Music Therepy

[Srinivasan MS]

Music Therepy

This  is a current craze in the  western countries.

Music therapy is offered by a group of established healthcare professionals who use music in order to promote healing and enhance quality of life. Music therapy may be used to encourage emotional expression, promote social interaction, relieve symptoms, and for other purposes. Music therapists may use active or passive methods with patients, depending on the patients' needs and abilities

There is some evidence that when used along with conventional treatment, music therapy can help to reduce pain and relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It may also relieve stress and provide an overall sense of well being. Some studies have found that music therapy can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate

There is evidence that music therapy can reduce high blood pressure, rapid heart beat, depression, and sleeplessness. There are no claims music therapy can cure cancer or other diseases, but medical experts do believe it can reduce some symptoms, aid healing, improve physical movement, and enrich a patient's quality of life.

 

Some aspects of music therapy include making music, listening to music, writing songs, and talking about lyrics. It may also involve imagery and learning through music. Music therapy can be done in different places such as hospitals, cancer centers, hospices, at home, or anywhere people can benefit from its calming or stimulating effects. The patient does not need to have any musical ability to benefit from music therapy.

Music has been used in medicine for thousands of years. Ancient Greek philosophers believed that music could heal both the body and the soul.

 

You've heard... "music hath charms to soothe the savage beast." This aspect of music is the underlying base for music therapy. Used in medicine and education, music has been found to enhance the body's ability to heal, physically and emotionally, and to integrate new information.

 

Using music in therapy can be a very powerful way to reach children, adolescents, and adults in the therapeutic setting. Music in therapy can be a powerful way to help people express their feelings. Creative therapy can reach people in ways that traditional therapy sometimes cannot  People don't realize how much effect music has on them. Music can improve your quality of life through daily mental, physical and speech functions ,

Brain Waves: Research has shown that music with a strong beat can stimulate brainwaves to resonate in sync with the beat, with faster beats bringing sharper concentration and more alert thinking, and a slower tempo promoting a calm, meditative state

 

Anything done by the western countries we praise it to the hilt. But how many of us know that it was imbibed in our culture. Right from the morning we get up our every action is covered by music in the form of ragas/ mantras.   We are firm believer that the sound waves in different format can revitalize us and cure/ prevent many deceases.

Each Raga or Ragini is associated with a definite mood or sentiment that nature arouses in human beings. The ancient musicologists were particularly interested in the effects of musical notes, how it effected and enhanced human behavior. Music had the power to cure, to make you feel happy, sad, disgusted and so on. Extensive research was carried out to find out these effects.

Every season is associated with a raga vizVarsha (Raga Megha and Raga Malhar, Basant (Raga Basant, Vasanta Ritu (Spring Season, Grishma Ritu (Summer Season).

Bhiravi in the morning,bhoopali/ yaman kalyani  in the evening, darbari in the night, it is said tansen sung raag deepak to light the night lamps.

 In nut shell various forms of music we inadvertently had. devised some raga for everything good or bad in life, which the western country is popularizing as invention of music therapy.
