Research has proven that music can provide therapeutic benefits to individuals struggling with a wide array of physical, mental, and behavioral problems. Used in conjunction with a variety of therapies, music can have a profound influence upon human behavior. Hypnotherapists and meditation professionals often incorporate music into their treatment programs. Sheri Howell of Angelite Hypnosis in Lake Orion, MI uses hypnosis music in sessions and CDs that she gives to patients: "In hypnotherapy, music is just as integral as the wording itself. The beat is important because it slows the mind down". Hypnosis music and meditation music are used not only to tap into a patient's subconscious, but also alter the body's physiological state, producing changes in patients' brains and cardiovascular systems. Because music has a tremendous impact on a patient's mental and physiological functioning, therapists should use caution when choosing music to integrate into treatments. First, therapists should analyze the tempo of the music. Hypnosis music and meditation music should have a tempo of around 60 beats per minute. Studies have shown that a patient's heartbeat synchronizes itself to the tempo of the music playing during therapy sessions. Slower tempos decrease the patient's heart rate, helping him or her to relax. Furthermore, research has demonstrated that music played at 60 beats per minute facilitates the production of alpha waves on both the left and right sides of the brain. These types of waves generate a sense of calmness and prepare the brain to think creatively, learn, and meditate. Second, therapists should select neutral, unemotional music. Ambient music is often used as hypnosis music and meditation music because its atmospheric or environmental sound generally does not trigger emotional reactions from patients. Third, therapists should look for music that contains soothing and warm instrumentation, such as soft piano or strings. In addition to soothing instrumentation, hypnosis music and meditation music often incorporates natural elements such as the sound of ocean waves, gently flowing streams, or birds chirping.
