Music therapy in emotion management should select music according to mood.
Music therapy refers to the use of music to relieve psychological pain and discomfort. It can change our emotional state through the auditory experience and participation in music. To use music therapy to relieve anxiety, try listening to soothing, soft music. The music can be classical, light music or natural sounds.
In addition, we can also choose some music that makes us feel happy and relaxed, such as our favorite pop songs or the music of our childhood. This music helps to relax us and reduce the stress of anxious feelings.
Participation in music is also an effective form of music therapy. Participating in music by singing, playing an instrument, or dancing helps to make us feel happy and relaxed. This method allows us to forget our own stress and worries and focus on the expression and feelings of music.
The main methods used in music therapy:
1. Transcendental meditation. The meditation method of listening to ancient Gandava music was created by Indian musician Maharishi. Gandava music is believed to contain the basic vibrations of the pulses emitted by nature at every moment, and is therefore music in harmony with nature. The core of this listening method is to sit quietly and listen to Gandava music to produce a transcendent experience, in order to achieve "the unity of heaven and man."
2. Listening and discussion method. This is one of the most commonly used methods in the United States. Each person chooses songs or pieces of music that are particularly meaningful in various stages of his or her life, and listens to the music while recalling the scene at that time. Memories often arouse strong emotional reactions in people and promote changes in people's psychology.
3. Musical imagination. Imagination begins under the background of specially prepared music, and visual images appear in the imagination. These images have symbolic meaning and are often related to contradictions in people's subconscious minds.
4. Music meditation. Listening to classical music to achieve deep mental relaxation is a popular method in Japan.
