Brief Answer:
Through modulation of attention, emotion, cognition, behavior, etc.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your question.
There are studies suggesting that music therapy and meditation can be an effective nursing intervention in stressful situations for decreasing anxiety, blood pressure, and heart rate.
Clinical research findings show that music and meditation may facilitate a reduction in the stress response, decreased anxiety levels, decreased blood pressure and heart rate, and changes in plasma stress hormone levels.
The proposed mechanisms of action include the modulation of attention, emotion, cognition, behavior, and communication, all these activities of the brain.
There are a number of patients or people suffering from problems such as hypertension/cardiovascular disease, migraine headaches, and gastrointestinal ulcers, mental disorders, after surgeries, etc. that may benefit from such therapies.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
I would explain as follows.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.
Studies have shown increased activity in the areas of the brain including anterior cingulate cortex, frontal cortex, and prefrontal cortex during meditation.
While during music therapy frontotemporal areas are seen to manifest heightened activity.
These areas are responsible for the procession of speech and music.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you have further questions.
