Join us for an evening of practice, discussion, and connection with Dr. Howard!
Music Mindfulness for Stress Reduction
Music mindfulness is the attentive and focused listening to music utilized for health and wellbeing. The intimate, mindful engagement with music permits the listener to relax and creates a safe space for emotional release. Mindful listening has been shown to help focus the mind, reduce stress, and regulate mood (Howard and Schimmack, 2017).
