Music and Happiness

The other evening while out for a drive with a friend who happens to be a music director, I noticed a guitar in the backseat of the car.  I looked at it in wonder and asked my very gifted friend to stop over and play something for me.  As we parked the car by the seaside I got a feeling that this would be an interesting night.  He began to sing and strum along effortlessly.  Blown away by his music I lost track of time.  Once we were done I felt soothed, relaxed, refreshed and happy.  Music, it is said, is the highest form of intelligence.  It can make you happy, it can change your mood and it can also heal. Such is the magic of music.  This is one of the finest joys offered to us and it is freely available. 

Today music is being used as therapy to cure people all across the world.  Even plants respond to music.  People with health issues get better much faster if they listen to soothing music and stay happy.  Whether we hum, sing or just listen to it, it is wonderful for the ears, for the body and mind.  So if you are feeling tensed and need some TLC tune into music or start humming a song.  You will instantly feel better.  Try and sing something which makes you happy.  If uplifting yourself is the goal you will need upbeat and happy tunes. Music will heal your mind and soothe your soul; it will help you get through a bad day and heighten your spirits.  Most importantly it will elevate your happiness.  Sing along even if you don't sound good and smile while you do it.  

Those that get to enjoy and appreciate music are blessed and those that know how to create it are even more blessed.  I am glad to have had an evening filled with such joy and an exclusive concert by the seaside.
