The Powerful Effects Of Restorative Relaxation Music
Can you benefit from some sweet relaxation in your life? Have you ever thought about listening to music as a way to reduce your stress? Julie “Brain Lady” Anderson shares that we have control and power over our emotional base and stress levels that our brain goes through. How? Through our thought process we can manage our stress as well as create brain friendly environments that can actually reduce our stress. We can do this through colors, smells, sounds, all kinds of ways! Today we will focus on reducing our stress through the sound aspect. Carl Bartlett, Jr., an Award-winning Saxophonist and Composer from Queens, New York, Music Educator, and Founder of Serene New You Sax LLC, will share how relaxation music can be restorative and why his music is so unique.
Carl’s 20 plus years of music knowledge helped him learn how music affects human emotions and how sound affects the amygdala. He created Serene New You Sax LLC in 2020 to help manage his own stress and anxiety, as well as help others deal with theirs to get their lives back in a safe, creative, and effective way. With his music knowledge, he figured out how to compose music to affect people’s emotions by how he phrases melody, what type of melody to play, and how voice chords and harmonies effectuate that deep relaxation response in people.
What is the science behind Carl’s music? In particular, the amygdala plays a massive role in a person’s stress and anxiety, their fear response to stimuli. The science is there that the amygdala is the key essential place in our brain that needs to be down regulated. In the case of Serene New You LLC, he studied how sound affects the amygdala in a positive way. He discovered that certain tones of the sax effectuate that relaxation response in people and down regulates the amygdala. With practice, he focused on making those tones as least rough as possible while giving it a warm, nurturing sound. In the case of studying the brain, Carl figured out that to make people relaxed through music, you want to get as far away from fear as possible and get on the opposite side which is safety. He managed to find out how to make his music beautiful, while simultaneously giving people a feeling of safety.
