How does beauty impact the human mind? The mind relaxes with pleasant sensations and becomes agitated with disturbing ones. This is true for animals as well. A pleasing sound will put you at rest, while loud, jarring noises will disturb your peace. These are obvious truths. We just don’t take them to their logical conclusion. Beauty pleases us. Harmony pleases us. Discord, agitation, disharmony, and ugliness disturb us. If the nervous system is at peace, all the organs in the body work better. If the nervous system is agitated, you get into a fight-or-flight mode which, over a long term, wears down the resilience and plasticity of the body.
