Relaxing with Music

Relaxing music is an effective way to calm your nervous system and create a soothing environment. Music for relaxation can be used on its own or in conjunction with other relaxation techniques, such as yoga or meditation.

“The right music can stimulate reward, reduce stress, and improve mood, putting your brain in a position to better achieve many wellness outcomes, such as quieting anxiety."

Daniel Bowling, PhD
Instructor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford School of Medicine | Feed.fm Wellness Music Advisor

The Science of Music for Relaxation

  • A research review by acclaimed neuroscientist Daniel Levitin documented music’s effects on brain chemistry and the associated mental and physical health benefits in mood management and stress reduction. "People who received the music had lower anxiety levels than people who had the drugs and without side effects.”

  • Dr. James A Lovell of the Chicago Medical School conducted a research review and found that music therapy has produced beneficial effects in reducing blood pressure and heart rate in a variety of clinical settings.

Selecting the best music for relaxation

Relaxation music spans a wide continuum, and people will want to use it in a variety of environments and situations. 

Music for relaxation is all about the groove, a slow and steady engine to take you to a calmer place, and the qualities of the music should reflect the desired activity level: more stimulating music is suitable for a more active state, and less stimulation is appropriate for deeper levels of relaxation.
