“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
Music has proven that it not only uplifts the mood, but also gives you strength to get through problems; it changes your perspective and inspires creativity in many, reduces stress, calms your breathing, reduces blood pressure, helps get over any hurdle be it addictions, situations, and people, reduces suicidal instincts, it further reduces pain, jars the memory―all in all, the right music at the right time is highly therapeutic.
