therapeutic music faqs

The short answer is that it helps to soften and release tension in the body and field which in turn supports a more happy, healthy creative life.  The longer version: This tension we hold creates either conscious or unconscious stress in our lives that can lead to a variety of complaints and symptoms. This tension comes primarily from old emotional trauma that has not been brought into present time, or, from current stressors.  It is actually stored in a whole network of tissue called ‘connective tissue’ that links into the structure of the cells and the DNA. By listening to our  music, these tensions are slowly softened, allowing the body’s own healing mechanisms to flourish. Our music’s effect: It supports you, your body to return to a natural state of dynamic balance known as ‘homeostasis’ from whatever state you are in now.

It depends. Some people experience quick relaxation, for others it takes multiple listenings. The old tensions stored in the body took a long time to form so often they will not go away in a day.  Be consistent. Listen a minimum of 1/2 hour per day, 4-5 days a week. Positive results can sneak up on you and one day, you might say to yourself, “Oh, I feel different about “x” now”.

Absolutely. You can walk, draw, do crafts, and gentle exercise. Try to avoid looking at a screen, but if that’s the only time you have, go for it. If you don’t listen, the music won’t help you.

Normally, yes. It’s an individual choice. It’s best though to listen to the music once or twice before you do to make sure it is OK for you. This is because of the psycho-acoustic effects* recorded with most of our titles. When we are in our thinking or ‘upset’ mode and suddenly we start to move into a more relaxed state, this can affect our ability to concentrate momentarily.
*Special recording techniques recorded with the music that promote relaxation. Read the article, “SSRS – What’s recorded with the music?”

You can, but the results aren’t as rapid. A good time to listen though can be in bed just before sleep. If you happen to fall asleep, that’s OK. Start while conscious though. It’s often easiest to let the music take you where it will under these circumstances.

We discovered by accident in the 1980’s that combining different titles together over a number of days gave deeper, quicker relaxation results. We have since fine-tuned them to what they are today. Find them here.

Absolutely, just make sure you don’t change the file type to MP3 which compresses the music causing less therapeutic effect. You will lose benefit and not receive your money’s worth.

It’s a kind of audio file that is the least compressed while still retaining the therapeutic quality. Wav files are full spectrum audio files, but they are quite big. MP3 takes away so much of the sound quality that therapeutic value is lost. We use Flac files because they are not as big as wav files and can be downloaded fairly quickly. Depending on the IOS version, you may need to download a free conversion app such as VLC Media Player for Mac to play our downloaded music on Apple products.

These titles will give you a more gentle start into relaxing tension wherever it is found: FLOATING IN THE SEA, INNER SUN, JUST CELTIC (famous melodies from the British Isles with a gentle sea in the background), JUST PIANO (classical music pieces) REPOSE & VOYAGE TO FREEDOM. We’ve also given you some guidance as far as what music helps to relax the body, mind, emotions or field right above the download section on the Therapeutic Music page. You can use those to  start, or you can just pick one at random and dive right in. There are samples of each title to listen to in the actual download area.

It depends on the country, actually. For example, Magical Garden is the best seller in Spain, while in the UK it’s difficult to sell perhaps because of the water on track 1. Spain is quite dry and the UK is not…. In Germany it’s Radiant Body. The 4 titles people find the ‘most beautiful’, in other words, that fit most people’s musical expectations, are Just Piano, Inner Sun, Repose and Voyage to freedom. Remember though, since our music helps to soften and release tension, you should listen to it with ‘new ears’.
