I enjoyed reading this article. It is incredible to me how music can change my mood instantaneously. I enjoy listening to instrumental music while practicing mindfulness. The melodious sound of the instruments engender imagery in my imagination and I end up daydreaming or thinking about past experiences. With lyrics or without, music certainly influences how we feel and what we think.
