Art can induce a calm state of mind

In her article How to Use Music and Art as a Relaxation Technique Meditation, Susan Masters writes:

“The power of art induces a calm state of mind… any beautiful object, be it a flower, a painting, a piece of music, a movie or a well-written book, help us let go all the negative thoughts and the daily preoccupations.

“Music and art have the strongest capacity to lead us to a meditating path, to produce that state in which we forget about all of our anxieties, worries, problems..”
