"If music be the food of love, play on...!" was a mode to reduce stress, help with pain, and deepen sleep. In both African and Native American ancient cultures, music, singing and chanting were integral in the healing processes and rituals. In today's modern, Western medicine, the effects of music in the healing process are being studied and utilized across many disciplines, including those related to the heart. Since 1980, there have been a number of studies on how music affects the heart. Here are a few, quoted from a Harvard Heart Publishing Journal:
Studies are ongoing, but music always does the heart good! Listen.
removing the toxins and carbon dioxide that builds up in those same tissues and cells. The heart is made up of four chambers - right atria, left atria, right ventricle, left ventricle. The atria are the upper chambers and the ventricles are the lower chambers. The left and right sides of the heart are divided by a wall of muscle. The right chambers and left chambers work together as the right heart and left heart. The heart pumps blood through two systems - the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. Deoxygenated blood gets pumped through the right ventricle going to the lungs where it is oxygenated. It returns to the heart via the left atrium. This is the pulmonary circuit. From the left atrium, the oxygenated blood leaves the heart through the left ventricle and is pumped out into the body supplying oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing toxins and carbon dioxide buildup. It returns to the heart through the right ventricle. This is the systemic circuit. The right side works with the deoxygenated blood and the oxygenated blood is handled by the left side of the heart.

Now before you start to worry about how you will navigate to the new place, we are only moving downstairs. We will still be at 251 Main St. in Old Saybrook, but now in Suite 101. The great news with this - fewer stairs! Come visit us on the 1st floor in our regular building. Here’s our full address: 251 Main St, Suite 201, Old Saybrook CT 06475 low as positive single digits, but it is still cold. We are in the midst of winter. Cold temperatures come with the season. To that end, we need to be diligent in our preparations - ie. winter maintenance on our cars, emergency kits in our cars with shovels, flashlights, food, batteries, water, first aid items, blankets etc. We need to be vigilant in dressing warmly and appropriately for the colder temperatures and take proper precautions in making sure our walkways are clear of ice, snow, and slippery conditions. Winter is a beautiful season - who doesn’t love a gentle snowfall, a roaring fire and a cup of hot cocoa - but we need to accord it proper respect. Stay warm and safe! ~ Golden Horizons Office Team Mr. W's Inspirational Quotes“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage Cultural Tidbit: Is there anyone in the world who hasn’t heard the name Winston Churchill? ...Yes, technically speaking, there are many in the world who haven’t heard his name and who don’t actually know who he is, but the sentiment remains. Winston Churchill was a British writer, politician and officer in the army. His greatest role was as Prime Minister of Great Britain during WWII. He lead that nation through some of her darkest days; from when they stood alone against the Third Reich to the complete Allied victory. His leadership and iron will helped Britain navigate the pre-, during, and post-war worlds and his efforts echo through the halls of history today.
