Music for Relaxation and to Soothe the Mind, Body and Spirit

When I think of music to relax and to calm, I think of Steven Halpern. Steven Halpern, Ph.D. is one of my personal favorites for music that calms and soothes the spirit.

Relaxing with Music

Music to Calm NICU Babies and Parents

Music in the NICU

Music is one of the many things that NICU Parents can used to help their premature babies and sick newborns. We brought in music and her own CD player for my daughter to listen to when she was in the NICU in 2002. It was something that I had intuitively done to help my daughter in her healing process, believing that the music would calm and comfort her.

Since my daughter was in the NICU in 2002, music has been incorporated as a healing modality and as music therapy for NICU babies. Research has shown that music is a way to positively alter the environment of NICU premature babies and sick newborns.

Some of the desirable effects of music on NICU babies include: aiding in brain and language development, conveying a sense of security (comfort), improving oxygen levels, helping babies to sleep, decreasing pain, increasing weight gain and shortening the duration of hospital stays.

Music for Comfort and During Transitions

Music comforts during times of loss and transition

Listening to comforting music can be a very helpful way of coping with a loss or a loved one, or losses experienced during illness.

One of my favorite comforting musicians is Steven Halpern. Many of his albums provide solace and comfort during times of loss and illness.

Music is also comforting for those dealing with transitions, with the ultimate transition being death.

A more specialized area of Music Therapy, Music Thanatology is the field of using music at the end of life to calm, to comfort and to ease transitions. Steven Halpern's Transitions album, filled with nurturing compositions, is suited for working with those in transition whether at home, in hospice or in the hospital.
