misic helps in treating many people with problems like dementia, dyslexia and trauma.
children with learning disability and poor coordination have been able to learn respond to set pieces of music.
The brain reacts to the music by releasing certain endorphins, which are natural opiates and palliatives of the body.
To be effective in healing, music should have the following characteristics:
Pulse:
At or below heart rate (72 per minute) for calming or reducing tension.
Rhythm:
Smooth and flowing at all times for integrating internal body rhythms and energy flows.
Melody:
Slow and sustained for meditational purposes; pitch sequences primarily by step at pulse rate or slightly faster for energizing.
Duration:
Minimum 15 minutes of steady music; 20-45 minutes is optimum.
Tone quality:
Generally the softer quality instrument like the flute and organ.
Resonance:
Should be sustained for 4 to 8 seconds for calming.
