I would like to tell a story...

Music has a magical power. And this relates to all genres.

I am much into classical music and there is incredible stuff in there to listen to to get relief for different causes. I think this has to do with the fact that the greatest composers just expressed their own feelings so accurately in music that it re-vibrates in us. And because many of them composed pieces to relief their own anger, anxiety, depression and soothing desires it helps a lot to overcome our own negative feelings. If you search you will find more things you will like.

 

I would say so. Jazz pieces usually don't have the length of classical pieces where you literally can soak your mind in the music. In extreme cases up to 1.5 hours as in one act of a Wagner opera.

Let me see, some of the piano improvisations of Keith Jarret have for my taste a character where you can loose your mind in the music. Then to have feelings of pure happiness I think Stephane Grapelli is just unbeatable. For the darker sides of emotions I would think Miles Davis is just great. But in the end just listen and see where your emotions go when listening to it. Today with YouTube you have access to millions of pieces with no need trying to decide which CD you buy before listening to it.

 

Just a Comment on the Music-PMO relation. Yesterday night I actually "felt" the music after a long time. I keep listening to music on the radio or from my playlist, but its always been a background noise. But after i think months i felt an emotion attached to the music... And i think this somewhat due to the effort of NoFap and not being so numb all the time. Was a real feel good factor. its like remembering an emotion which you had once forgotten. And this emotion in turn is spurring me on to keep my streak going. Thats a kind of cycle id like to be in!
