Listen to soothing music.
Find the muse whose music best conducts your endocrine ensemble of stress-relieving hormones. What ever kind of music soothes your savage beast – classical, Celtic, Celine – let it shift your brain into its parasympathetic symphony. (The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) promotes the relaxation response.)Toning, chanting, and other self-generated sounds have transforming effects on the mind and emotions. Augment sounds with mental images of stress being washed or blown away. Let your mind use all its resources to protect itself from stress hormones.
"The most powerful aspect of music is rhythm," says music therapy professor Ron Borczon. "Rhythm will help you get more excited when sped up; when slowed down, it helps the body calm down."
