    Music plays a vital roll in human life. Human is associated with music since its civilisation. While hearing music a hermon is secrets from human mind which helps in relaxation. That's why we feel good while listening music. In Vastu Sastra the same technique is used, while listening to the wing cham's sound.

    The Benefits of Yoga and Meditation on Musical Performance

    Zen, meditation, yoga, for many people these words conjure up images of harmless but somewhat misguided individuals shaping themselves into impossible poses while singing Kumbiah. Those are the images that always came to my mind when those topics came up. That is until I tried it. Often seen as an unreachable goal these practices are not just for the few, but for anyone-particularly anyone who wants to play better and with more ease.

    There is really no magic or secret to Zen practice. One merely has to breath. I can hear some of you saying now, that's silly we breathe all the time." Ahh, but what I am talking about is conscience breath.

    Here is a challenge for you. Sit quietly somewhere and take ten deep, long breaths through your nose. Count them.

    Go ahead try it. I'll wait.

    How many of you got to ten before you forgot what you were doing?
    Contrary to popular belief, the goal of meditation is not the absence of thought, but the observance of it. To put it another way it is as if we live in a constant stream of thoughts and to meditate means simply step out of the stream long enough to observe the flow. Try another 10 breaths now and see how you do!
    Now how can you play effectively with all that noise in your head? Problem is what can be done about it?

    The answer, sitting around doing nothing. That is to say meditation. Will that help your playing? There is some scientific and anecdotal evidence to suggest this is the case.

    In 2005 the prestigious Tanglewood Music Center partnered with the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and Harvard Medical School to study Yoga's effects on musician's performance. (Hardy, 2006) After its second year the study reports significant reductions in performance anxiety among the participants of the study.

    Music is especially helpful in relaxation and stress management. Music can help your brain get into a meditative state, which carries wonderful stress relief benefits with it. For those who find meditation intimidating, music can be an easier alternative. Music is such a great stress management tool thataffects our thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

    I have found when I am really stressed out that I select a piece of music that reflects in sound how I feel and gradually switch pieces as I calm down and relax. Sometimes it's hard to shift gears in the mind when agitated to listen to calm soothing music when you want to air drum or air guitar out the agitation. Once you do that, you can switch to a more soothing music choice until you finally are relaxed and receptive enough to meditate.
