This music is wonderful to meditate to.
author: Dr. Juliet Rohde-Brown
There have been a plethora of studies on the effects of stress on the immune system and on mental health. The benefits of hypnosis, relaxation, and various mind/body approaches are now well-known, even among lay people.
Many musicians/composers have attempted to jump on the bandwagon, as it were, and to develop music that is promoted as “relaxation music.” However, much of this music that is touted as being beneficial actually appears to contribute to stress because it either moves too rapidly or has variations in tonal quality that force the person to sort of “keep up with the music.”
The distinction with Peter’s music is that, perhaps because of his own commitment to meditation, he truly understands how to work with tonal quality, how to guide the heart rate into a slower pace, and how to create a consistent sound to facilitate relaxed breathing. I have searched for years for just the right music and I have found it with Peter Morley. In my estimation, his work is even better than Halpern, who is well-known for his work.
