Remember a common saying, “It’s music to my ears?” You say it when you want to make a point about some pleasant news or music that you just listened to and you feel good about it.

Great music shines in all its facets: emotional, physical, social, mental, aesthetic and spiritual. Music helps us to improve and maintain our health and deal with our emotions, stress and mood. Music therapy experts say that music can treat aging, communication and psychiatric disorders, and many other medical conditions. It also improves learning abilities, reduces stress, gives relaxation, builds self-esteem, supports exercise, and motivates other health-related activities.

Do you know that music therapy was mentioned in the “Meanings of the Intellect” by Alpharabius (al-Farabi, 872-950), Persian scientist, philosopher, psycologist and musician? Many centuries ago, the ancients already understood an excellent power to expel many diseases and improve health.

Now relax and listen to a beautiful music in the beauty of nature.

Move your body and exercise! Walk or jog. Swim or run. Find a sport or activity that moves you–and move! Dance, dance, dance as often as you have a chance! Dance is a pleasant physical exercise which allows us to express our emotions through movement.

A popular aphorism in Europe is: Those who dance a lot live a lot. When we feel comfortable in our lives and with ourselves, we win the fight with distress, gaining/loosing weight and aging. Remember how often you have been dancing in front of the mirror in a privacy of your home where no one could see you?

It looks like a guy in the video “Evolution of Dance” did the same. Now you can see from a side how he turned boring exercises  into a real fun time. Have fun, too. Dance your weight and age off!

Do you feel any regrets sometimes? Probably you don’t like an action that has been commited by you the past week, or you regret that you did not act when you should. Many people wish that they had done something in a past situation. “Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back,” said once British author, Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923). “Regret is an appaling waste of energy; you can’t build on it; it’s only for wallowing in.”

Make it one of the rules of your life: never regret. If it’s good, it can turn into something wonderful. You never know. If it’s bad, consider it as your experience and learning, and be positive and optimistic. 

“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see which has opened to us.” Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), American inventor and educator, said this wise truth long ago.

Open a new door in your life and forget about any regrets. Go ahead with your life and hope for the best. Now just relax and enjoy a timeless song “Non, Je ne regrette de rien”( I don’t regret about anything) singing by a legendary French singer Edith Piaf. She definitely never had any regrets.

Music has long been used as a healing remedy for centuries. Even in the Bible you can find mention of the healing powers of music. Do you know that ancient Greeks also believed in music as a healer?  Their most popular and gorgeous god, Apollo, was the god of music and healing.

The powerfully emotional effect of music can treat anxiety and depression, soften anger into affection and romance, and also to heal disorders of the mind, body, and spirit.  Now watch this video, listen to relaxing music, and be happy.
