When stress comes, people's breathing becomes rapid and the amount of breathing decreases. Therefore, learning breathing relaxation methods can enable us to control our breathing, indirectly change our physiological and emotional responses, and achieve the effect of relaxation.

There are two key points in controlling breathing, namely "frequency" and "position".

Music relaxation method

Music exists in a wide range of cultures and has become a part of our daily lives. When we walk out on the street, it is not difficult to hear music being played in shopping malls, shops, buses, clinics, etc.

According to external research, in addition to its aesthetic and entertainment value, music is also used in therapy. Music therapy can induce physiological responses, help relax and adjust stress, and achieve the goal of physical and mental comfort.

However, everyone responds to and prefers music differently, and the relaxing effects may vary depending on factors such as age, health, and lifestyle.
