    Music therapy

    I just wanted to post this article someone shared with me. It's about music therapy, which is available all over the place around here. There are a few different programs I have heard good things about.

    Music To The Mind - Activating Human Potential
    SAS-Logo-8 Steven Michaëlis

    Music has been around for a long time. A simple flute made from bone was used by Neanderthal man more than 40,000 years ago and clay tablets found in Syria depict the score of 4,000 year old songs. But we do not have to go back that far for evidence that music is an integral part of the human experience. A foetus in the mothers womb will start to react to sounds at just 16 weeks and in a clinical experiment Brahms Lullaby being played to premature babies six times a day for just five minutes each time resulted in faster weight gain. Babies start to sway and rock to music long before they can walk or talk and much language is learned through nursery rhymes and songs. Adults spend billions on pre-recorded and live music because it makes them feel better.

    So what is it that makes music so special? We listen to music using our two ears and the signal received by our ears is send to the brain for processing. To be able to filter, comprehend and use this information the brain needs to organise all the incoming data. It will look for patterns and similarities and it will try to match these to previous experiences stored in memory. Fortunately almost all music is highly structured and organised, with only small, often predictable, variations providing the tune or melody. Music thus provides pre-organised information to the brain, which is very easily assimilated and processed. The rhythm and beats within music often mimic our breathing and heart rate. Thus music with a slow rhythm can relax us, while disc jockeys in clubs make use of the beats-per-minute to whip the audience on the dance floor into an ever-increasing frenzy.

    Music is food for the brain and it can influence how we feel, learn and develop in extraordinary ways. Rather than using it randomly when we have some spare time or just feel like it, it can be used in a much more directed and purposeful way to improve emotional well-being, speed up learning or help overcome developmental difficulties.


    Music for emotional well-being.

    Many of us use music to create or alter our mood or emotional state. Loud and rapid music can instil energy and drive, while soft and slow music can relax us and help us to fall asleep. But there is much more to music than just that. Recent brain imaging tests by a Canadian research group have shown that when we listen to emotionally powerful music the brain releases dopamine in the reward centres of the brain, which provides us with feelings of enjoyment and motivation. More remarkably, just thinking about that music will start the release of these 'happy' neurotransmitters in the brain.

    TIP: Notice which music has an emotional impact on you and at least once a week create a special time to listen to it and let your emotions flow freely. Make sure it is your special time without interruptions. It may help to buy a pair of headphones to experience the music even more. Then, at any time when you feel stressed or under pressure, simply think back to your music and you'll create your own natural and drug free rescue remedy.

    Music for better learning.

    That music helps learning has been known for centuries and it is no coincidence that almost all religions all over the world use music in their ceremonies, as it aids memory and recall. Georgi Lozanov, a Bulgarian psychologist, developed a new learning and teaching method, Suggestopedia, in the 1960's which makes much use of barok music for relaxation and so-called 'concert readings'. Often used for foreign language learning, the method was examined and proven to be effective by UNESCO in the 1970's. Dr. Alfred Tomatis, a French otolaryngologist, described in a book published in 1991 how certain pieces of Mozart music promote the development of the brain. The results of a scientific investigation into the 'Mozart Effect' were published in Nature in 1993, showing that listening to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major temporarily increased IQ scores by 8 to 9 points in specific spatial-temporal tasks.

    TIP: Listening to music before or during study periods may help to memorise information and simply thinking of that same music will help with recall during exams. Try barok or music by Mozart, but allow teenagers to choose their own favourite music.

    Music to overcome developmental difficulties.

    The same Dr. Tomatis who discovered the Mozart Effect, is also recognised as the modern day originator of sound therapy. In the early 1950's he developed an effective therapy method using altered music to treat conditions such as auditory processing disorder, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder and autism. Another French doctor, Dr. Guy Bérard, developed a similar method, Auditory Integration Training (AIT), which has found many followers in the USA. A study at the University of Illinois found significant decreases in epileptiform activity in 23 of 29 patients with epilepsy after listening for just 5 minutes to that same Mozart music.

    TIP: Check out the free home programme available from Sensory Activation Solutions. There is no catch, it's absolutely free and, most importantly, often very effective. Check it out at SASCentre.com.

    Music is the free medicine of the mind - enjoy it whenever you can and use it creatively to improve your emotional well-being, to learn better or to help your child overcome developmental difficulties.

    Im pretty sure I typed -preventative health care "system". Diet and exercise is an independente effort.

    Insurance is a fraud. If you want to take a class or join a gym, get an activity related job (exercise) and pay the costs to the business owner instead of feeding the insurance pigs. This will save you money to put toward healthy foods.

    Insurance is tied to government. When a govt is allowed to mandate anything, that means they control you. Why live under authoritarian control when you are perfectly capable of controlling yourself?

    When people have control of themselves, that means they wont allow a government to control them.

    I disagree. I think health care should be there as a security net. I do not think people should be forced into getting it though.

    Unfortunately we have a mess and it needs to be fixed.

    I just thought i'd throw this historical or herstorical fact. Many of the women sought after during the days of hunting witches, where midwives. Why you may ask? Because doctors were rich and powerful. Talk about ways of using govt or in this case churches in controlling health care.

    I listened to a radio talk show last night where they made an interesting connection. The elite controllers of the past used to use torcher, genocide, and other means of brutality to secure power. Over the centuries they got smarter. They said, "instead of using chains of steel, use chains of gold". Give the population what they want like abundance, convenience, and fantasy, and the people wont pay attention to how they are really being controlled.

    Religion and politics are the same. Most Americans are just dumbed down dependents in love with their own enslavement, the same way the "flat earth people" were and maybe worse.

    Garlic, onions, and radishes consumed as a regular part of your diet will prevent you from getting the flu virus. Or if you forget or dont consume enough and a flu happens to take route, take Echinecea and it will quickly go away.

    The government doesnt want you to know this so try it and pass it forward as much as possible!

    Interesting dialog.

    In my opinion only, I think the government has already too much control. With the healthcare system about to be the next thing on the list of "government control", it is important for the people to be educated and brought up to speed on what this means for everyone. Unfortunately, we are complacent. This applies to politics as well. We encourage people to vote, but do they? They feel their vote makes no difference. Wrong, but what do I know.

    The point is, we do have a healthcare crisis on our hands. What is the answer? I think it is inevitable that some socialistic healthcare reform is apparent. Isn't social security & medicare a social program?

    Oh, Happy New Year, it is simply around the corner sylyan.

    The elite controllers [bilderbergs, corporate entities, and others] use the puppets [presidents, congress, governors, mayors, doctors, sheriffs, RELIGION!!!, media, and so on...] to sway a so-called election in any dirrection they choose to benefit their agenda (full control and enslavement). Voting only contributes to the to their reasurance of their scam, and teaches them more clever tricks in the future.

    SS and medicare are nothing but "welfare". Welfare promotes dependance. A dependent population is an enslaved population and that keeps the elite controllers in power.

    thread topic Sensory Disorders. Sorry Demesticatedfemale. We got side tracked to politics and such.

    Back to sensory, it is more often seen in children than we realize. We need to pay attention to what bothers our children and try to address it the best we can ~~barring using meds as last resort.

    Not really off topic at all. Sensory disorders can be prevented and reversed if people would seek natural alternatives instead of believing in conventional medicine and the scam artists who control it.
