Music therapy uses music as a tool for promoting mental, physical, and emotional health and well-being.
Music therapists are trained to understand the therapeutic properties of different types of music and use them to support their clients’ goals. The therapist may also use music to help the client process emotions, build new skills, or work through challenges.
Hi, I’m Mik, one of TunePocket music composers. I went though our large catalog of royalty free music and picked some of the best music tracks for relaxation therapy, sleep, cognitive behavioral therapy, as well as mindfulness, reiki, and therapeutic massage.
Relaxing music is often used in music therapy to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety, promote relaxation, and improve sleep. This type of music can have a calming effect on the body and mind, helping to slow down the heart rate and breathing, and lower blood pressure. This can lead to a state of deep relaxation, where the individual feels more at ease and better able to manage stress.
How music therapy helps with anxiety, depression, and healing?
The therapists use slow, soft music with a repetitive melody and rhythm to create a calming atmosphere. The client is then invited to simply listen to the music, close their eyes, and focus on their breathing. This can help them to enter a state of deep relaxation, where they feel more centered and at peace.
Pro therapist tip: Try using peaceful nature sounds along with the music for combined effect.
Music for therapy
Ambient or relaxing music is used in various therapy settings, such as stress management, pain management, sleep therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation and mindfulness therapy, physical therapy, and Reiki and massage therapy, to help individuals reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve well-being.
Can I simply use any music in my therapy practice?
As a mental health professional, you don’t need a specific music license to use music in your therapy practice.
However, you would need to comply with copyright and intellectual property laws, which would typically require you to obtain permission from the copyright owner or pay a fee to use the music in a therapeutic setting.
In certain cases it also helps to use music that was created specifically for music therapy.
All our music is available with lifetime royalty free license and can be legally used for business purposes.
Professional therapists work with clients to find the type of music that best supports their goals and helps them feel relaxed. That’s why we recommend choosing the unlimited membership option that grants you download access to our entire music and sounds catalog.
