How Music Helps You Connect to Others and Yourself

By Andrew Carrie Landwater


Music can be very therapeutic for many kinds of people. Whether you are young or old, rich or poor, happy or sad; music can help you feel better and relate to the world around you. Here we will talk about how therapeutic music can be for different people. We will also talk about why it is a good idea to bring a portable music device with you such as an iPad 2.

If you feel angry, it can be very uncomfortable. Anger can come from many different sources. Sometimes the person serving your coffee acts rude and it makes you angry. Other times, your partner was unkind in the morning and it made you start the day in a bad mood. Either way, anger is not a fun emotion to have. Music can help with it in many ways! When you listen to music, your brain waves change. If you are feeling angry and listen to some songs that you know will cheer you up, this can be a great use. That is why it is a good idea to have music with you as you go to work.

Science has shown that our brains act differently around music than in silence. It can be a wonderful thing to change your brain waves while you are sad or upset and alone. Portable music devices can help you to do this very easily because they are small and can fit right in your pocket or back pack. If you put a variety of music onto them, you will have many options to choose from when you want to listen to something and change your brain waves.

A further benefit of music is that it can make your brain work in a different way. If you listen to classical music when you are studying, it is known to help you retain the information in a more effective way. The same can be true for many situations. If you are feeling unfocused or confused, you can put on a song and relax as your brain waves are soothed by the music. This can be a wonderful tool for working with your own emotions.

As you can see, there are many benefits to having a portable music device. If you can find a free iPad 2, you can use it to bring music with you wherever you go. This allows you to combat the negative emotions any time of day because you have your music with you at all times.
