Some studies reveal that not only are humans hardwired for music, but they also conclude that no other stimulus positively activates so many regions of the human brain from the amygdala to the hippocampus with unique powers to boost mood and memory.
We know of a novelist in our circle who used certain methodologies to go inside of her subconscious to retrieve information and remember incidents from her teen years, well over 30 years ago.
Part of the memory retrieval techniques that she used was to listen to music from the time period of her youth. It was amazing what she remembered.
New-age is a genre of music intended to create artistic inspiration, relaxation, and optimism.
It is used by listeners for yoga, massage, meditation, reading as a method of stress management to bring about a state of ecstasy rather than trance, or to create a peaceful atmosphere in their home or other environments, and is associated with environmentalism and New Age spirituality.
Many in our circle have tried it and it certainly works for us.
“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.”…Billy Joel
New-age music includes both acoustic forms, featuring instruments such as flutes, piano, acoustic guitar and a wide variety of non-Western acoustic instruments, and electronic forms, frequently relying on sustained synth pads or long sequencer-based runs.
Vocal arrangements were initially rare in the genre, but as it has evolved vocals have become more common, especially those featuring Native American-, Sanskrit-, or Tibetan-influenced chants, or lyrics based on mythology such as Celtic legends.
New-age music is defined more by the use and effect or feeling it produces rather than the instruments and genre used in its creation.
For many adults, the effects of the pandemic have been challenging.
For teenagers it has been devastating.
As reported as wpxi.com, “A new national poll shows as many as 46% of parents reported their teenagers faced new or worsening mental health conditions since the coronavirus pandemic began last year. And for girls, it appears to be significantly worse. One in 3 parents of teen girls admitted higher levels of anxiety in their children, compared to only 1 in 5 parents of teen boys.”
The United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) adds, “Children and teens react, in part, on what they see from the adults around them. When parents and caregivers deal with the COVID-19 calmly and confidently, they can provide the best support for their children. Parents can be more reassuring to others around them, especially children, if they are better prepared.”
Sound advice.
Wellness music should be on the menu as well.
It is great to know that parents have a friend who can help.

LONDON, Jan. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Neon Music, a popular independent music publishing company, announced the beginning of its online music wellness series. Neon Music is making wellness resources available not only to musicians and the technical experts who make it possible to hear their music but also for listeners and those yet to discover a wonderful group of talented artists. The series was conceived to help people during the COVID-19 pandemic—amid the lockdowns that are making everyday life difficult and very different.
“We will be featuring music playlists that provide comfort during difficult times,” said Neon Music’s Editor, Lucy Lerner. “We will also offer articles about music therapy, interviews with artists, and perspectives of those in the music community. We will feature artists who have written all sorts of music for your listening pleasure.”
Some of the music has been inspired by aspects of the global pandemic and songwriters who write their feelings into their music, feelings that can seem overwhelming such as depression, anxiety, and other issues. Music is known as a healing therapy and Neon Music understands that music brings people together. Music can take away fear and give people hope. Neon Music wants its listeners and readers to know that no one is alone. Almost everyone is experiencing all sorts of unfamiliar feelings, perhaps addressing confusing symptoms. Co-Founder Marcus Adetola added, “We welcome you with open hearts and open arms. Come listen to the music!”
Neon Music considers itself a part of the community and will do everything it can to share the gifts of music and peace. Listeners who are living with anxiety and depression will find music to help them breathe, relax and smile. Indeed, mental health experts promote music therapy to help patients with all sorts of feelings that affect people during trying times. The Neon Music series will also focus on helping business services that have been affected during the global crisis. Neon Music’s campaign will be featured in its new Lifestyle Section on the website, promoting positivity through music.
The company is dedicated to sharing music news and updates on its blog. Recently, it was listed in the “The Best Music Blogs in 2021” by audiohype.io. As a leader in new and independent music, Neon Music is putting renewed strength behind great unique talents. It supports musicians who would normally be having interactive experiences with their live audiences. These musicians crave the opportunity to do what they do best and especially deserve to be heard by people who love or have not yet heard their music. Neon Music is making sure that their acts are heard and appreciated.
Neon Music began its business as Britznbeatz, a group of writers with a passion for music and to support and nurture the talented artists of tomorrow. It recently rebranded as Neon Music with a more modern branding design and has turned its focus to better serve music lovers globally.
