2 Astonishing Transformations

Here are two short feel-good stories about the magical powers of spine-chilling music.

An elderly woman in a nursing home, who hasn’t spoken a word in months, is sitting motionless in her wheelchair. She is listing heavily to one side. Her eyes are closed, as they always are these days. On a piano nearby, someone starts playing the old hymn "I Come To The Garden Alone".

Suddenly, the woman stirs in her chair and begins humming along. Her eyes open. Only minutes later, she is starts talking lucidly with astonished relatives.

Now, you may think that what I’ve just told you is a rare fluke. Nope. It’s happening all over the planet.

My husband Clayton doesn’t like the dizzy, drugged feeling he gets from painkillers. Not that we have them at home, but on the occasion that he needs some dental work, he does it all ‘au naturel.’ I’ve heard of other people doing this, and it blows my mind.

Next time, I’m sending him to the dentist with an iPod playing music that sends chills down his spine. Following in the footsteps of this next person’s incredible experience.

This man, a dental patient, was unable to take standard painkillers like Novocain. Instead, he puts on stereo headphones and listens, rapt, to his favorite Broadway show tunes. He’s barely aware that his dentist is drilling and scraping away, fitting him with a complicated porcelain crown.

Now, that’s incredible.

EVERY emotion, every behavior, and every thought creates a change in a molecule.

That’s why music that gives you chills can override pain. The emotional bliss can be so strong that it obliterates feeling in your nerves.

Let’s say you go watch a movie this weekend. Observe how your body and mind respond to violent or heart wrenching music. It exhausts and drains your living cells instantly. It overwhelms you with unhealthy stimuli. You go home, not invigorated and calm, but listless and rattled.

Contrast that with a dose of ‘this gives me the chills’ music.

Music that supports your mental and emotional state - what I call immune-boosting sound. Sounds that literally heal. Music that makes your molecules respond in ways scientists have yet to understand.

Why not get yourself uplifted. Restored. Relaxed.

There’s no better time than now.

P.S. The euphoria you feel when eating certain foods or having sex is the same euphoria that is turned on by music. Imagine stimulating that blissful feeling by pushing the play button. Easy, yes. Effective, you bet!
