Did you know that Bach was using music to help people relax and shift consciousness into the appropriate brainwave states for sound sleep?

Bach was hired by the Russian envoy Count Kaiserling to write music that would help his insomnia. Bach composed what is known as the Goldberg Variations, named after Kaiserling's harpsichordist, Johann Gottleib Goldberg. Years later it was proven that largo musical movements (very slow movements) increase alpha activity in the brain.

Alpha brain waves bring a relaxed state of awareness to the body/mind. Alpha brainwaves states are very important, for if someone cannot bring their body/mind to an alpha state, they cannot get to the deeper and slower brain wave levels in the body/mind where rest and rejuvenation can occur.
