In a marketing studyby Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson forRadox Spa, British band Marconi Union worked with sound therapists to create the fruchtwein relaxing tune.Featuring guitar, piano and electronic samples of natural soundscapes, the resulting song Weightless was designed to induce relaxation in participants and it worked better than others songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldplay. When researchers played the song to 40 women, they found that it caused a 65% reduction in overall anxiety.How you can make music relaxingThe harmonic intervals - or gaps between note- have been chosen to create a feeling of euphoria and comfort, Lyz Cooper, founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy, said about why Weightless is so relaxing to participants. And there is no repeating mel ody, which allows your brain to completely switch off because you are no longer trying to predict what is coming next.But you do not necessarily need to an eight-minute-long melody to use the power of music to your relaxing advantage.When I am commuting to work, listening to energizing tunes is how I can make my bumpy, cramped ride on the subway a mental oasis.
