Over the last couple of weeks I have been listening to a lot of ambient music while doing my chores, reading blogs, cooking meals and on my walks. I have always known that music is an effective relaxation and stress management tool and have found that listening to music, these last couple of days in particular, has really helped me calm down and de-stress. So for this week's Tuesday Tune I am posting one of the songs that I have listened to MANY times this week. This music has really helped me relax and release some of the tension that I have been carrying over the last couple of very stressful weeks.
Music can affect the body in many health-promoting ways, which is the basis for a growing field known as music therapy. However, you can use music in your daily life and achieve many stress relief benefits on your own. One of the great benefits of music as a stress reliever is that it can be used while you conduct your regular activities so that it really doesn’t take time away from your busy schedule. Music provides a wonderful backdrop for your life so that you can find increased enjoyment from what you’re doing and also reduce stress from your day. Source
I hope you might be able to find some time just for you so that you can chill out, relax and unwind to this peaceful music from Café Del Mar called Lux (Northern Lights)
No matter how much pressure you feel, if you could find ways to relax for at least five minutes every hour, you’d be more productive. Dr. Joyce Brothers

Ciao Natasha, I could not agree with you more about music being good for us. I need to listen to different types of music to match my mood.:)
ReplyDeleteI will be adding your choice today to my play list. Take Care and let us all hope the world has a better week!
Happy sunday my dear friend......love love Ria...xxx...
ReplyDeleteDearest Natasha, like Linda I also agree that music is good for us. I listen to something every day, and like Linda, what I listen to has to match my mood. So yesterday the songs I was listening to, were rather upbeat. Great choice for today. I like Cafe' del Mar.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, dear Natasha. I hope your father-in-law has continued to improve.
ReplyDeleteWe all need some time to relax and take care of ourselves. Thank you for sharing.
Nice relaxing music, Natasha. I should make more time to listen to music but the only time I listen is when I am driving...Christine
ReplyDeleteThat was soothing Natasha. I enjoyed it very much.

Don't we all wish the earth could be as tranquil as those pictures in your selected video.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that where you are located there was great concern about the tsunami, and now of course they are talking about the possible nuclear danger. Guess I better reply that video.
Here's to a better week.
I really liked Cafe Del Mar and am going to see about buying some of their stuff. I love ambient music.
ReplyDeleteNatasha, I love your selection today. Both the music and the photos are beautiful. So glad you shared this!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Really beautiful and relaxing, you had a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the mood for posting music today, may be next week.
Cheers!
I love the idea of your blog. Once I get browsing at blogs it is never just 5 minutes though :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, those cookies look yummy.
Take Care,

Music not only soothes the savage soul, but it also seems to soothe the stress out of me!
ReplyDeleteHow is your Father-in-law doing?
Hi Natasha, I hope later is better than never here. I can't seem to get my song in before Tuesday Tea..but here it is. Thanks so much for hosting your lovely party. :o)
ReplyDeleteThis song was done by a bloggy friend's daughter and is just incredible! It made me cry it was so wonderful!
You wrote the sweetest post here. I love the idea of listening to music to relax. But gosh..that is the exact opposite of what I'm doing today. :o) I've start 'hula-hooping' with an adult sized hoop and am so hooked! Every time another good country song comes on the radio...I'm at it again. Ha! Love it!
