The Healing Energy of Music
by Jill Mattson

Must buy the perfect present… What to have for
Christmas dinner… Get those Christmas cookies
baked. When are we trimming the tree? Clean the
house... Who will I be with this Christmas? YIKES
- I CANNOT HANDLE THIS: ( ... Stress! Stress!
Stress!
These familiar feelings of dread make a sharp contrast
with the true significance of Christmas – Peace on
Earth, Goodwill, Joy and Love; Celebration! So
how do we reconcile the hustle and bustle and
Christmas EXHAUSTION – with the deep feelings
of peace and love that we all want?
The fastest way that I know of - to enjoy a healthy
and balanced Holiday - is right in front of our noses
- Music. Not just traditional holiday music, but
peaceful, uplifting music that radiates the feeling of

joy and goodwill to all who listen! Everyone knows
that music alters our emotions, yet we diminish its
value by considering music as only entertainment.
Music is much more.
Music (and other special sounds) makes you feel
- it interacts with your emotions. Everyone has
snapped their fingers to a lively beat, and relaxed
to the soothing sound of the ocean. Music and a
wide array of special sound waves interact with
our emotions and environment, which are actually
energies. Music is comprised of sound waves, which
combine with YOU (best when in close proximity).
This opens up a whole new way of looking at our
world.
With each listen you absorb a tiny amount of this
precious energy (feeling) via the musical sound
