The famous French philosopher Voltaire of the 18th century once said that he often took walks in opera houses to aid digestion. As early as ancient Egypt, Rome, and Greece, background music was mandatory at major banquets. The great physiologist Pavlov used precise and objective holistic experimental methods to uncover the mystery of music's influence on digestion. He found that music that evokes people's happy emotions works in both ways to aid in the secretion of digestive juices and promote the movement of the digestive tract. The impact of music on cardiovascular system activity is significant. A strong, fast, and tumultuous concert stimulates cardiovascular activity, accelerates heart rate, raises blood pressure, and makes one's blood boil; Being in a moderately loud, beautiful, calm, and soothing music environment can make people feel incredibly comfortable. At this time, the cardiovascular system's trial movement is calm and stable, causing the increased blood pressure to decrease and the faster heart rate to slow down. I introduced this method (playing classical music in a suitable tone during sleep) to some people with hypertension and insomnia, and they can solve the problem of insomnia by listening for a few days. And during the day, blood pressure is stable, energy is abundant, and I feel relaxed. At the same time, Teacher Liu, the first violinist of the Forward Song and Dance Troupe, also confirmed to me that his granddaughter (who was a few months old) woke up at the slightest sound when she slept, but after playing the music, she slept deeply and sweetly.
Medical research has shown that music with different speeds, beats, and melodies can be transmitted to the cerebral cortex through the input system, creating new excitation areas that allow the original excitation areas to rest. Listeners can enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable experience with pleasant music. The combination of music, dance, and gymnastics often gives people an involuntary feeling, and without music, well-trained skills are difficult to perform. Once appropriate music appears, people involuntarily move, indicating that music plays an important control role in the motor system. Music controls movement and reminds people that when the rhythm of the inner subject's movement is coordinated and unified with the rhythm of external music, it can bring great comfort. Rhythm coordination has become an important principle in music therapy.
Music still has a psychological impact. It has a stronger, faster, and more direct impact than physiological effects. Mainly manifested in the regulation and intervention of emotions, recent studies have shown that some movements in classical music can stimulate beautiful brainwave A waves, making people feel relaxed and energetic. At the same time, it can evoke a very unique, fascinating, self forgetting, and integrated experience with the music world, whose biochemical basis is the secretion of endorphins in the brain. This substance, like natural morphine in the brain, can enhance immunity, enhance memory, enhance endurance, unleash creativity, promote beauty, youthfulness, health, and longevity, activate the right brain, and activate it.
There are now experiments both domestically and internationally proving that playing some classical music to plants can make them flourish. So, these plants have no brains, no ears, and I don't know what kind of music Beethoven, Haydn, or Mozart these are. They are not listening, let alone appreciating. The function of music is achieved by radiating sound waves and transmitting them to the human body or other organisms in the form of energy. Therefore, after falling asleep, the human body can still receive the gentle massage of sound waves, and because the human body is relatively relaxed during sleep, the effect is better than during the day.
Miracles come from the accumulation of quantity, and today's fruits come from yesterday's causes. The power of music is in a subtle and silent way, not a panacea. It can be revived in the blink of an eye, but only through long-term immersion and influence can it be truly effective. Whoever perseveres the most thoroughly and for the longest time will receive the greatest and deepest benefits.
