Music - The Stress Buster

That soothing sound into the ears, which releases all the pressure & makes the body sway in it's rhythm - that's nothing else but Music.
Sangeet - is the hindi word for the same.. which seems to be more than appropriate for the fabulous art.. which rules lives of millions across the world.
No wonder that music has a long history to back its importance & significance.

Stress, strain & problems - everybody has its own share in them. May it be a school-going child or college teenager or working adults or distressed housewives or alienated elderly... no-one is isolated from the daily issues & problems of life. Its much appropriate to say.. that the person without any stress is hard to find in this materialistic world.

As one always needs a pain-relieving balm for all physical problems, one also needs something for relieving the accumulated stress. Some people tend to turn towards drinking.. which does nothing but to slow down your mental processing.. which in turn then is not able to process any stress.. and hence drinking acts as an stress reliever. But one also needs to be aware of the repercussions of excessive drinking.

Music can & does act as an excellent stress buster & reliever. It has been proved in many researches that music acts as an pain-relieving balm for the mind. No wonder music has been acting as an primary source of entertainment for centuries now. It is also known that rather than listening to music, playing any small instrument.. acts as a even better stress-killer.

There are different forms of music which people follow & like.. youngsters like foot-tapping & ground-shaking music, while most of working class like music with much of melody & rhythm. All of it boils to relieving oneself from worldly issues. One forgets all problems & stress.. while listening to one's favourite music. No wonder i-pods have managed to cuddle the music loving fraternity with enormous success.

Imagine if the world goes silent for sometime.. no honking vehicles, no noise pollution, no construction activity, no sound at all from any man made source.. then what we will be able to hear would be smooth.. sounds of nature.. chirping birds, free-flowing wind clashing with every other obstruction in front of it, waves of the sea fighting for space with the onshore rocks... in short we will hear nature.. expressing itself. Imagine the relief & refreshing which one is able to experience in nature's music.

Would request all of people reading this blog, to turn to music for stress relief rather than pursuing other methods. Music will help you get out of your problems & stress-burdened life & sooth your senses..

People do drop in with your comments & stress-relieving ideas you follow in your personal life.. seriously give it a thought.. what is it in your daily routine. that u pursue to relieve stress ???
