Music as an Emotional Conduit

Music has the unique ability to bypass the analytical mind and speak directly to the emotional body. Its rhythms, melodies, harmonies, and dynamics interact with the nervous system, influencing heart rate, breath, mood, and muscle tone. A single chord change can stir memories. A steady beat can induce grounding. A melodic phrase can open the heart.
