Each Month Toe to Fro will be bringing you a new ‘Self-Care’ Playlist to accompany your wellness rituals.
Music is one of the most powerful forms of escapism and can encourage healing and acceptance. We connect to music on a deep level – even below our level of consciousness.
The study of music and the brain is a growing area of research. Here are just a few of the cool things researchers are discovering about music:
- Music increases our dopamine levels – the “feel good” hormone.
- Music is intimately tied to our emotional memory. Ever have that feeling of being transported back in time when you hear a particular song?
- Music affects our breathing and heart rate. We listen to lullabies to sleep, and upbeat tunes to push us through that last set of squats and burpees.
