There is a common belief that one of the key

 of
music
 is to make it easier for listeners to relieve the
stress
 level. In my opinion, I highly agree with
this
 statement because even in my personal life I use
music
 as a tool to reduce
stress
 and as a meditation. Listening to
music
 can have a profound effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet classical
music
.
This
 type of
music
 can have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions, slowing the pulse and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the levels of

 hormones.
Music
, in short, can act as a powerful
stress
 management tool in our lives.

feel relaxed and calm for even better results.
Music
 connects not only with the automatic nervous system
such
 as brain function, blood pressure and heartbeat, but
also
 the limbic system
such
 as feelings and emotions.When slow
music
 is played, the body immediately reacts – the heart blow slows down and blood pressure drops.
This
 causes the breath to slow, which helps release tension in the neck, shoulders, stomach and back. Listening to slow or calming
music
 on a regular basis can help our bodies relax, which over time, means less pain and faster recovery time. In conclusion, it is widely known that
music
 has a powerful effect on our mental and physical health, but rarely people understand that listening to
music
 is able to change people’s
