Music is a big part of life, whether it is music that one listens to at the gym, on their way to work, or in the background of a film, music can change moods, tell a story, and inspire creativity. Music has touched cultures around the world since the actual dawn of time, and yet what was only recently discovered was the manner in which music can affect the body and mind.
Many people find music healing. It is an expression for all humanity, something that people everywhere are touched by no matter where they are from. Music is not only a beautiful diversion, something to appreciate, but it reduces stress, changes mood, accesses different states of mind, develops the brain, and raises states of consciousness, all of which can be useful in regular meditation.
Classical music has been shown to improve visual attention. Listening to classical music on special occasions such as this will actually improve visual attention, leading to heightened awareness of the environment and those things in front of the listener. Music actually stimulates visual and verbal skills. Those who listen to music are shown to smile more frequently and show greater signs of sophisticated brain responses. Listening to music actually functions as exercise for the brain, no matter the occasion. It improves memory and mental sharpness, both of which can be used to access memories associated with certain melodies or musical harmonies relevant to such a special occasion.
Listening to a special Valentine’s Day music set enables people to draw on old memories based on the neurological patterns of rhythm and sound that remain within the brain core for an extended period of time. Moderate noise levels for music listening will increase processing difficulty, which actually promotes abstract processing and in turn leads to increased creativity. The music which people enjoy listening to on Valentine’s Day can actually tell quite a bit about their personality. For example, those who are fans of classical music are typically introverts with high self esteem and creativity. Those who are fans of opera are often gentle and creative, with high self esteem. Those who enjoy jazz music are outgoing, creative, and have high self esteem.
