Can Music heal?

[Alwaysknows]

Interesting concept that I was reading about in The Mozart Effect, it makes sense.

 

[msd]

Absolutely....

Music, notes,frequency all are or can be healing for the body, its organs, the mind and spirit. Have you seen the work by Hans Jenny -Cymatics? HIs work is mind blowing,have a look at the web site http://www.cymaticsource.com. How often does music make us feel good, uplifted, or even sad??? Where woud the film industry be without sound to add to the tense moments?

The book was interesting. According to that book, it was very specific about what you listened to, rather than just "if it's happy music, you'll feel happy". And the author seemed very keen on Mozart's work, which sounds like it was based on scientific research, rather than personal choice.

I have to say YES it does I love all kinds of music, and put on whats rite for my mood or what is needed to be put on to create a certain mood. So is that not heeling, and theraputic

Oh sorry, what I meant was the book was very specific about music helping in more profound ways than expected. There was a lot of emphasis that Mozart's concertos were very good at healing, as opposed to just listening to general feel good music such as new age. I borrowed it from the library so cannot quote any cases... jbarry can you summarise some of the findings for us?

http://www.mozarteffect.com/ might have something of interest.

Hi,
About 9/10 years ago before I started my spiritual path I attended an National Federation of Spiritual Healers Conference in Cirencester, (this was before I found Reiki).
One of the workshops was about music and healing and it was held in the chapel of the college where the conference was being held. I can't now remember the name of the man who took it but he played the piano and got us to close our eyes and visualize what the music he was playing meant to us. This was a wonderful experience so when he gave his talk one evening I went. He told us of a friend of his who was a doctor who specialized in eye problems. The speaker had written some music that he had been told had been having some positive effects on people. He gave a tape of this music to his Dr friend.
Then he heard the news about the chemical leak at Bopal and how the local population were suffering with eye related injuries. His friend flew out there as part of the medical team to offer aid and when he was packing his case he felt impelled to throw in his friend's tape.
Apparently they had taken enough aneasthetic to do 100 operations but when they arrived they saw how serious the problem was and the aneasthetic they had soon ran out but there were still so many children needing surgery on their eyes. The Dr then remembered the tape in his case and he convinced his colleagues to play it to those still needing operations. To the amazement of every one there the children became semi-hypnotic and the surgeons were able to carry out the ops with less anaesthetic!!. A true miracle of music being able to heal don't you think!

Love and light

That's an amazing story! Wonder what the music was that he had on that tape...

Of course music heals- its sound vibration and the different frequencies have different affects on the individual chemicals in body/mind etc.
Mozart obviously chose frequencies of sound which resonated a healing effect!x

i totally agree , and thanks for bringing up the thread again cherish
i am writing my own music and have spent a lot of time working on these vibrations and such . i have specifically chosen instruments that i feel touch my soul , i think sound has some amazing qualities but because we cant see them sometimes they get overlooked

my friend, who is a kinesiologist, uses music a lot in healing, she says that it resonates through the bones. she asks the body what music it needs and then just places a tape player against yr stomach, you don't actualy need to hear the music at all, it's the vibrations apparently.

 

[Lewellelos]

Exactly- Vibrations, thats what its all about. ANd thats why some songs touch some peopel in certain ways and others in other ways. Because remember we all have different vibe frequencies which will alter the resonance of other vibes around us.xxxx it all makes sense really when you think about it in terms of energyxxx

I also agree!. Recently I was at a healing festival down in Somerset and one of the days I was sitting outside in the Sun having a cup of tea with my friends. Then, above all the noise of laughter, workshops going on etc I could here the most beautiful music floating on the air. It was so beautiful it made me get up and track down where it was coming from!. In one of the marquees there was a young man playing a CD of his music and I asked him what was it called. He showed me the CD on his table and I said "I'll buy it please". He looked at me in amazement and asked did I not want to hear any of the other tracks in case I didn't like them! I said no because his music had called to me and I was happy to buy without listening. I then saw another CD and asked if I could listen to the first track which he kindly did. Within seconds I was moved to tears and couldn't risk listenening to any more for fear of making a fool of myself in public so bought that one too!. Now I have played the second one to friends and although they think it is lovely it's only me that vibrates with it so much it makes me cry every time lol.
(My husband thinks I am mad buying CD's without listening to each track!)

Love and light

Yes, I believe it does.

Whenever I need a certain "uplift" I like to spin a Queen (I'm a big fan ) disc in my portable Panasonic.
