LISTEN: This week's anti-anxiety relaxation playlist

Every Wednesday, we here at Mind Your Ceann bring you the very best music for helping with relaxation. We search hundreds of playlists and select only the ones we think work best--the cream of the crop.

This week's playlist is a mix by new-age composer Dean Evenson, about an hour's worth of stirring world music. Dean is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist with a penchant for creating vivid soundscapes combining woodwinds, other instruments and the sounds of nature. His music is often used for meditative purposes, as well as yoga and massage. This is certainly not one to be missed, especially if you're feeling tensed up at the mid-point of the week.

Remember, studies have shown that certain kinds of music are great for boosting positive mental health and helping with anxiety. Earlier this year, The Irish Times reported that music may be better than drugs at calming pre-op patients.

So kick back, hit play and relax. And don't forget to share with a friend if you think may need it!
