Reduce Anxiety with THIS Song
Neuroscientists out of the UK have identified not just the type of music best for reducing anxiety and stress, but also specific songs.
Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson and his team hooked the participants up to sensors that measured brain activity as well as physiological states such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, etc.

Then they gave them a series of difficult puzzles to solve as quickly as possible with different songs playing in the background. The difficulty of the puzzles created a certain amount of stress, and different music was played to determine how it would impact that stress. They found that one song in particular produced a greater state of relaxation than any other music tested to date.

Marconi Union
Just Music
Marconi Union are an English ambient music band formed in Manchester in 2003 by Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley. In 2011 keyboardist Duncan Meadows became a full time member.
Weightless Part 4
👇 🎼 👇
"Weightless"
On 16 October 2011, Marconi Union released "Weightless", an 8-minute track in collaboration with Lyz Cooper, of the British Academy of Sound Therapy, and Radox Spa. The song features guitar, piano and manipulated field recordings. It is punctuated throughout by low tones that supposedly induce a trance-like state.
It was reported in a study conducted at the Sussex Innovation Centre in Brighton that listening to the track reduced anxiety of the patients by up to 65%, being 11% better at inducing relaxation than other relaxing music. In November 2011, Marconi Union were featured in Time magazine's list of Inventors of the Year for recording "Weightless", describing it as "the world's most relaxing song". In January 2017 it charted in the Billboard charts. Despite the success of Weightless, the band has shied away from playing it live, seeing it as a separate project, and has concentrated on playing new material and selections from their critically acclaimed back catalogue.

Transcript 📑 Melissa Hughes
Last week we talked about the connection between serotonin and cortisol the feel-good hormone and the stress hormone on opposite ends of the neurological seesaw.
I can always tell when a topic hits home based upon the number of messages that I get from all of you and this will really resonate with people. I think it's because none of us are immune to stress - we all experience it. Stress and cortisol can actually kill you and it starts with your brain cells an overproduction of cortisol will shrink the brain cell it'll weaken the cell wall until it eventually dies.
But it also impacts the body in a lot of other ways.
90% of doctor's visits for stress-related illnesses. When your brain senses danger or stress it signals the hypothalamus and pituitary gland or the adrenal glands to start producing hormones.
Problem is when you can't shut that production down it makes you more vulnerable to everything from headaches and colds and commune diseases to impaired cognitive function.

Those of you have been following me for a while know that I love music. Not just that I love to listen to music but I love to understand what music does to the brain.
So last week when someone asked me so what music is best for relaxation and stress relief, I knew the answer was out there and I knew I had to find it.

Neuroscientists out of the UK did not disappoint.
They have identified not just the type of music that's best for reducing anxiety and stress but the song that's best for that.

In this study Dr. David Lewis Hodgson and his team hooked participants up to sensors that measured brain activity as well as physiological states such as heart rate of blood pressure and breathing and then they gave them a series of puzzles to solve within a certain amount of time. They had background music playing as they solve the puzzles. The difficulty of the puzzles and the time constraints that they gave them created a certain amount of stress and then the music was played to determine how it would impact that stress.
They found that one song in particular produced a greater state of relaxation than any other music testing today.

And it created a 65% decrease in overall anxiety a 35% decrease in physiological resting rates.

So what is it about Weightless that makes the stress just melt away?
♪♫
Marconi Union actually created that song in collaboration with sound therapists.
So it's not a coincidence that your heart rate will go down your blood pressure will drop and your cortisol levels will decrease when you listen to it.
It was actually designed to do that.
In this fast-paced stressful world it can be really tough to keep your cortisol levels in check.
As it turns out right music or the right song might be a really easy way to do that.

I found this song because I read an article about a medical study that showed it offered relief better than anti anxiety medications! I can attest anecdotally that is true! I’m grateful to the maker of this music for bringing relief to so many, including myself!😊

This piece is absolutely amazing, one of only three I've found over the years - mood neutral - not happy, not sad - its more like the song of being inquisitive and deliberate. It was in a 8 hour block of calm music I had recorded so I've been listening to it for several years but never knew who created it- today I heard it on calm radio and was able to get the creator. Bravo!!!! brilliant! If you like this song try this song Altus - Sleep Theory Volume 1, session 1 -they never get old

I just discovered this song. I was in the middle of a bad anxiety attack that was quickly beginning to push it's way through to panic. I opened a google tab and searched for scientifically proven music to help relieve anxiety. This song was the first to pop up in the results. Now I don't know if it's truly working on a scientific level or if it's that I can sometimes be susceptible to suggestion but I can already breathe better and I can feel my heart rate slowing. Thank you for this. I can see the other replies are from years ago. I'll tell you, this music will be timeless. Again, Thank you. You saved me a trip to the hospital.
