The Power of Trance Music
Hannah Trigwell
Pure Energy Music commissions new Trance Album — expertly curated for Mind Body sessions.
Research suggests that trance music can induce a euphoric, meditative state by engaging the temporal lobe, hippocampus, and amygdala. Its repetitive rhythms and melodic patterns promote altered states of consciousness, enhancing focus, relaxation, and emotional connection (Jäncke, 2008; Koelsch, 2010).
Enter Euphoric Chill — a Chill Trance album designed to uplift and inspire instructors and participants — streaming now on the Pure Energy Music app.
“In exercise and concentration, trance music is particularly effective. It creates a calming atmosphere in some sections while elevating emotional energy in others, helping individuals connect deeply with movement and emotions.”
Nikkie Riozzi — Label Manager @ Pure Energy Music
Studies show that music stimulates the brain’s attention systems, improving alertness and sustained performance (Hanna-Pladdy & Mackay, 2011). Furthermore, its activation of the hippocampus and amygdala enhances emotional responses and memory formation, contributing to a more immersive workout experience (Harvard Medicine Magazine, 2022).
How This Album Was Made
“When we commission music, we start with the end in mind — whether it’s a yoga mat, a cycling class, or a fitness race. Fitness professionals guide our process, helping us define the purpose and provide musical reference points for our musicians, producers, and vocalists. That’s what sets Pure Energy Music apart — we create music specifically for movement because we live it ourselves.
That said, every track we produce must also stand alone as music you’d want to hear on the radio or stream on Spotify. This album is a perfect example — an incredible collaboration across our entire team.”
Andy Pickles — CEO @ Pure Energy Music
Affirmations Woven into Music
This album integrates powerful affirmations into its lyrics, designed to uplift both instructors and participants. Some of these messages include:
- “Now I know that I’m enough, I feel peace, I found love for myself.”
- “Take me as I am, I feel a new day is dawning.”
- “There’s a change in me, I’m starting to believe in second chances. I’ve found my inner peace. There’s no more fear in me.”
Music has the ability to reinforce self-worth, grounding and inspiring listeners. With mental health awareness more important than ever, even a single track can provide meaningful support. Fitness instructors shape the energy of a class — this album is designed to enhance that impact.
Testing the Experience
“Our Pure Energy Music fitness pros have taught multiple classes with this mix, receiving a consistently positive response. Participants — especially those new to group training — often start out hesitant and self-conscious. Yet within 15 minutes, movements become more confident, energy rises, and they fully engage.
With Fluid Moves-style workouts, the transformation takes a different form. Those who begin with doubt often experience a breakthrough, discovering new capabilities in their bodies. This release of tension boosts self-esteem and fosters a sense of freedom.”
