MUSIC POWER Creative Living through the Joys of Music Barbara Anne Scarantino Foreword by Paul Anka Music is the quintessential stimulus. It is aural, visceral, primal. It calms fears... inspires passion...heightens sexuality ...instills laughter...prompts tears... induces sleep... heals. Music sparks an alchemy of moods. Used for or against us by others, music can manipulate our behavior—and our buying habits. Now, however, we can learn to tap music’s power for our Own personal benefits. Classical, jazz, rock, New Age—every kind of music can be more effectively used to enrich our lives and our children’s lives. Music Power reveals how to use music as both arelaxantandastimulant, to achieve many results: greater alert- ness and concentration, self-awareness, physical and mental energy, coordina- tion, athletic performance, and more. Practical listening suggestions and physical and mental exercises are included to help you develop an awareness of music —in all its forms—and of your own body, mind, and spirit.
