Meditation Song: Helps with Anxiety

NEUROSCIENTISTS DISCOVER A SONG THAT REDUCES ANXIETY BY 65 PERCENT 
Neuroscientists Discover Meditation Song helps with Anxiety
Anxiety — that feeling of dread, fear, worry and panic — is certainly nothing new. Hippocrates wrote about it in the fourth century BCE. As did Søren Kierkegaard in the 1860s. And Sigmund Freud addressed the disorder in 1926.

Pharmaceutical drugs tend to be the classic treatment for treating anxiety (as well as the biggest money maker). Cognitive therapy is a common approach as well. Those with a holistic bent often turn to meditation, yoga, massage and other relaxation techniques. Music therapy has also been used with some success. But now neuroscientists in the U.K. have zeroed in on a single song that results in a dramatic 65 percent reduction in overall anxiety…However, jump to the present and we’re seeing a significant uptick — especially with youth.
