WHAT MUSIC SHOULD BE LISTENED TO AT HOME IN THE MORNING?

INTRODUCTION: Music that Awakens the Morning

The early morning hours are a sacred time when the human body, mind, and soul prepare for a new day. The body is freshly awakened, the mind still echoes with unprocessed memories, and the soul craves the right tones. And those tones often find their form in music.

Morning music can either inspire or burden the soul with melancholy. That’s why the music played at home in the morning is not just a collection of sounds—it’s the energy your family uses to start the day.

I. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECT OF MUSIC: VIBRATIONS OF THE SOUL

Music regulates brainwaves. In the morning, alpha waves are most dominant, and music can help soften the conscious mind’s resistance, making one more open to emotional connection.

• Classical music (especially from the Baroque period) enhances concentration in the early hours.

• Sounds of nature (rain, birds, water flow) activate the brain’s natural rhythm centers.

• Soft instrumental melodies reduce morning stress hormones like cortisol.
