Music is one of the tools that we can utilize to explore where all healing begins. It is frequently used as a precursor to meditation.There have been studies that have clinically shown that listening to music accelerates the natural healing process of the body in hospital patients.
But if I were to lock you in a room and blast music at you that you disliked, at a very high decibel level, Would you benefit from the musical assault? Would you be able to heal in such an environment? So whether or not music has a healing effect depends on the person listening to the music and their own belief system. Sound is merely a vibration that can be interpreted in a way that may or may not have a healing effect on the person. It depends on the individual’s inclination towards music.Music can be an extraordinarily powerful tool for those who are able to utilize their sense of hearing to create an environment in which healing can take place.
Music is powerful because it is a language that somehow bypasses the intellect. It’s a language that we understand intuitively. One does not have to reason through music to comprehend it. The intellect can actually take a rest while one listens to music because the complex combination of sounds is beyond a reasoning process. So we listen to music from a state of consciousness in which the mind is involved in minimal effort. It is almost completely at rest.I think it is the nature of this rest that effects healing in our lives.
Listen to music that you really love, let the music sweep you away from your thinking reasoning self and into the stillness of your inner being. Once you are there you will be able to determine for yourself where all healing arises from.
