I know for me over the yrs. there are times when if I hear a certain song, or in a certain mood, and I listen to Music it seems to calm me and relax me, and make me think about who I am, etc. Some of them bring back memories to make me think about where I've gone from, what I've been thru, and makes me realize how blessed I am, to be where I am at today.
What is some of the type of Music you like that relaxes you the most? For me, I Love Christian Music. I can just be having a rough day due to life itself, and come home and listen to some Christian Music, and it seems to relax and calm me to where I know I can get thru what I am going thru now, and in time, everything will be OK.

responses and comments:
Yes, I do. Often times classical and slow instrumental music soothes my senses. Listening to old songs at night has a bit of nostalgia in it. However, lying under the tree during a temperate day and listening to nature is the best music I have heard so far. [vhayste]
Great response in listening to nature. I know I used to enjoy lying under a tree as well and watching the sky, and listen to the sounds of birds, etc. [KrauseHome]
Yes...Its impornt to listen to music...It cures ur mind...We'll feel good,fresh and healthy after listening to music....So its a great fun.... [priyankps2005]
I totally agree when you said it cures your mind and makes you feel fresh and healthy. Good piints here. [KrauseHome]
Recently I find something really important and that is when you r depressed too much,never listen to the sad and soft music which you can understand,because those words will make you want to cry much more. [qiao522]
This can be true. There are certain songs I know for me that bring back certain memories, and if these are BAD memories for me, or make me feel Sad, then I try and not listen to these songs as much. As for Depression that is True... You need upbeat Music, or music that will encourage you and make you think. For me, Christian music is a Big help. [KrauseHome]
I've always found music to be soothing and relaxing. When I was a single mom rushing in after a busy day, I would take just 15 minutes for myself while I was changing into my jeans to listen to music. It could be a ballad or rock and roll, whatever I was in the mood to hear, and it worked just like magic. As I started to prepare dinner and listen to all the "mom, can I or can we?" requests, I was refreshed and ready to listen. Music always makes me more peaceful and happy. When I craft or sew, I always have music playing too. Seems to give me creative inspiration. [surfette]
Thank you for the best response. I appreciate it. [surfette]
Yes, I do find music relaxing .Sometimes,when we are having tough time and feeling very stressed out;It is music that helps us regain some composure and makes us feel relaxed. [ptrikha1]
How I couldn't agree more. Music has a way of helping a person wind down, feel relaxed, and can even bring a calming to someone when they are needing it the most. [KrauseHome]
I do agree with you. Listening to the oldies make us recalled back to the past and having certain mood that suit us for the day. However, I do enjoy modern song too, again very much depend on my mood. Music is a must and it is one way to relax our mind, body and soul. [goldwin65]
So true... The music that is older can take us back to a Good time in our life, or a bad time, and what we do with it or from it, is up to us. And I agree 100%, Music is a must, and something we could NEVER do without. [KrauseHome]
I often listen to relaxing music. I have a few CDs that are specifically for relaxation or going to sleep...they have guitar sounds, piano and synthesizers, ocean and nature sounds, and one has a voice guiding you through imagery like telling you you're walking on a warm beach etc....it's nice. It de-stresses and relaxes me. [brimia]
Some music does relax me, KrauseHome. When I'm especially stressed, I will listen to various types of what may regarded as classical music. [Transdisc]
Some types of music, at certain volumes and tempos will actually tense me up. It all depends. I do like Christian music, and at least at this time in my life I benefit most by up tempo praise and worship songs, it helps give me some energy and I am often tired right now. I need that boost and it is a lot better than caffeine for me. [GardenGerty]
I always find it amazing how certain songs can bring people back to a certain place, time or event in their lives. Even after years of not hearing a special song, it can still trigger an association to something. I have always loved "Motown" and this is my favorite music. Music can really chance someone's mood and lift your spirit. [howard96h]
I love music. For me music is so many things. It helps with any mood I am in, Sometimes country music teaches me things or lessons. Music is verrry therapeutic. I think whenever is feeling down they need to listen to music, it helps my mood, and helps me sort my thoughts. [sophiasmom911]
Roughly saying i love to hear all kinds of music which sounds good and makes us to feel free... in some ways it can also cure the diseases..its proved scientifically also. so its not the kind u hear its about how the thing u enjoy..it matters a lot. [vanitha3186]
Yes, i find listening to music very relaxing too..actually it depends...sometimes it relaxes me sometimes it just gives me some energy that i need, other times it just keeps me company and carries me through hard times (like now)... As for relaxing music usually i listen to Enya or some very soft ballads by a french canadian artist i love...they really help me and take my mind to places where i can find peace [JoMarch]
yes very much especaly tekno [coolcarsinc]
Yes, I really find music relaxing. I love acoustic songs, they relax me and de-stress me as well. [angel06]
I don't listen much to music, but when I do I think it is relaxing. I love listening to the radio in my car when I am driving. That is about the only time I listen though. I have listened to my radio in my room only twice this month and last month total. I guess because I am so busy on mylot. I sometimes do put internet radio on, but I have not done that in months. Thanks for the reminder. I will do that again. [OreoCookie3]
same here!!.... i agree that music has something to do in our mood and personality!!... if i cant fall to sleep i just listen to music and it relaxes me nad without knowing it..im already into the deep sleep.. ^_^ [no_chao]
It depends on the type of music we listen to. There are some soft, melodious music with very meaningfuly and touchy words, which definitely soothe one's feelngs and I am no exception. There are some racous noisy music which I generally dislike and hence it not only disturbs, it also becomes abnoxious. But then there are people who like such music. So varieties f music are meant to satisfy variety of people. [ssh123]
hi KrauseHome yes i'm also listening to music for relaxing myself after a long day my sister has the same type of music just like you she always listen to religious songs, mostly Hillsongs ^^ i prefer pop songs, japanese and chinese pops but too bad my speakers are dull when you play the itunes too long, then you'll hear an annoying 'duummmmm' sounds.. bah i need to buy new speakers soon LOL thanks anyway.. ^^ [unuzzz]
Music hearing is an art of jhearing.It is not possibloe from every one.Only some are accustomed to this habit.But,who ev er is habituated for this is the real enjoyer.As music is an exercise to the mind.It gives lot of relaxation to the mind and body too.According to science hearing music cures many diseases uncured by medicines. This is practical and you observe whio ever has this taste are very healthy and alert in their activities. Expecially I hear the sad ragas(Indian classical)at night times.It sooths the mind very much.Music is my real friend. [gyaneshwarrao]
oh yeah.. especially at this times that i'm so upset and busy. I need something to sooth me. Well since I don't have partner in life, I have to sooth myself with something else and that's going to be music. :) I just love listening to them. The type of music I listen depends on my mood. most of the time I like listening to alternative and R&B. they're good in my ear. [MGjhaud]
Music relaxes me also. When I am upset about my life music helps to relax my mind. I like all kinds of music. I am not to big on heavy metal or rap music. I like a lot of older music from the 70s and 80s. [Shaun72]
I find music relaxing. It's a nice way to let go and get rid of stress. Usually, I can get over any emotion that I'm strongly feeling just by playing music to fit that mood. I don't have a special genre that I listen to or anything. I just listen to rock/pop/top 40 music. I just turn on my favorite music and let it do it's work. [highflyingxangel]
the flute music in a silence gives more relaxation when u r tired and u want some rest of mind. using this we can also do Dyana which help u to feel your body relx and meditation can be achieved. [theredlion_17]
Music not only relaxes me but can take me away to a far place where i can dream and think. I love music, all kinds and it is a good therapy for you also. Certain songs will either brighten my day or make me sad too. Donna [scags2005]
Listening to music does wonders for my mood. It can be relaxing, but also energizing for me sometimes, depending on the type of music and what's going on around me. I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, and I have music for every mood. If I'm having an absolutely horrible day, I tend to listen to Celtic music, both for religious reasons and because it reminds me of a relative who was one of the first people to be kind to me. [lecanis]
i love listening to pop, r&b and am a sucker for ballads. i love listening to music anytime of the day. and yeah listening to music is really relaxing! gets my mind off things at work so that i won't feel so stressed. haha. in the car, music makes me forget about the traffic jam and crazy drivers on the road. [kevsgirlalways]
Aman to that.I listen to music especially when I am in the mood to do a total house cleaning it seem to make the work go a lot faster as long as I do not get company and there are just days that I will listen to music and not even turn on the t.v [sweetaspie52]
for me there is no better way to relax than having my nice cold bottle of appletizer ( a fruit juice) a good magazine and a sweet song coming from my music box it relaxes my nerves and i feel so happy just beeing there all by myself,music is food for the soul [BYOLA2871]
I am a Bach fan. I love his cantatas and the choral pieces he composed. I also like Vivaldi, I can listen to them all day and I also like Opera as long it is romantic and full of love. I am an incurable romantic and anything that speaks of love I like. I also like the old hymns but not so much on gospel. It depends on what Christian music it is. I like the psalms and some of the old church music. I am more inclined to Reformed and Presbyterian rather than Baptist. [suspenseful]
Listening to music is one of my favorite pastimes, KrausHome. I love practically all kinds of music from Classical to Reggae. Today has been a Blues day for me. In fact I am listening to my music player at this very moment, Koko Taylor singing "Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home." The type of music I listen to all depends upon my moods. [worldwise1]
now i listen to "even heaven cries" which is singed by monroes.it's a old song.but i love it.even that i make a ppt for this nice song.hehe~~~ when i want to relax myself,i play basketball with my friend and then have a cold bath.it feel great.maybe you should try~~ music for relaxation---bandari.i think it's a nice choic for you.an hour of sensual meditation,a truly unique listening experience.i hope you like it! [xialinye]
Sure I do. Some people say listening to music is one of their pastimes. For me, I find some music to be quite relaxing. Not those too noisy type of course - those are more suited for other occasions. [lordwarwizard]
It depends on what kind of music it is. I like some soft music when I am doing some work and while I am doing my housework, I like some energetic or classic music. I don;t like pop music. It's too noisy for me. Sometimes, however, I listen to some different music for a change, including some pop. [wonderful07]
Same like you. I like to hear some spiritual songs. I feel God is with me and he will take care of my problems. Sometimes some melodious movie songs or light music also will go straight to my heart and relaxes my mood. [Buchi_bulla]
Yes i love listening music.It makes you calm and relax.It sometimes makes you forget your worries.I like love songs.It's just touches me when i heard such songs. [giePortlandOR_08]
Yeah,Krause, I am a music lover and I like almost all kind of music. It doesn't matter songs or instrumental music. When I am surfing net or working I enjoy listening music at the same time. Music always makes us relaxed and tranquil. Before going to bed I like to switch on the local broadcast which plays the classical instrumental music all the night. Listening to music could really make me relaxed and calm. Of course I will fall asleep easily as well. When I wake up the music is still with me. [lkbooi]
I find listening to music to be extremely relaxing no matter what I am doing. I don't drive, so I don't have a car radio. I do hae a small CD player and a air of headphones in my purse, that I carry with me when I go out. I like to sit in the cafe during the day with a cup of coffee, a good book, and my CD player. [danishcanadian]
Music just makes me feel good, specially during bad days. Some researchers says that music has a profound effect on our body and psyche. I dont know if youve heard bout the Music Theraphy, they uses music to heal. And before i go to bed, i usually turn my mp3 on first, and just leave it playing music, till i wake up in the morning. Its been part of my sleeping habit i guess, cant sleep without it. [lilpiknik]
Its wonderfully relaxing!! I likea all kinds of music...rock..clsassical...pop.... i like to put headphones on and really turn the sound up!! but hubby thinks its anti social!!# if you are okking to shut the world out its the best thing you can do !!!! [ruby222]
Music is a wonderful outlit for the soul to open and explore.I find peace in mostly writing songs.I love almost every type of music.Of course different moods will make me want to go in other directions.I love jazz though.That has to be the most beautiful sound to my soul. [Breath]
Hello dear krauseHome. It is the same here that listening to music makes me feel relaxed. I love to listen to different kinds of music when I am at a different mood. Music makes me feel calm and good. [williamjisir]
I do like to hear some clasic Instrumental music. or meditating music before i sleep. I feel so relax when i listen to the music.sometimes i imagine myself at a beautiful garden full of flowers , or near the river, and i almost can hear the sound of water. [diansinta]
I listen to a wide variety of music depending on my mood I am in. From Country and Blues, to Folk, Rock n Roll, Pop, Classical, Nature Music and Sounds, Cajun Fiddle Music, Celtic and even occassionally some rap plus gospel and southern gospel and Christian music. To relax I listen to Di Blasio, Yanni, Kitaro, Enya and Nature sounds like soothing waterfalls, Thunderstorms and things like that. I listen to those latter ones all night in my sleep and it helps me to sleep better. [Celanith]
I am not one to listen to music in my house but in the car I need to have it on. I don't know if it is as relaxing as it is 'there's something there' type of feeling. It can change my emotions (both good and bad) and so I can't say how it makes me feel. The only other place I religiously listen to music is when I work out... Great question Zelo [zeloguy]
Yes .............. i find it very relaxing ............. it calms down my mood and makes it cheerful and jolly ............. hence , i love listening to music ........... thats my view ........ tc !!! [kaustubh123_sawant]
I love music and find that it really helps relax me if it is calming. I do notice however that if I am really stressed, silence and peaceful places help me best. I live in the mountains and absolutely love the peace and quiet. [MH4444]
Hi Tina, I too believe in the hidden power of music and songs.Here in India there were and there are musicians who can induce raining and make fire by music. Yes it can be done by 'resonance' , you know I am a professor of Physics. Music can feel you relaxed or irritated. I have some audio collections, they will appear you as sounds of flowing water, air etc, but make you relaxed and you may get fast asleep.Thanks for this great post, cheers. [bhubaneshwars]
Yes, definitely! I have a really eclectic taste in music; I love just about everything! Lately, I've been listening to Ingrid Michaelson when I'm just relaxing, she's awesome! [rosebud11]
Absolutely! (pardon my late response) I've been listening to the same music (Josh Groban) for the last few days, I'm practically breathing it! It's just so relaxing to listen to such a soothing, beautiful voice. And some of the songs are so up-lifting, I can't help but feel good. [goodnightmoon]
