Sounds Therapy As A Stress Management

Ten minutes of nature sounds therapy is like nature's lullaby, with lasting effects throughout the day. A tempo of 60-72 beats per minute imitates the rhythm of a heart beating, creating a hypnotic state and inducing sleep. Acoustic guitar, harp, flute, piano, etc., combine with the music of nature to block out disturbing sounds, triggering responses from the brain that reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and promote good health.

Music combined with the sounds of rain is a cleansing sound that washes over the listener. The patter of raindrops, the whisper of the wind, and the clash of thunder inspire coziness and security. The sound of ocean waves embracing the shore bathes the body and mind with a mist of tranquility. The chirping of birds, sounds of woodland creatures, rustling of leaves, and the flow of brooks and streams stir feelings of a peaceful walk through the woods.
