Breathe
By Renata Roa
I am an avowed music lover and love music deeply. Since I was a little girl, music has been an integral part of my family life and the way I interact with my loved ones. Whether it's on car rides, during Christmas, at meals or even while bathing, music has always been present in every space of my life, creating a soundtrack for every moment of it.
As Joe Dispenza, chiropractor and researcher, says, 95% of who we are at age 35 is due to the programming we have been exposed to consciously or unconsciously. In my case, music has played a fundamental role in this formation. However, beyond the influence of the environment, I have personally experienced the powerful positive effects of living in the presence of music and today I am here to convince you, if you don't already, that it is one of the best investments you can make for your well-being.
Music has an incomparable collective effect. Mobilizations happen through rhythms. Ask a massive group of people to do something and it will probably take longer to do it than it does through a melody in which people very instinctively replicate the behavior of others. The mirror neuron acts and above all that something internally generates that movement. If you want to be part of a group, music can be a way to enter in a subtle and powerful way, which for me is the most successful combo there is.
