Few years ago, in my usual quest for exploring, I decided to book a massage therapy session. It was going to be my first time and so I was very attentive to every little detail.
Just in case you don't know the benefits of a massage session, here are a few:
- Help reduce stress.
- Lessen pain and muscle tightness.
- Increase relaxation.
- Improve the work of the immune system.
During the massage session, the massage therapist played this track and all my attention was channelled to it. I didn't know that it had been an hour already because I was just so relaxed and consumed by solace. After the session, I asked the massage therapist for the track and he obliged. I went home feeling very happy and fulfilled. My quest brought a new insight to my livelihood.
The track above is an instrumental by Bethel music; an American music label and worship movement. At first , I didn't know that this track was a worship song, all I knew was that it was very soothing to listen to.
Why I love this track
Listening to this track has helped me in many ways. It has brought necessary insights to my livelihood in the following ways:
Reflection and Relaxation:
I'm one who likes to take out time once a week to do an in-depth reflection. Looking at my failures and successes. Where I went wrong and things of that sort.
Listening to this track has made things easier. With my earpods plugged in and the track playing, I could do as much reflection and in the process relax as long as I want to without disturbance from the hustle and bustle around me.
Sleep:
There are some days when I want to take a nap but everywhere is just so noisy and the weather is about 110°F(very hot). It's no doubt that one would struggle to sleep in such an environment, but not when this track is on.
With this track on 'play' , all the muscles in my body automatically relax making it easier to fall asleep, even amidst the turbulence.
Writing:
Listening to this track helps me tap into my creativity pool. All my articles come with a piece of me and getting the right piece for every articles requires a degree of attentiveness.
Some people may argue that one can't come up with a good article while listening to music, I'm not here to argue with them. What works for me, would not necessarily work for others.
These are a few out of the many reasons why I love this track. Over the years, this track has been my most played. It's one hour long and like they say, the longer the better💆
PS: psychology says that listening to tracks like this helps with proper brain functioning and it's also good for the heart. Now you know.
This is my response to 
No words, just music
Is there an instrumental track that you simply love? One that moves you. (Instrumental meaning no words, just music). Share a YouTube link to the track and tell us what it is about the piece of music that you love in a post of at least 300 words.
