination of sounds with the molecules of our body can result in an explosion and destruction at a molecular level of the body in question, similar to the effect of sound on the glass.
We are the product of what we see and hear, not only food is food for man, but also the words we hear and the images we see, therefore music is food for our body and mind, but not always what we consume is healthy, it is extremely important to consider it as a powerful weapon for good or evil.
Some artists sing the meaning of music
Eroz ramazotti is an Italian singer-songwriter of the pop/rock genres. I am fascinated by the definition of music in this successful artist's song, Música es (Music is), every time I listen to this music I feel a lot of peace, below I share some fragments of the lyrics translated into English:
Music is
look far away, inside yourself,
light is a reflection, at the bottom of the abyss
is the immensity of the blue sky,
is, perhaps, my thought, my concern
Music is
the regular dance of your chest breathing next to me
the feast of your eyes whenever you look at me,
you, and your joy when you laugh.
Music is,
the help you are missing
when I feel alone
is a friend who accompanies me
Because a world without music
can never be imagined,
because in every being, in every heart
there is a heartbeat of life and love,
what music is.
Andrea Bocelli Italian singer-songwriter together with the Spanish Marta Sánchez sing the beautiful song "Vivo por ella" (I live for her), where they express the meaning of music in their lives.
It is the muse that invites me
To touch it softly
In my piano sometimes sad
Death does not exist
If she is here.
I live for her who gives me
All the affection that comes
Sometimes it really hits
But it's a fist that doesn't hurt.
I live for her who gives me
Strength, courage and reality
To feel a little alive.
One usually supports himself or has a favorite song for certain situations of life, in my case to write I need to elevate my spiritual part and I achieve it with the divine melody entitled "Nuvole Bianche" by Ludovico Einaudi, Italian composer and pianist, which I share with you in the version I like the most.
Love becomes music during the Pandemic
During this time many slogans and melodies have been achieved that comfort the soul of the population, many people have joined through social networks like Instagram and YouTube to provide hope through their music, this is really special, regardless of language, just feel the energy that surrounds this beautiful collective movement in favor of keeping alive the hope for a better future, in favor of providing love and comfort for those who need it, in favor of calming the uncertainty that surrounds us, in favor of joining as one force in this situation that affects us all.
From small concerts in terraces that have made recognized artists and not known by social media, music that have hung on the network, to musicals that have organized in the distance (using technology for its execution), these facts have created memorable moments that will never be forgotten, are facts, are realities that music has allowed, music vibrates without limitation, crosses borders, defeats language and crushes despair.
This time is ideal to learn, to dedicate it to the family, to grow, and unquestionably the music can make of you a better person, next I share a melody that my small son Samuel composed, he is learning to play "El Cuatro" a typical instrument of Venezuela, Samuel one day inspired composed the brief melody titled "A very mysterious night", I confess that this makes me feel proud, not only because he is learning something new but by the letter that he wrote, which I share next:
A very mysterious night
some think it is endless
However, I believe that it is.
I see a light in the darkness
that grows, if you take care of yourself
together we can succeed
defeating adversity.
Tomorrow belongs to us
this very mysterious night
I will make the light of my soul shine
just staying home.
