Different types of music do different types of things for us. Our brains start firing our neurons 300 to 500 milliseconds after it's exposed to music. So that's faster than we have a conscious thought or before we can even recognize the melody.

Hi, Mike. Thank you for having me.

70% of Americans listen to music for three to four hours a day. So then when we think of music and how much we're consuming music anyway, that's a lot of hours. But the idea of intentionally using music to help with our focus, our cognitive functions, our emotional awareness, community building, we don't necessarily put the thought into that in our everyday lives. And so that's what...

I love talking about is how we can intentionally use music as that tool to bring presence into our everyday lives.

Absolutely. But I have to ask, do you like that music or do you find, you know, the idea of the masseuse and the waterfall and the flute music? To me, that doesn't resonate with me. So it's almost makes me a little anxious instead of relaxed. Do you actually find that you are more relaxed when you hear that type of music in that setting?

OK, so I'm going to answer your question and then you just spurred something else that I love talking about as music, as a cue in the absence of music and what that does to our brains. But so it's not always waterfalls and flutes. Different types of music do different types of things for us. Our brains start firing our neurons 300 to 500 milliseconds after it's exposed to music.

So that's faster than we have a conscious thought or before we can even recognize the melody. And what it does, it goes through our auditory cortex to our amygdala, so where we process emotions. So you're right that it makes you feel something, but it doesn't just have to be that because music can help lower our blood pressure and our cortisol levels. And maybe it's Bach.
