Relaxation Music and Stress Reduction

Relaxation and the reduction of stress is now proven to be a fundamental building block to health, healing and well-being (See The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson MD). The obvious question is: How can you best achieve relaxation and support your body's innate ability for self-healing?

One of the most ancient, effective and enjoyable ways to relax is with music. But not just any music...because most music was not composed for relaxation or healing. In fact, while you may think you are relaxing to entertainment-oriented pop or classical music, physiological measurements have demonstrated that very little true relaxation takes place, which is not enough to reset your chronic stress level .

My relaxation music, on the other hand, has been tested and proven, in landmark biofeedback studies in the 1970s, to activate the deep relaxation reflex. Encoded in my recordings are the keys that I have discovered to composing music for relaxation that activates our innate healing response. The relaxation experienced by millions of listeners around the world over the past 35 years represents a track record unrivalled by any other composer. The music is sure to work for you, too.

My relaxation music is based on the principles of resonance, entrainment, and intention. Most music tends to evoke an unconscious, analytical response that keeps you anticipating where the music will go next; it keeps you focused on the future. That is great in the entertainment arena. But true relaxation only happens in the present, in the Now. You can't relax in the future; you can only relax in the present moment.

See my video on YouTube, 'Scalus Interruptus"  and my articles "Insider Secrets of Choosing and Using Music for Relaxation and Healing" and "Relaxation, Stress Reduction and New Dimensions of Sound Healing" to learn more about why this breakthrough is so important.

The beauty of choosing healing music as the modality of choice for helping you to relax is that it works automatically. As I've often said, with my music, "All you have to do is listen"^TM Your DNA, cells and vital organs literally "know the score."

You can benefit by playing the music softly in the background, at home or at work. You can amplify the benefits by listening deeply, with intention and attention, especially with headphones.

BENEFITS of RELAXATION and STRESS REDUCTION

- Increased feelings of well-being, happiness and inner peace

- Fall asleep more easily, and waken up refreshed

- A more robust immune system

- Greater concentration, focus, creativity

Whether you have only one minute, five minutes or an hour to fully immerse yourself in the music, allow yourself to take a deep breath, close your eyes, and let the music take you into the state of relaxation,  harmony and inner peace. 

Sound Healing Music

Sound Healing is an umbrella term that focuses on the intentional use of sound and music to support the natural healing energies of the "human instrument." Sources of sound healing include instruments, voice, metal and quartz crystal bowls, tuning forks, drums and computer-based frequency generators.

Relaxation and the reduction of stress is now proven to be a fundamental building block to health, healing and well-being and a healthy lifestyle in general (see The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson MD). The obvious question is: How can you best achieve relaxation and support your body's innate ability for self-healing?

One of the most ancient, effective and enjoyable ways to relax is with music. But not just any music, because most music was not composed for relaxation or healing. I have discovered keys to composing music for sound healing that activates our innate healing response, and I orchestrate my recordings to optimize this response. My music has been proven effective through landmark biofeedback studies in the 1970s as well as the positive experiences of millions of listeners around the world.

My sound healing music is based on the principles of resonance, entrainment, and intention. Most music tends to evoke an unconscious, analytical response that keeps you anticipating where the music will go next; it keeps you focused on the future. That is great in the entertainment arena.

The beauty of choosing healing music as the modality of choice in sound healing is that it works automatically, in the background, as you go about your daily activities. You don't have to physically hit a Tibetan bowl or tuning fork, or make unusual sounds with your voice, "All you have to do is listen." ^TM Your DNA, cells and vital organs literally "know the score."

You can benefit simply by playing the music softly in the background, at home or at work. You can amplify the benefits by listening deeply, with intention and attention, especially with headphones.

BENEFITS of SOUND HEALING

- Increased feelings of well-being, happiness and inner peace

- Fall asleep more easily, and waken up refreshed

- A more robust immune system

- Greater concentration, focus, creativity

For over 40 years, I have focused on the healing powers of music composed with the intention of creating greater harmony, balance and inner peace. In my workshops and books, I have always promoted all aspects of sound healing. My calling, and my gift, has been to compose music that takes my listeners to a deeply relaxed state in which healing happens naturally, and which uplifts body, mind and soul. 

Music for Sleep

Brainwave Entrainment

All HIGH COHERENCE soundscapes add sonic brainwave entrainment technology to Steven Halpern's healing music, thereby amplifying the results you want for sleep, meditation or healing.

Our bodies respond to the rhythms of the world around us. "Entrainment' is the term that describes how our heartbeat synchronizes (entrains) to a drumbeat, for instance (measured in beats per minute).

I have been involved in researching and producing soundscapes using brainwave entrainment since 1977. I have worked with leading scientists like Itzhak Bentov, Dr. Andrijah Puharich, and IBM senior scientist Dr. Marcel Vogel, and have a track record of proven success going back over 30 years. In 1991, I demonstrated this technology to the 48 HOURS  producers in the recording studio. They were blown away, and we all anticipated the public's response when the segment aired. Alas, I was told it was 'too powerful' and did not make it through the final edit.

Music for Meditation

One of the key principles of meditation is the shifting of attention from external stimuli to more subtle, internal realities. Meditation typically involves a slowing down of heartbeat, breath and brainwaves, which is opposite to what occurs when you listen to familiar music with a fast tempo.
 

Music for Massage

Create the same healing sound environment featured in many leading destination spas and massage schools. Steven's music enhances rapport, relaxation and receptivity, resulting in a more rewarding therapeutic massage.

Music for Yoga

Millions of people now enjoy yoga for its physical and spiritual benefits. Inner Peace Music is an ideal complement to yoga practice. (Steven's music is inspired by the rhythm of a deep yogic breath.) Helping to keep your mind calm, your muscles relaxed, and your breathing deep and slow.

Music for Learning

Using the right music can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the environment for learning.

The unique compositional structure of Steven Halpern's music helps you access the appropriate brain states to reduce stress and improve concentration and overall learning.

Spoken Word with Music

Subliminal Self-Health Audio Programs

By combining my relaxing music with subliminal affirmations, we create a more powerful program that focuses on a particular outcome that supports your goals.

"Subliminal” refers to perception below the threshold of conscious awareness. The series of positive suggestions are spoken normally, but mixed very softly into the music. You don't audibly hear these affirmations, but your subconscious mind does, and responds accordingly!
