Above us and in our midst, winding inside us. Music offers something more than just an escape; it can be a spiritual, soothing experience. Studies have found that all types of music, regardless of complexity and style, can bring a sense of peace within. Incorporating music in prayer or meditation rituals is one way to elevate this peacefulness and make it more meaningful. For example, singing hymns in choirs at church is thought to be immensely beneficial emotionally, spiritually and even physically in some cases. Others use mantras and sacred texts to create a heavenly serenity for mind and body as best suits their own unique beliefs.
