Music For Healing

[mary1979]

Do you have a particular song (or even genre) that resonates with you during your healing period?
Can you share it with me please?

Something that can ease your hyper vigilance and soothe you when your cup is full?

Depends what eases your hypervigilance?

I tend to have songs that amp it. Dish it out and get rid of that fire. Same as with preferred exercise until I'm stable: something that's throwing myself right on that target, instead of pretending all is chill. Then is chill time.

So you like to distract and calm yourself by raising your heart rate @Cashew?

That's a really interesting concept, seems really simple but id never thought of upping the tempo.

Mostly considered that it was a calmative thing.

I listen to heavy music when I'm mad, or when I'm cleaning haha

Hahaha sorry about the attachment.

When I first saw your reply I misread your statement as Depends what you consider as hyper vigilance, which struck me as really odd for a PTSDer so thought it best to define it.

Then read your response again before I posted and realised my mistake

I listen to Tibetan singing bowls on Pandora. I pay the $4/month I don't have to be annoyed by ads.

- This is a particular piece of Meditation music, We use this for relaxation within the UK Military "Warrior Programme" it is extremely soothing and if it can sooth the Inner beasts of Servicemen and Women it sure can sooth any beast.

I have a particularly Violent Alter in me and I use this particular Karllson track to go off to sleep, keeping my nasty side under control.

Hope this helps.

I find Gaelic psalms and Russian orthodox monastic chant soothing. Also Brian Eno's music - especially 'Apollo: Atmosphere's and Soundtracks'. I use this to help me sleep.

I have no particular genre or cd but Birdy, Lorde, Corribe Bailey Rae, Lianne La Havas, Eva Cassidy.... Like I said it's not a genre but it centres me it's not loud when played. It's on in the hallway on low I sit and centre myself and become mindful. This is my just my view good luck

Reality by Lost Frequencies - It makes me feel calm for some reason.

I love EDM :)

I have a continual mix on my iPod that helps me and the songs vary. Sometimes I am really into songs like "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten. Other times I need something more like "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan. Other times, I do need something more strong, too help get emotions out. Usually for settling hypervigilance though, I am more for soothing or empowering music.

I love this thread.

So much music helps me, and it's all over the map. But the topic title makes me think of Ray Lynch. Just about any of his stuff, from the Tibetan bells and near minimalism of Sky of Mind to the post-New Age last stuff.

This track builds to a perfect moment:
