"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." -Bob Marley
Nice one, Bob. But sometimes music punches you, like a heavyweight fighter, right in the heartstrings. Sometimes it soothes the soul, amps you up or mellows you out. It may not cause physical pain (unless someone hits you with a $16 million dollar violin right in the baby maker), but it definitely does some interesting stuff to the noggin once it hits that auditory canal. 
In this episode, we discuss the science behind the various ways music affects the brain, reduces anxiety, improves mood, allows for better sleep, reduces shortness of breath (in singing), helps build confidence and self esteem, improves posture, increases breath capacity, boosts immune response and it's kind of a great time. We laugh at our "singing high" and how it is so similar, yet so different, than the widely accepted and often bragged about runner's high. Those diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Dementia, Long Covid, and autism patients can reap so many benefits and in some cultures, music is actually embraced and used as a therapy that is recognized by doctors. Wouldn't it be nice if our insurance companies in the US felt that some alternative medicine practices would be beneficial and covered as a viable medical therapy? We speak of how music brought us together as friends, like some real We Are the World shit that could only be understood if you partake in singing on the karaoke app that shall (maybe forever) remain nameless. 
And finally, how to some people, music is like a religion. Like us. So get your ass to music church and boogie down. Learn some fun Creative Copes to battle the daily stressors, the deeper invisible illnesses or to just have fun. Enjoy the episode. Love and Light ♥
