Music Therapy

July 22, 2008

People are moving away from allopathic treatment and exploring other forms of safe and effective therapies like homeopathy, ayurveda, laughter therapy, Acupuncture and many others. It is in this field that music therapy has gained prominence which aims at healing through the soothing and effective power of music. Music is a universal mode of communication which affects all levels of human existence along with producing a pleasant and a healing experience. Music has been used since ancient ages for its miraculous healing effects and it is that form of a holistic science which promotes a happy and a healthy lifestyle.

Music therapy is particularly effective for those people who have problematic behavior as it helps such people to make effective adjustments towards social, emotional, mental and educational aspects. Many of the imbalances of the brain or nervous system are found to be corrected by exposure to certain ragas. According to research, healing through music can be brought about by bringing about positive vibrations in the body which in turn can help in effectively promoting health and happiness.

Music therapy
works at two levels- the passive level with its emphasis on listening and the active level which emphasizes on participating. While passive form of music therapy can be beneficial to almost all forms of ailments, the active form is designed specifically for those people who are suffering from neurological disorders and has been found useful in treating speech related disorders of children. This is because music helps in stimulating the pituitary gland whose secretions affect the nervous system and also leads to an improved flow of blood. Similarly, if one is aiming to increase one’s concentration and memory, one can go in for passive form of music therapy which helps in reducing the stress and strain of body along with treating problems like hypertension. Music basically aims at bringing about a peaceful environment to refresh and rejuvenate a person along with aiding in the holistic healing process of a person.
