           MUSIC THERAPY

 

    Music is an  age-old part of  Ayurveda, the  holistic science which promotes  a happy  and healthy lifestyle.  From time  immemorial, music has been a part of Indian culture. In the Vedas too, music has an important place. The 'Samveda' is full of music. The doshas like               Vata,  Pitta and  Kapha can be  controlled effectively  by  Music Therapy. Great composers of Indian classical music have attempted music  therapy down the years.  Legend has it  that classical  music maestro Thyagaraja brought a dead person back to life with his composition.

        It is believed that music stimulates the pituitary gland, whose secretions  affect the nervous  system and  the flow of blood.  It is believed that for healing with music,  it is necessary to vibrate the cells of the body, for it is through these vibrations that the diseased person's  consciousness  can be  changed  effectively  to  promote health.  The right kind of  music helps one r elax and refresh. Even during the course of working, light music improves the efficiency.   Listening  to  music  helps to control  the  negative aspects of our personalities like worry, bias and anger. In addition, it can help cure headache, abdominal pain and tension. Music therapy is one of the most effective ways of controlling emotions, blood pressure and restoring the functioning of the liver.

           The Raga  Research Centre  in Chennai, India. is currently making a comprehensive study of Indian ragas and evaluating their therapeutic  potential  with  the  help of  musicians, doctors  and psychiatrists. It is believed that classical Indian ragas can benefit a whole host of conditions ranging from insomnia, high and low blood pressure to schizophrenia and epilepsy.

           It is believed that there are other ragas that can help fight ageing and pain, too.

          Music is capable of improving happiness, peace, health and concentration. It is however,  important to know the method and duration  for which  Music Therapy  is  to  be  administered.  This knowledge can be obtained through the regular experiments and experience. The first step towards this is the correct diagnosis of the disease  and then the  selection  of  the  precise raga  that will be helpful.  Procedure, discipline and  a  systematic method  will help achieve this goal.
