Why is singing so good for us?
Did you know that singing has just as many well-being benefits as laughter therapy?
Singing has been shown to provide oodles of benefits for both physical and mental health.
Which is why it’s an essential juicy joy ingredient in our Joyworks for Self-Compassionate online programme.
Whether you’re an uplifter who’s coming through change, dealing with loss or overcoming illness our programme will uplift , nurture and inspire.
Here’s six science-backed benefits of singing you’ll experience ……
1. Improved lung function: Singing requires controlled breathing, which helps to strengthen the lungs and increase their capacity.
Regular singing can help to improve respiratory function and reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses.
2. Boosted immune system: Singing has been shown to increase the production of antibodies and immune cells, which can help to strengthen the immune system and improve overall health.
Just like laughter – infact in one piece of research immune system was boosted by a whopping 40%
2. Reduced stress and anxiety: Singing has been found to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increase levels of the “feel-good” hormone oxytocin.
This can help to reduc
e feelings of stress and anxiety and promote feelings of relaxation and well-being.
3. Improved mood: Singing has also been shown to increase levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This can help to boost mood and promote feelings of happiness and satisfaction.
5. Not forgetting the beautiful other worldly feeling that comes from soothing our souls with song!
7. Feeling that sense of belonging – when we are going through our ‘stuff’ we can feel lost.
We can feel isolated.
Join us and feel how incredible that sense of connection is for our hearts and minds feel the immense positive impact on mental health and well-being.
8. Improved cognitive function: Singing requires the use of multiple brain regions and cognitive processes, such as memory, attention, and language.
Regular singing has been shown to improve cognitive function – excellent for those of us experiencing brain fog.
We are so excited to be singing songs from the Divas with Polly our professional singer. This is one of my favourites – when we care less about ‘out there’ and more about our inner world we are so much happier.
