Calming classical music to help you focus and set you up for the day ahead. Presented by broadcaster, author and counselling psychologist Dr Sian Williams. Featuring uplifting, thoughtful music from Robert Schumann, Margaret Bonds, and Francis Poulenc. Sian encourages a moment of focus with a reflective piano piece by Canadian composer Stephan Moccio, and pauses to Take a Breath while out on a forest walk to reconnect with nature and prepare herself for the stresses of the day. Plus, Professor Catherine Loveday looks into a fascinating study which suggests that listening to classical music could have a positive impact on the bacteria in our bodies which is so important for our health.
