Relax, Heal, and Act: Use 'Weightless' to Find Calm Amidst the Chaos
Dear Friends and Supporters,
I want to share something that might bring a sense of calm during these turbulent times. A song called Weightless, created by Marconi Union in collaboration with researchers, has been shown to reduce anxiety by up to 65%. In a study, listeners experienced slower heart rates, lower blood pressure, and a reduction in stress while listening to the track. The song’s calming effect is due to its slow tempo, brainwave alignment, and soothing natural sounds.
While music’s impact can vary from person to person, early research suggests that Weightless offers a non-medical, side-effect-free way to ease anxiety. It’s a simple, accessible tool to find calm when stress seems overwhelming — something we could all use right now.
I’m sharing the song with you here in hopes that it may offer some peace:
Additionally, I want to acknowledge the feelings of despair that many are experiencing. It’s natural to feel this way in difficult times, but I believe that each of us can make a difference, no matter how small. Together, we can support one another and take steps to create positive change.
Below are a few calls to action that I encourage you to consider. Together, we have the power to make a meaningful impact.
Warmest regards,
Mary Dove, LCSW
