Ace musician Raphael Gnn feels that music is nothing less than audio therapy. Music is more
than a universal language—it can be a stellar stressbuster! Here are some fun facts about the
therapeutic power of music and how it can benefit nearly anyone who needs to take a minute
away from a hectic day.
Raphael Gnn switched up his daily routine to be in a positive state of mind immediately
upon waking. Years ago, he replaced an alarm clock that jolted him out of sleep with a
shrill electronic shriek to something much more pleasant. Now, a smart-home device
has replaced the obnoxious alarm clock, and Raphael is woken by the strains of
beautiful classical music. It puts him in a more positive mindset immediately and
sets a great tone (pardon the pun) for the rest of his day. The only drawback is that
the alarm sometimes has an opposite effect as it nearly lulls him back to sleep.
On that note, music can create a greater sense of calm, reduce anxiety, help battle depression,
and improve one’s outlook. It can walk us through almost any circumstance, even the most
difficult moments of our lives. And best of all, it’s free. While there are subscription services
like Spotify out there, many offer free options and one can find a giant selection of music
videos on sites like YouTube. Raphael Gnn firmly believes that everyone should have
music in their lives, and modern technology has made this possible.
Music impacts the mind, soul, and body. It can soothe us, guide us, speak to us, and be an
invaluable inspiration. Above all, it can bring us joy. No matter what genre you prefer, this
mix of enticing lyrics, sounds, and rhythm is a natural part of the human experience.
Because of this, it is an ultimate stressbuster. Whether you take a deep breath while
relaxing to the romantic intoxication of Beethoven or need to blow off steam while
blaring some hard rock, Raphael Gnn firmly believes that music
will always be there for us.
