How does music influence the body to relieve stress?

Danielle T

Listening to music has a very relaxing effect on our bodies especially if it is classical music. Classical music slows our heart beat, lowers blood pressure and decreases levels of stress hormones. Music calms us and can distract us from the stress. It's a way to escape from anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed. It doesn't have to be classical music to reduce stress any music that is pleasing to you will work. Even when you are sad and listen to sad music it doesn't make you even more upset it releases positives emotions.
