When it hits you,
you feel no pain.
The use of music in healing goes back as far as Plato and Aristotle. It's use in our more "scientific" era goes back, at least, a couple hundred years.
More and more, the medical community is beginning to explore the power of music...to ease emotional problems, to lessen anxiety in dementia patients, to reduce chronic pain.
It's everywhere:
- Persons in Correctional & Forensic Settings
- Response to Crisis & Trauma
- Alzheimer's Disease
- Young Children
- Mental Health
- Music Education
- Medicine
- Special Education
- Individuals with Diagnoses on the Autism Spectrum
- Pain Management
- Increase circulation, helps regulate blood pressure.
There seems, no end these days, to the positive benefits of music. In some cases, medical science is beginning to understand how it works. In other instances they don't have a clue...but the results are statistically significant and the results uncontroversial.
So add some music to your daily essentials: eat right, sleep well, exercise....and listen to your music.
I'll see you next week.
