Music: Our Connection to the Higher Conscious

Today, more and more seniors are watching their diet and

implementing exercise programs in an effort to remain more

healthful, manage stress, and participate in a lifestyle that is

rewarding and enjoyable. Many are aware of the benefits of diet

and exercise in helping to keep our bodies and minds operating a

peak levels of performance, but what is not known is the role

music can play in helping older citizens (and I believe younger

ones, too) to manage stress, become a part of an enjoyable

learning experience, and acquire a new tool in their efforts to

stay healthy.

What many people don't realize is the role music could play in

their life, throughout the course of their life. Music is our

connection between the everyday spoken word, and the power of

our spirituality. Music operates on sound waves that fall in the

range between vocal sounds, or our voice, and spiritual prayer,

or meditative brain wave lengths. What does all that say? It is

a link, an avenue to connect with our higher conscious on a

moment to moment basis, to relive stress, comfort us, or simply

lift our spirit.

Professors and other leaders of the education environment have

long known the benefits of musical talent. Learning to make

music and play musical instruments increases our mathematical

and scientific analysis abilities. In the course of the learning

process, the musical notations and reading of musical notes,

works within the vastness of our brain to stimulate the

processes associated with working mathematical problems, solving

analytical problems, and excelling in the sciences.

What have we learned from watching our young people, as they

learn to perform and play musical instruments? There is a direct

association with the hopeful mindset of youth, and the pouring

out of musical creation. Both the young mind and the musical

note bring about joy and hope, in an untainted, unlearned

environment. The young mind is oblivious to the constraints of

life that the middle-aged person has learned well, and the

musical note serves as a constant invitation to belief in the

impossible.

What have studies revealed about the power of music? In

studies performed on older citizens, the effect of learning to

play music, and participate in music performances, lowered

stress and anxiety levels, feelings of isolation and loneliness

decreased, and here's the real surprise, participants actually

showed increases in the production of the human growth hormone.

The human growth hormone positively affects aging phenomena such

as energy levels, wrinkling, osteoporosis, sexual function,

muscle mass and general aches and pains.

What important information does this impart to health

practitioners? It brings to the forefront the need for increased

exposure to group activity and social interaction. The benefit

of learning musical instruments and enjoyment of the music they

generate only sees its true potential when applied in a group

setting, where laughter, music and fellowship can take place.

Studies of this nature serve to reinforce the long-held belief

that music is a way to connect with our higher selves, our

peers, and to bring about increased enjoyment of our lives.
