Unwind and find solace in the power of music, grounded in psychology. Created and presented by registered psychologist (and musician), Greta Bradman, Mindful Music's wellbeing content and thoughtfully chosen repertoire fosters a mindful atmosphere for relaxation and introspection.
In this episode you are dropping into the present moment, with the music of Ludovico Einaudi. A moment to unhook and “be here, now”.
Visualise with the music.
From golden butterflies to damp earth and the moon above, this episode offers you time to notice how the concepts we hold - how understanding a piece of music is called “full moon” for instance - impacts not only how we make sense of the music but the very emotions these concepts construct and elicit in us. Grounded in Relational Frame Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and informed by neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett’s groundbreaking research culminating in the theory of constructed emotion, this is an episode with Einaudi to enliven the senses.
Practising mindful listening
An undercurrent of an appreciation of the mind as comprising a thinking self and an observing self. Permission to non-judgementally ‘notice’ when your mind wanders, and an invitation to gently guide your attention back to where you intend it to be - with the music.
