Christmas Music Therapy 

Music is good for you, especially Christmas music. Studies show that listening to music has all kinds of positive effects on your body and mind, and your favourite Christmas music can be beneficial during what is often a busy, stressful time. Here’s how seasonal music makes you feel better: 

• Christmas music can improve your mood your favourite Christmas tune has a pleasant neurological effect in which the brain’s pleasure circuit is stimulated, releasing dopamine and serotonin (which are responsible for those happy feelings 

• Christmas music is good for your memory Studies show music therapy will actually help maintain or rehabilitate cognitive abilities in patients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. 

• Christmas music can decrease stress levels Christmas tunes you love are good for your heart. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels can all be decreased and therefore reduce stress 

• Christmas music can even reduce pain Music therapy has been used to treat people with chronic pain, and in one study, patients who listened to music in recovery after surgery needed less morphine to manage their pain. Focusing on music engages your mind and allows less room for pain pathways in your brain. And because seasonal music can help relieve stress, it also helps relieve muscle tension that leads to pain.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
