Press Release Summary = Noise pollution affects our mental and physical well-being.

Press Release Body = MUSIC THERAPY
\"Whistle while you work\" is a practise which has more or less died out in the
industrialized world. In London people sit on the train headphones in their ears
listening to music and with a book in their hands desperately trying to create their
own personal, private space in a noisy, overcrowded environment.

Noise pollution assails us wherever we go these days. But I would be willing to
wager that 90.0% of those seemingly unfriendly travelers are, in fact, perfectly
open to contact with other people if the other person was the first to make the
move. Unfortunately many people do not know how to form relationships never having
been taught how to or are too scared to do so. They take refuge in a world which
they create while listening to music.

Loud music and house boundaries must be two of the major causes of dispute amongst
neighbors. Our demands for instant gratification have led to a lack of tolerance.
Overly loud music damages us mentally and physically. Tension headaches and
gradual loss of hearing being two obvious effects. We are becoming evermore
sensitive to the effects of noise. This I believe is having an especially
detrimental effect on babies and young children. They do not know what silence and
peace and quiet are. Even while asleep they can still pick up the sound vibrations
from the television and numerous other pieces of equipment. These energies do not
act as a lullaby!

In the days of ballroom dancing the choice of music was deliberately chosen to vary
the mood from time to time.- fast and light hearted, slow and romantic and the
dancers responded appropriately. Now popular music seems to be relentlessly loud and
high energy.

Sometimes without being consciously aware of the fact we are all trying to give
ourselves music therapy. Music therapy must be as old as mankind. From the time we
first lived in communities we have used music to heal, to celebrate, to mourn and on
countless other occasions as well.

Music has a valuable part to play in all our lives. It helps us weather the ups and
downs of life. But listening to music has become for many people a very solitary
activity. We need to learn to create and to share music more. It might just help
world peace!
