These are extraordinary
times. Sometimes you just wish you could escape from it
all. Well, you CAN'T! But you don't have to think about
it EVERY MINUTE! Take a break from worry, close that browser, shut down
your computer, put your Blueberry in a drawer, try a little "Music
Therapy". Music
Therapy is "the use of music and music related activities to
modify ineffective learning patterns, to promote emotional, mental, social
and physical growth and to develop non-musical goals." (musictherapy.com)
It's
actually an established healthcare profession, REALLY! "Music
therapy interventions" can promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate
pain, enhance memory- wow, it's practically like a patent medicine, too
good to be true! And you don't need a prescription- get up, turn on your
radio or your stereo, take a break, you'll be glad you
did. OK, it won't
change the world, but you'll feel better, and when you come back online,
extend the positive benefits with a visit to efolkMusic. Our filtered
roster of exceptional musicians and their music is like a breath of fresh
air- good AND good for you. |
