 Carnatic Classical Music effectively controls anxiety, Stress and illness.

 
Carnatic Classical Music keeps us calm and content. This form of music aids us to get rid of modern day ailments like stress. But remember, this is just a tool. Like Yoga, for which mindfulness is required to get the desired result,  we need to feel the music from inside to get the maximum advantage.
 
Everyday, pick different ragams, find a song and sing it. It is as simple as that. Choose a quiet place. Posture is important. I prefer Puja room lighting a diya, which will aid concentration.
 
Start with arohanam and avarohanam. Be in the ragam for some time. Pick a catchy line –say tundu pallavi or anupallavi or charanam and try-out variations. The variations shall include all range- bottom to top, and then to bottom, to complete the cycle. The music completely represent the state of mind, frequencies and vibrations.
 
This will aid in calming down the mind to get rid of anger or anxiety. After this exercise, the effect will last for 24 hours or so.
 
The music controls negative emotions too. Every ragam emulates multiple emotions even within the span of a single line range. This will aid in changing the state of mind from anxious to calm.
