Music has a direct influence on pulse rate, blood pressure, the nervous system, digestion, muscles, and glands of the body

1. Psychology Effects of Music In Our Life
Jeanette Stofleth

2. Music has crossed the
boundaries of language,
culture, and religion to
affect more lives than
almost any other social
force.

3. Even the Christian church
has been invaded by so-
called “gospel rock.”

4. Gospel Rock:
The lyrics talk about grace, peace,
praise, and God’s love,
BUT
What message is being
communicated by the
tempo and rhythm of this
“now” music?

5. Music exercises tremendous
power over the conscious and
the subconscious nature of
those who listen to it.

6. It has long been known that:
Martial music
Band music
Religious music
Predictable
emotional
responses
PRODUCE
Moods of listeners have been
programmed by certain kinds of music.

7. How does
MUSIC
affects MOODS?

8. Nerves of the ear
have more
extensive
connections
than any other
nerves of the
body.

9. Music has a direct
influence on
pulse rate, blood
pressure, the
nervous system,
digestion,
muscles, and
glands of the
body.

10. “Music is made of the stuff which is and
of itself the most powerful stimulant
known among the perceptual
processes…. Music operates on our
emotional faculty with greater
intensiveness and rapidity than the
product of any other act.”

11. The body only
functions when
the brain
commands it to.
Music has to
reach the brain
before it can
affect the
organs.

12. In the brain:
Music is “heard”
in the portion of
the brain which
receives the
stimuli of
emotions,
sensations, and
feelings.

13. In the brain:
Music completely bypasses
the brain centers involving
reason and intelligence.

14. Music enters through the
thalamus – a relay
station for emotions,
sensations, and feelings.

15. The individual who listens
will be affected by the
music without even making
any conscious decision in
the matter.

16. Music Therapy
Music is now used as a
way to reach the
minds of the retarded,
mentally ill, and
emotionally disturbed.

17. Modern music has created an
emotional attitude of
acceptance toward…
aberrations of conduct, such
as drugs, sensualism and
rebellion.

18. By operating through the thalamus,
Satan bypasses the mental and
spiritual barricades of intelligent
reason, and enters the citadel of
the mind – the great control
center of all human decisions and
action.

19. In the mind, Satan can
translate musical
impressions into physical
action.

20. A vast proportion of the present
teenage restless rebellion
might be traced to a constant
exposure to incompatible
rhythms.
