Listed to a Song that Reduces Anxiety

There’s a song that’s so relaxing that drivers are actually being warned not to listen to it while behind the wheel.

Said to be the most calming song ever, the eight-minute piece of music has been found to reduce blood pressure, slow the heart rate and also decrease levels of cortisol, aka the stress hormone.

The band worked with sound therapists on the track, using pianos, guitars, chimes, and buddhist chants to create the melody.

A study found that ‘Weightless’ reduced anxiety by 65 per cent and even made some of the participants ‘drowsy’.

Dr David Lewis-Hodgson, who conducted the research, said: “The results clearly show that the track induced the greatest relaxation – higher than any of the other music tested.

“Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.
