Music and the Nervous System

From Stress to Serenity Through Sound

The autonomic nervous system governs functions like heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Stress often activates the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” mode, while calming sounds can trigger the parasympathetic “rest-and-digest” response.

 

Scientific findings:

  • Soothing music reduces cortisol (the stress hormone).
  • Relaxed tempos (60–80 BPM) lower blood pressure and heart rate.
  • Calming frequencies help regulate breathing patterns.


 

Application in MyReset:

By layering frequencies within rich musical landscapes, MyReset helps users downshift into parasympathetic dominance. This shift brings a sense of calm, reduces anxiety, and restores inner balance - critical for overall wellness.

 

How to FEEL MyReset Soundscapes

Feeling the sound

People often feel sound in their bodies through the MyReset Soundscapes. Every person is unique, so your experience will vary - and your body adapts to the music in real time, depending on what you need.

Do you like it, and what do you feel?

FIRST USE: Listen to each track for 10–30 seconds and note your response:
1. I love it 2. I’m neutral 3. I dislike it OR Download your "Feel the Music Test" 

Note where you feel the sound in your body - this area is responding and adjusting to restore balance.

What it means

Love it - You’re close in resonance; continue listening to deepen balance.
Neutral - You’re balanced in this area.
Dislike - This Soundscape is what you most need; either listen immediately, or start with preferred tracks, and return later for a deeper reset when more comfortable.
