Music is a expression of emotions through harmonic frequencies. Well if someone ask me to define the role of music in my life, so i will just say that it completes me. I always give minimum half an hour of my schedule`s time to music, because it really heals me when i try to reduce my workload. Not only in me, music has played a important part in every human culture, at both past and present.

How music affects our brain??

Research indicates that music encourages emotions through specific brain circuits. As we can clearly see the connection between the music and the brain, when the music plays; our brain automatically starts reacting to that music and we starts enjoying it. The following ways by which music affect our brain are quite heady because to understand this deeply, we need to study psychology properly. But don`t worry, i have tried to write in a way that you guys can easily understand it better.

So, the music affects our brain by different ways and paths but i have written some peak points that may help you to easily understand the concept. So, lets start!!

1.) Listening to music can create strong emotions, which increase the amount of dopamine( It is a neurotransmitter, one of those chemicals that is responsible for transmitting  signals between the nerve cells(neurons) ofthe brain.

2.) Another powerful way that affect the brain is brain wave entrainment(Brainwave entrainment is a method to encourage the brain into entering a specific state by using a pulsing sound, light, or electromagnetic field). Music affects the brain by entraining and to move it on a more relaxed state. Where we can become more focused and attentive and can increase our cognitive abilities. 

3.) A pioneering study revealed that chanting the word OM  could engage the area of the brain that is associated with calmness and a sense of inner peace. FMRI( Functional MRI) were used to scan the brainwhile people chanted different sound and syllables, including "sss" and "om". While in result, chanting the sound of "sss" showed no benefit, but chanting "om" activated the area of the brain associated with a sense of peacefulnesss.
