The influence of music on mental health

Music has been shown to have a significant impact on mental health in a variety of ways:

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Music can help reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and promote relaxation.

MOOD ENHANCEMENT

Listening to pleasant music can increase dopamine levels in the brain, improving mood and reducing feelings of sadness or depression.

COGNITIVE STIMULATION

Playing musical instruments or listening to complex music can help improve cognitive functions, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving skills. For example, in certain contexts, such as studying or working, music can improve focus and concentration, creating a sound environment that reduces external distractions.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Music can serve as a form of nonverbal communication, allowing people to express themselves and connect with others through the emotional language of music itself.

MUSIC THERAPY

Music therapy is a clinical approach that uses music as a therapeutic means to address a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders.

Overall, music can be a powerful tool for improving people’s mental health and emotional well-being. However, it is important to note that the effect of music can vary from person to person, and music may not be the solution for all mental health problems.

Benedictine and Franciscan Monks: Forgotten Inventors

Usually, when we think of religious orders, these things come to mind: a cloister, an abbey, a library, prayer in solitude, detachment from the world… All this in the cradle of a period defined as "dark" by historiography up to Romanticism: the Middle Ages . In this period the monks - especially the Benedictines of the various orders - were the custodians of Judeo-Christian but also classical culture, since thanks to their patient and meticulous transcriptions as scribes we have received almost all of the Greek and Latin works which we study today. Today we are grateful to them first of all for this. However, many do not know that many products - material and immaterial - that we consume and use every day, come from monks who, using their ingenuity nourished by a profound spirituality, invented them due to practical necessities. Personally, I find it amazing! Let's begin… The heavy plow Plows were a primary agri...

Aren’t We All Poor Things?

"Poor Things!", released in Italian theatres on January 25 2024, is a film by director Yorgos Lanthimos that presents itself as a startling and thought-provoking work. Through grotesque atmospheres and surreal hues, the film revisits the myth of Frankenstein in a modern key, focusing on the female figure of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone). Bella, an emancipated woman with a sexuality that was free for her time, is brought back to life by the scientist God (Mark Ruffalo) after a suicide attempt. However, her brain is replaced with that of the foetus she was carrying, creating a hybrid and unique creature. Like Frankenstein's monster, Bella finds herself catapulted into a world that does not understand or fear her. Her childlike innocence clashes with the cruelty and hypocrisy of Victorian society, leading her to have grotesque and tragicomic experiences. Lanthimos, through the figure of Bella, explores deep and universal themes: diversity, the search for a place in the world...
