The impact of music on your mind

in #music7 years ago

We are what we think so every thought that we have in the end determinate the way we act in certain situations.

Your mind is your most precious asset so you should guard it with your life.

There’s a study that says that you need to listen something three times before remains forever in your mind and once something is in your conscious or subconscious it can influence your actions.
Three times!! That’s not much at all. If you listen to a song you hear the chorus more than three times.

I am not a professional so I have no idea what I am talking about. I'm just showing you some things, it's your deal how you act on them. You should also make your own research.

Let’s make a quick analysis on one of the most popular song of all time. Maroon Five – One More Night.

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

This chorus appears four times in the song. If you look at it it’s really needy and pretty stupid I would say. If you don’t know this already neediness it’s not good. You want to be the one who gives value to the world not the one who seeks value from others. But anyway, good and bad are subjective so find out if it’s good for you or not.

So after you listen this song that chorus is already in your subconscious. It’s a really catchy song, and even I wanted to listen it one more time. But what if you really like the song and listen it a few times everyday? Oh damn! You may end up thinking like that and I don’t think you want that.

You may say: “This is a special case, not all the songs are like this”. That’s true, not all the songs are like this but sure as hell that all the songs promoted by mainstream media are like this.

Well, what should I do right now, you may ask. Not listen to music at all? This is a possibility. But life without music is like food without salt. It has no taste.

You have two real possibilities:

  • Listen to music without words or with as little words as possible.

  • Or analyze the music you listen and make yourself a playlist with music that has good lyrics.

In the end your mind is one of the most important things you have so you need to protect it as good as you can.

Music is life! Made me want to sing Hallelujah. :-)

I totally agree with you. Btw, I just saw 5 episodes from No Tomorrow. It's really great. Thanks for that :D

I'm happy you like it! I can't wait to do more on my bucket list. You should start making your list too. :-)

I had one but I was not able to finish it.
One of my friends has a discord channel full of amazing people : https://discordapp.com/invite/BzJXrcQ Maybe you want to join.

I just did. :-)

The influence of music which is vibration is incredible. With knowing that binaural beats being able to change humans' state of mind not acknowledging the impact of music on our Selves feels impossible.

I agree with you. Binaural beats are pretty interesting :D

I was using binaural beats and isochronic tones to assist with meditation a lot in 2014. The levels of relaxation and focus that is able to be obtained with the assistance of those tools is incredible. That's one of the things that deeply influenced my exploration of cymatics and field theory in general.

The hippies were onto something with the whole "vibe" thing.

Ayyy two of my favorite Steemians @rootingrobert and @guyfawkes4-20 ya diggg. Binairual beats are incredible

the power of vibrations my friends :)

Music has been one of the most powerful tools in assisting me in shaping my perspective of the world in meaningful ways. Assisting in programming my inner voice as well as a catalyst to fully feel certain emotions in order to integrate experiences into a cohesive personality. As with anything, conscious consumption is important when listening to music.

True that :D

Couldn't Imagine Life without MUSIC! I like all Forms but Many can be Depressing or Sad. I like to Make Music .. It makes me Happy.

Keep on making music then, if that's what makes you happy. :D
