\u201cMusic can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch.\u201d

Who does not love music?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From calming to rock , to jazz to classical \u2026 music has been around for thousands of years , it is part of our culture, our heritage and our history, it makes us sad and makes us happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides connecting us together,\u00a0 helping us to dance & move \u2013 and making us feel good,\u00a0music can also heal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past couple of years, researchers have been extensively exploring how music is therapeutic \u2013 when used alongside traditional medicine \u2013 how it can have positive affects in the healing process ( from reducing the side effects of cancer to aiding in pain during operations) ; including showing positive & stabilizing\u00a0affects in premature infants \u2013 as well as\u00a0aiding people with depression & anxiety ; and even Parkinson\u2019s disease. Music Therapy has also also been found to improve our memory and learning , reduce the feeling & discomfort of pain and even improve our moods and state of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music is ancient.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But how ancient? The oldest music instrument found in the world was a Neanderthal flute \u2013 aged at about 60,000-yeas old. \u00a0It was discovered in Divje babe cave near Cerkno and has been declared by experts to have been made by Neanderthals.1<\/sup> Imagine having been alive to hear that flute play ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music connects us<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Listening to music benefits us individually and collectively. Researchers think one of the most important functions of music is to create a feeling of cohesion or social connectedness2<\/sup>. Bringing humans together as part of a whole, such \u2013 think of a national anthem or music concert\u2026 it unites people together when we have the same interests and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music and Memory<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Researchers from the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development3<\/sup> have found that music increases memory and retention as well as maximises learning capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our brains trigger particular emotions, memories and thoughts- when we listen to music-which often leads to more positive effects on mental health.4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to and performing music reactivates areas of the brain associated with memory, reasoning, speech, emotion, and reward.\u00a0 Two recent studies\u2014one in the United States and the other in Japan\u2014found that music doesn\u2019t just help us retrieve stored memories, it also helps us to store new memories.\u00a0 In both studies, healthy elderly people scored better on tests of memory and reasoning after they had completed several weekly classes in which they did moderate physical exercise to musical accompaniment.5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music\u2019s positive effects on the mind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Music and learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Doctors at John Hopkins recommend that you listen to music to stimulate your brain6<\/sup>. Scientists know that listening to music engages your brain \u2014 they can see the active areas light up in MRI scans.7<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music and your Brain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Music is a form of communication which is different from language. In humans, music stimulates emotions and elicits autonomic and physiological responses. It entrains neural activity and is inextricably linked to movement and dance.8<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 state9<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music can help you heal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A growing body of research confirms that music therapy can improve medical outcomes and quality of life in a number of ways. Here are a few of the studies and evidence based on the article on Harvard Health10<\/sup> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easing anxiety and discomfort during procedures.<\/strong>\u00a0In controlled clinical trials of people having colonoscopies, cardiac angiography, or knee surgery, those who listened to music before their procedure had less anxiety and less need for sedatives. People who listened to music in the operating room reported less discomfort during their procedure. And those who heard music in the recovery room used less opioid medication for pain.11<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restoring lost speech.<\/strong>\u00a0Music therapy can help people who are recovering from a stroke or traumatic brain injury that has damaged the left-brain region responsible for speech. Because singing ability originates in the right side of the brain, people can work around the injury to the left side of their brain by first singing their thoughts and then gradually dropping the melody12<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reducing side effects of cancer therapy.<\/strong>\u00a0Listening to music reduces anxiety associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. It can also quell nausea and vomiting for patients receiving chemotherapy.13<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping with physical therapy and rehabilitation.<\/strong>\u00a0If you exercise to a playlist, you\u2019ve probably noticed that music helps you stick to your routine and gives you more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 2011 analysis of several studies suggest that music therapy enhances people\u2019s physical, psychological, cognitive, and emotional functioning during physical rehabilitation programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiding pain relief.<\/strong>\u00a0Music therapy has been tested on a variety of patients, ranging from those with intense short-term pain to those with chronic pain from arthritis. Overall, music therapy decreases pain perception, reduces the amount of pain medication needed, helps relieve depression in pain patients, and gives them a sense of better control over their pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving the quality of life for people with dementia.<\/strong>\u00a0Because the ability to engage with music remains intact late into the disease process, music therapy can help to evoke memories, reduce agitation, assist communication, and improve physical coordination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breathing and Heart Rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With alterations in brainwaves come changes in other bodily functions. Those governed by the autonomic nervous system14 such as breathing and heart rate can also be altered by the changes music can bring. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate, and activation of the relaxation response15 among other things.
Music and music therapy can help counteract or prevent the damaging effects of chronic stress, greatly promoting not only relaxation but health as well.16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State of Mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Music can also be used to bring a more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression and anxiety at bay17 The uplifting sound of music and the positive or cathartic messages that can be conveyed in the lyrics can all be routed to a new mental state as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music and premature babies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A number of studies have considered the effects of music listening on preterm infants and have shown stabilizing effects on the heart and respiratory rates, reductions in the number of apnea and bradycardia events per day, improved resting-energy expenditure, improved feeding, enhanced weight gain, and more mature sleep patterns; most of these studies report a beneficial effect on at least one of these outcomes18<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music and depression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Researchers have concluded that\u00a0music<\/strong>\u00a0is a valid therapy to potentially reduce\u00a0depression<\/strong>\u00a0and anxiety, as well as to improve mood, self-esteem, and quality of life. They also noted that no negative side effects were reported in any of the trials, making\u00a0music<\/strong>\u00a0a low-risk treatment19<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music & Parkinson\u2019s Disease \u00a0(PD)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Music therapy \u2013 this is a therapy defined broadly by the American Music Therapy Association20<\/sup> as \u201ca treatment including creating, singing, moving to, and\/or listening to music [through which] clients\u2019 abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives.\u201d Music therapy may have a role in helping those with PD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One technique is known as rhythmic auditory cueing, in which rhythm is used to facilitate movement and improve gait. People with PD often note that moving or walking to a rhythm helps improve their movement and employing rhythm to help people with PD is frequently used by PD rehabilitation experts. 21<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need a bit of healing? Why not try Hypnotherapy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can agree that music is soothing, calmer and beneficial to us, so next time you feel sad, low or need a bit of healing, listen to the music that feeds your soul \u2026 and see if you do indeed feel better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypnotherapy\u00a0Assisting the process of change & healing in your life. An all-natural and safe process, whereby individuals are guided into a deep state of relaxation with intense focus. The suggestion is then introduced to the powerful subconscious mind using relaxation, specific languages, and metaphors to generate change and healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use music in\u00a0Hypnotherapy \u2013 this is based on personal choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As indicated Music can relax and improve your mood. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music can ease your consciousness & make it easier to access your subconscious mind to aid the healing and relaxation needed during a hypnotherapy session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music during hypnotherapy acts as a kind of indirect suggestion to the client to relax and let go into deeper states of awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shifting from stress to rest & relaxation to aid healing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we are stressed, our physiology is prompted to enter a state commonly known as the fight-or-flight response. The\u00a0sympathetic\u00a0nervous system prepares the body for the \u201cfight or flight\u201d response during any potential danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When this happens, we are primed for action and feel alert and watchful. While there are benefits to this, the down-side is that we stop performing the important recuperative functions like rest & digestion and healing \u2013 the\u00a0parasympathetic\u00a0nervous system inhibits the body from overworking and restores the body to a calm and composed state and during a Hypnosis session\u00a0trails have shown an effect on the regulation of the autonomic nervous system by increasing parasympathetic activity ( relaxing your nervous system ).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To really \u2018relax\u2019 and let go, we need to convince the mind that we are safe and that there is no need to be so alert and defensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a hypnotherapy session we are aiding you to go deeper into relaxation to aid with the healing process, and once relaxed, in the safe environment created for you during a hypnotherapy session, you\u2019re able to into a calmer and deeper state of relaxation ( easing the fight and flight system) and that is where true healing can happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music, with its ability to instantly shift our moods and take us out of our stressed states, it is an excellent way of prompting us out of the stress response and into rest and digest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gentle ambient background music during hypnotherapy places you at ease and creates a blanket of sound that gives a sense of calm and\u00a0privacy necessary for deep inner hypnotherapy work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have the option to do a silent Hypnotherapy session only guided by the voice of the practitioner or aided with music in the background to ease and allow the body to relax even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
