To become a healthy version of ourself it is important to keep our mental health in check. A often overlooked part of the mental health is music. Personal experience learns that people get around just fine without music in their life. This does not mean that we can’t benefit from music in our life. In any shape or form.
We can try so many things to heal ourselves: medicines, hospital visits, osteopath, psychologists and so on. Have you ever heard a doctor prescribe music therapy?

There is so much untapped potential benefits for listening to music.
