If you look on
the Internet or go into your nearby audio store you're likely to find music
labeled “Healing Music.” The section may include music for relaxation, meditation,
stress reduction, pain relief or tapping into one's soul. There may be a
variety of
instruments or sounds from a forest or the ocean.
So what makes
this music “healing music?”
Music has a
way of stirring our innermost feelings and all of our senses, of tapping into
parts of ourselves unlike anything else. Music is a universal language that has
theability to speak to us deeply and uniquely.
If you've paid much attention to how you respond to a variety of music, you may
have noticed that some music seems to energize you, some music can move you to tears
or spark a special memory of a time, place, food, or perhaps a certain person.
Some music
seems to make you relax, feel less stressed, and feel happier. And some music
fills us with deep spiritual attunement.
The following
are some examples of what I mean.
1.
1. Tapping
into our innermost feelings:
Think about some of the movies you've seen. “Jaws”
wouldn't be the same without its daunting, low, repetitive sounds that makes
you sit on the edge of your seat waiting for the shark to attack from
somewhere. Then there's “Titanic” and its gorgeous love theme that permeates
throughout the movie and throughout ourselves with its bittersweetness,
generating the beauty of love and the tragedy of the massive ship's sinking and
loss of so many lives.
One aspect of “healing” music is to stir our feelings,
to help us deal with grief, sadness, anger or other feelings. By allowing
ourselves to FEEL those feelings, the intensity will eventually lessen and even
dissipate, resulting in being healing for us. When we avoid our feelings
(consciously or subconsciously) they nonetheless tend to build up inside. They
don't just go away. Music can be a tool to help us deal with feelings within
us, whether we're aware of them or not. This is one of the wonderful ways music
can be incredibly healing.
2.
Music for an energy
boost:
I remember the Doobie Brothers' latest album, “Minute
by Minute.” It would help keep me energized and cheerful while I did the
laundry, dusted and straightened (not my favorite things in the world to do).
Remembering that, I recently bought the CD and I find that it still works to
energize me. Handel's Messiah is also a very energizing piece, or the last
movement to Beethoven's 9th Symphony, the famous Ode to Joy.
In The Mozart Effect, Don
Campbell talks about using music in a variety of ways throughout the day,
in the morning to help energize us, throughout the day to help us focus or
concentrate better, music to help our intelligence, and in the evening to help
us relax.

Music for relaxation:
Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep, so I listen
to relaxing music, which can be a tremendous help. Lately I've been listening
to some wonderful Native American flute music by Scott Cunningham (visit his
website at http://www.oginali.com) to help me go to sleep as well as
recently during some very busy days to help me not feel so stressed out. I've
also drifted off to sleep listening to a guided meditation by Ron Mann,
Ph.D., Sleep. You can check out Ron's tapes
athttp://www.ronmann.com/.
What exactly is “relaxing” music? Whether we are aware
of it or not, music that's relaxing tends to slow down our heart rates to about
one beat per second. If we're feeling stressful, angry, anxious, or irritable,
our heart rates tend to increase. Music can actually help our heart rates slow
down to a more relaxing pace, changing our physiology. This phenomenon is what
can help me fall asleep more easily. It's what is found with many meditation
tapes or other music specifically designed for stress reduction or relaxation.
4.
Music for spiritual
attunement:
Chanting has existed for centuries. For example, there
are wonderful recordings of Gregorian chants, chants from India, chants sung by
Catholic or Buddhist monks and other religious or secular groups. They tend to
be repetitive with the goal of deepening our spiritual lives, whatever they may
be, or at the very least, to help bring peaceful feelings into our beings.
There is a large variety of music that taps into our
souls.
5.
Choosing Music
How do we know what music to choose to be healing for
us? What about the variety of musical tastes that we each have? I have some
suggestions to help get you started. There are also several books listed
there, such as Hal Lingerman's, The Healing Energies of Music,
which lists music categorically, a tremendously helpful resource.
