Recovery Music

Music as a form of Treatment?

• Rhythm can guide the body into breathing in slower, deeper patterns that have a calming effect• Heart rate and blood pressure are also responsive to the types of music that are listened to. • Music can also relieve muscle tension and improve motor skills. It is often used to help rebuild physical patterning skills in rehabilitation clinics.

Recovery Music

• Levels of endorphins, natural pain relievers, are increased while listening to music, and levels of stress hormones are decreased. • A 1993 study at Michigan State University showed that even 15 minutes of exposure to music could increase interleukin-1 levels, a consequence which also heightens immunity.

“I Can't Make You Love Me”

STABLE vs UNSTABLE“She Can’t Really Be Gone”

Recovery Music

"Can't Be Really Gone“- Tim McGrawWritten by Gary Burr

Her hat is hanging by the doorThe one she bought in Mexico

It blocked the wind, it stopped the rainShe'd never leave that one

So, she can't be really gone

Recovery Music

The shoes she bought on Christmas EveShe laughed and said they called her name

It's like they're waiting in the hallFor her to slip them on

So, she can't be really gone

Recovery Music

I don't know when she'll come backShe must intend to come backI've seen the error of my ways

Don't waste the tears on meWhat more proof do you need

Just look around the roomSo much of her remains

Recovery Music

Her book is lying on the bedThe two of hearts to mark her pageNow who could ever walk away…

at chapter 21?So, she can't be really gone
