THE BMC THERAPY ROOM

In this virtual room, you will relax and reduce your stress using Slow Breathing, Music and Colors therapies at the same time so the benefit of the three therapies are added together.

FIRST THERAPY: SLOW BREATHING

Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. The brain then sends this message to your body. Those things that happen when you are stressed, such as increased heart rate, fast breathing, and high blood pressure, all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax.

However, not all breaths are created equal. A great, simple breathing exercise for calming both the nervous system and the overworked mind is a timed breath where the exhale is longer than the inhale. When your exhale is even a few counts longer than your inhale, the vagus nerve sends a signal to your brain to turn up your parasympathetic nervous system and turn down your sympathetic nervous system.

The BMC-RelaxationCenter therapy room is a web page that drives you to the best breathing pattern and rate to reduce your stress. It guides you to use the appropriate breathing pattern in a very simple and intuitive way, so you can really relax and obtain the maximum benefit from the therapy.

In addition of reducing your stress level, the BMC therapy will also reduce your blood pressure.   This because the slow breathing pattern used to reduce your stress level is close to the pattern that reduces high blood pressure. Because of this, if you suffer of low blood pressure, you should talk with your doctor before using the therapy room.

SECOND THERAPY: MUSIC

The soothing power of music is well-established. It has a unique link to our emotions, so can be an extremely effective stress management tool.

Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet classical music.   This type of music can have a beneficial effect on our physiological functions, slowing the pulse and heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and decreasing the levels of stress hormones.

Music has been used for thousands of years to treat illnesses and restore harmony between mind and body. Plato, Hippocrates, Aristotle are among the first scientists that are known to have studied and applied music therapy.   Recently, scientific studies have attempted to measure the potential benefits of music. Following are some of the results:

• Listening to music reduces stress and anxiety in hospital patients before and after surgery.
• Listening to music can relieve depression in elderly people.
• Music listening may have a beneficial effect on blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, anxiety, and pain”.
• music can increase a patient's motivation and positive emotions.
• Music therapy significantly reduces emotional distress and boosts quality of life among adult cancer patients.
• music therapy used in conjunction with other therapies improves success rates significantly.
