Music Therapy



The Influence of Music:


While music as a whole is well recognized for its entertainment value, the Indian civilization had gone a step forward to attribute the curative aspect to music. Long before acoustics came to be understood in Europe as a subject of study, the ancient Arab, Greek and Indian civilizations were already familiar with the therapeutic role of sounds and vibrations and the later day concepts pertaining to them.


The ancient system of Nada Yoga, which dates back to the time of Tantras, has fully acknowledged the impact of music on body and mind and put into practice the vibrations emanating from sounds to uplift one's level of consciousness. It is the Indian genius that recognized that ragas are not just mere commodities of entertainment but the vibrations in their resonance could synchronize with one's moods and health. By stimulating the moods and controlling the brain wave patterns, ragas could work as a complementary medicine.


What is a Raga?


Raga, we all know is the sequence of selected notes (swaras) that lend appropriate 'mood' or emotion in a selective combination. Depending on their nature, a raga could induce or intensify joy or sorrow, violence or peace and it is this quality which forms the basis for musical application. Thus, a whole range of emotions and their nuances could be captured and communicated within certain rhythms and melodies. Playing, performing and even listening to appropriate ragas can work as a medicine. Various ragas have since been recognized to have definite impact on certain ailments.


Historic References on Raga Chikitsa:


The ancient Hindus had relied on music for its curative role: the chanting and toning involved in Veda mantras in praise of God have been used from time immemorial as a cure for several disharmonies in the individual as well as his environment. Several sects of 'bhakti' such as Chaitanya sampradaya, Vallabha sampradaya have all accorded priority to music. Historical records too indicate that one Haridas Swami who was the guru of the famous musician in Akbar's time,Tan Sen is credited with the recovery of one of the queens of the Emperor with a selected raga.


The great composers of classical music in India called the 'Musical Trinity', - who were curiously the contemporaries of the 'Trinity of Western Classical Music, Bach, Beethoven and Mozart were quite sensitive to the acoustical energies. Legend has it that Saint Thyagaraja brought a dead person back to life with his Bilahari composition Naa Jiva Dhaara. Muthuswamy Dikshitar's Navagriha kriti is believed to cure stomach ache. Shyama Sastry's composition Duru Sugu uses music to pray for good health.


Raga Chikitsa: Raga Therapy in India:


Living systems show sensitivity to specific radiant energies be it acoustical, magnetic or electro-magnetic. As the impact of music could be easily gauged on emotions and thereby on mind, it can be used as a tool to control the physiological, psychological and even social activities of the patients.


Indian classical music can be classified into two forms: kalpita sangita or composition, which is previously conceived, memorized, practised and rendered and manodharma sangita or the music extemporised and performed. The latter can be equated to the honey-mooner's first night as it conceives both spontaneity and improvisation. It is fresh and natural as it is created almost on the spot and rendered instantly on the spur of the moment.


According to an ancient Indian text, Swara Sastra, the seventy-two melakarta ragas (parent ragas ) control the 72 important nerves in the body. It is believed that if one sings with due devotion, adhering to the raga lakshana (norms) and sruti shuddhi, (pitch purity) the raga could affect the particular nerve in the body in a favourable manner.


Some Therapeutic Ragas:


Some ragas like Darbari Kanhada, Kamaj and Pooriya are found to help in defusing mental tension, particularly in the case of hysterics. For those who suffer from hypertension, ragas such as Ahirbhairav, Pooriya and Todi are prescribed. To control anger and bring down the violence within, Carnatic ragas like Punnagavarali, Sahana etc. do come handy.


We experimenting on the impact of raga on mentally-retarded children and notice that it is the right combination of rhythms and tempo, which also affect the quality of a raga. Not only psychological impact, but also somatic or physiological impact of ragas has come to light in some recent works.

Body Parts



Bones - The largest bones is the femur, or thigh bone which is 20 inches in a six-foot tall man. The smallest bone is the stirrup in the ear, which is one-tenth of an inch. Each one had 27 bones: eight in the wrist, five in the palm, and 14 in the fingers. A newborn baby has 300 bones, some of which fuse to form in the adult.


Blood - In a child, there are 60,000 miles of blood vessels. An adult has 100,000 miles of blood vessels. The blood circulates through the body 1,000 times a day.


Brain - A newborn baby has a brain that weights three ounces. The average brain of an adult weighs three pounds. The brain is the "mission control center" of the body, sending our messages at a rate of 240 miles per hour. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body.

Cells - The cells are the body's building blocks. There are about 26 billion cells in an adult.


Eyes - Each eye weighs 1 1/4 ounces. The eyes are constantly in motion, even during sleep. Tears keep the eyes warm and are continually secreted through 12 ducts in the eye. Tears are normally secreted through two canals near the inner corner of the eyes.


Fluid - The body is two-thirds water. Blood is 83% water, muscles are 75% water, the brain 74% water, and the bones contain 22% water. In a single day, three pints of saliva are produced in the mouth.


Hair - Kids have about 75,000 hairs on their heads, which grow about 1/100 of an inch daily. Hairs of different colours grow at different rates. Dark hair grows faster than light-coloured hair; no one known why. Each hair on the scalp grows about five inches a year. Eyelashes keep dust out of the eyes. An eyelash lives about 150 days before it falls out and is replaced.


Muscles - There are over 650 muscles in the body, form the tiny ones that move the legs. The strongest muscle is the master muscle of the jaw. It takes at least 14 muscles to smile. The smallest in the body is located in the middle ear. Fingers have no muscles.


Nails - Nails are made up of hardened skin called kertain. Nails protect the ends of the fingers and toes. The half-moon at the root of the nail is called the lunule. Nails grow faster in summer than in winter. Fingernails grow four times faster than toenails. Right - handed people's nails grow faster in their right hands. Left-handed people's nails grow faster on their left hand.


Nose - More than 2,500 gallons of air flow through the average adult's nose in a day. The nose can recognize up to 1,000 different smells. The nose is the air conditioning unit of the body. It cools or warms incoming air. It also filters the dirt and dust in the air.


Skin - The human body has six pounds of skin which is, on average, 1/20 of an inch thick. The two layers of skin are the epidermis and under it, the dermis. The skin is water-proof; it protects the body and helps to regulate body temperature. A substance called melanin colours the skin the more melanin, the darker the skin. A freckle is a dense concentration of melanin. A new layer of skin replaces the old layer approximately every 27 days, totalling about 1,000 new outer layers of skin a lifetime.


Teeth - Humans have 20 primary Baby teeth and 32 permanent teeth. By age 13 most people have 28 teeth. By age 18 the four "wisdom" teeth have grown in for a total of 32 permanent teeth.

Reiki





Reiki is based on the premise that energy is the fundamental nature of existence and that the human body, its thoughts and emotions, can all be expressed in terms of energy oscillating at different frequencies. Reiki is a form of energy medicine, which uses a simple hands-on healing technique.



The Healing Process



According to Dr. Usui, Reiki is the Universal Life Force Energy that heals by calming the mind and raising a person?s life force. This Universal Life Force Energy is the underlying basis for everything. As a result of our identification with our bodies and the five senses, our perception is limited and we cannot seem to go beyond the physical. Reiki helps us to become more open and aware and re-establishes the connection with the Universal Life Force Energy.




Negative thoughts, emotions, and judgements like rage, anger, grief, resentment, etc.get stored in the body in the form of a physical and/or emotional block. This disturbs the natural frequencies of the energy flow in the body, which in turn, can be manifested as headaches, stomachaches, ulcers, rheumatoid arthritis, or even tumours.




According to the Reiki technique, all the blockages in the body's energy flow can be removed by the simple laying on of hands in certain positions over the entire body. The laying on of hands brings the body in touch with the higher vibratory frequency of the Universal Life Force Energy, which penetrates into the body and dissolves the blocks.






What Is Reiki?



Reiki (pronounced "ray-kee") is a therapeutic technique in which healing energy is channelled, or conducted, through a practitioner's hands into the person receiving the treatment. It is believed that Reiki brings the body into emotional and spiritual balance, supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself.



The name Reiki comes from the Japanese rei, meaning "universal," and ki, meaning "energy." Reiki's "universal energy" is equivalent to the vital life force, or qi, in traditional Chinese medicine, and to prana in Ayurvedic medicine. Those who practice Reiki assume the existence of this invisible energy, which is believed to radiate through all life forms.




The Origin of Reiki:



Reiki's origins are unclear, but it is thought to derive from the healing practices of ancient Tibetan monks. In the early 1900s Reiki as we know it was introduced in Japan by Mikao Usui, a religious scholar and teacher who had studied healing in Tibet. Usui named the therapy Reiki and developed the Usui System of Reiki Healing, which is considered by many to be the foundation of the therapy today. Usui's system was brought to Hawaii in the 1930s by Hawayo Takata, a Japanese-American woman who had received the esteemed degree of Reiki Master from one of Usui's disciples. After teaching it there for years, she brought the practice to the mainland U.S. in the 1970s.



How Does It Work?



Proponents of Reiki believe that when one's ki is blocked, sickness can develop. By gently laying hands on a person, a Reiki practitioner helps to break up blockages, allowing healing energy to again flow freely through the person's body. While evidence of Reiki's health benefits is mainly anecdotal, some researchers feel that the deep state of relaxation a Reiki session induces may trigger the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers.



Those who have undergone Reiki treatments report that it clears the mind and creates a heightened sense of awareness. By helping some people to release pent-up emotions, the therapy may also serve to relieve stress, often an underlying cause of illness.



What You Can Expect:



Receiving Reiki is a gentle, soothing experience. Because it is a spiritual tradition, before beginning a session, the practitioner may spend time in quiet contemplation or meditation, thinking about the universal life force that will be channelled into you. The treatment process is considered a healing experience for both the practitioner and the client, and the practitioner often feels recharged and refreshed after a session as well.



During a Reiki treatment, you typically lie fully clothed on a padded massage table in a warm, comfortable room. The practitioner may first "scan" your body for energy blockages by moving his hands a few inches above it. A good practitioner, it is said, can readily find blockages because his hands feel hot or tingly as he encounters them. Any areas where there are blockages will then be a focus of the treatment.



Whether or not there are blockages, the practitioner typically begins by placing his hands lightly and systematically at various places along the body, including the abdomen, legs, back, and feet. This gentle touch is maintained for three to five minutes at each place and up to 20 minutes if there is a problem, as the healing energy is channelled.



A thorough Reiki session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. For stress reduction, one or two Reiki sessions are usually enough. As an adjunct therapy for chronic conditions, long-term treatment may be recommended.



Health Benefits:



Reiki should not be regarded as a substitute for conventional medical care. However, many practitioners and patients have found the therapy to be an effective adjunct treatment for relieving the pain of such chronic diseases as arthritis and multiple sclerosis. A small preliminary study showed that Reiki was useful as an addition to therapy in the management of pain.



Because it is non-invasive, Reiki may also help to treat conditions where touching the body could be painful--in severe burn cases or in those recovering from surgery, for example. By clearing energy blockages and helping a person feel more invigorated, Reiki may also relieve depression and other emotional problems. In addition it has been found to be useful in reducing stress in those being treated for cancer and Aids.



How to Choose a Practitioner:



There is no national or state-wide licensing for Reiki practitioners, although many who practice it may be licensed as physical therapists or massage therapists. Ask your physician, a friend, or a trusted body worker for a referral to a Reiki practitioner.



Traditionally, training in the Reiki method spans three degrees. You can progress from one degree to the next according to your own rate of inner growth.



First Degree: First-degree Reiki practitioners have completed approximately two days of training, typically during a weekend seminar. The training involves learning the history of Reiki, as well as becoming individually "attuned" or "initiated" to the healing energy. This involves receiving four "attunements" from the Reiki Master. Students are also taught the basic Reiki hand positions for treating the whole body. After being given first-degree training, students are able to do Reiki on themselves and others.



Second Degree: This training, also about two days in length, is available to those who have been practicing Reiki at the first-degree level for at least three months. Second-degree students are taught special techniques for enhancing the level of energy transferred and are trained to transmit healing energy long distance (called Distant Healing) to family and friends. Second-degree students are also taught how to contact the subconscious (called Mental Healing) in themselves and others.



Third Degree: or Reiki Master. This training takes about a year and is available to people who have been practicing second-degree Reiki for at least one year. Those trained at this advanced level are qualified to teach Reiki to others and are expected to make a commitment to do so.



Cautions:



Reiki does not cure disease and is not intended to be the primary treatment for any health problem, but rather is a complementary therapy meant to support other treatment that is ongoing. Reiki is not recommended for broken bones, acute pain, or any condition requiring immediate medical attention. A responsible Reiki practitioner will never discourage a client from seeking medical care.

Sense Impression



When the sense impression has been received and interpreted, the mental process is still incomplete; it is nearly always accompanied by some emotional reaction, i.e., our feelings—pleasure, disgust, shame, etc. are stirred at the same time. These too often affect our inferences and distort our interpretation of what we have seen. For example, in witnessing a street accident in which a pedestrian and a motor car are involved, our observation and our inferences may be affected by pity for the victim, or by sympathy with the driver of the car. The influence of emotion upon our inferences often takes the form of "making the wish father to the thought" i.e., we imagine that we have seen evidences of what we wished to see.



Such are the main sources of error in observation; and it should be remembered that everything said about seeing applies equally to bearing and all the other senses. Lastly, memory—the power that enables us to store up experience—is not always a safe guide. Most people tend to remember incidents attended with feelings of pleasure and warmth, and to repress the memory of those unpleasant incidents which sends a shiver down the spine. Distance often lends enchantment to the view. The passage of time frequently casts a halo about past events. Memory has a habit of exaggerating or minimising pleasant or unpleasant sensations. Memory, too, may play strange pranks. Sometimes a faulty or fictitious memory can create 'authority.'

We have so many relevant examples of the unsatisfactory way in which the mind often works. The tendency is for us to remember only those facts or instances which bear out a belief we already possess; we shrink from the special effort required to take account of negative evidence. Superstitious people will be ready to quote examples of fatalities occurring, say, after thirteen have sat down to table; they have forgotten, or have not troubled to remark, how often similar fatalities have followed the sitting down of twelve or fourteen; or the cases where thirteen have sat down to table and no fatality at all has ensued. This disposition to neglect negative evidence is one of the forms that the working of prejudice may take.

When any belief is popularly held, perhaps because it brings comfort or pleasure to its holders, every fresh circumstance is made to support and confirm it; and, although many strong evidences may seem to contradict it, people either shut their eyes to them or depreciate them or get rid of them in some other way, rather than sacrifice their cherished conviction. A man was once shown in a temple the votive tablets hung on the walls by people who had escaped the perils of shipwreck and was asked whether he was not then convinced that his scepticism regarding the power of the gods was ill-founded. His answer—and a very good one, too—was: "But where are the portraits of those who perished in spite of their vows?"

All superstitions are much the same in which the deluded observers note and remember the prophecies which are fulfilled but neglect or forget those which come to nothing, even though the latter may be much more common. Apart from the fact that people, especially ignorant people, do not relish having their cherished convictions upset, they are peculiarly prone to the error of paying more attention and giving greater weight to affirmatives than to negatives; whereas in trying to establish the truth of any proposition, they should give far more consideration to those instances that appear to point to the contrary.

If at the time of observation, or a short time subsequently, we are unable to distinguish what we have seen from the inferences made or the emotions aroused, how much more difficult it will be after some considerable interval has elapsed, during which perhaps we have lived through the experience again in our imagination, and made further inferences with further emotional reactions!

Unless we have taken care to make a careful record of our observations when they were still fresh, our memory may, quite unconsciously, distort or elaborate them. A witness's testimony in the law-courts is often a jumble of facts, assumptions and feelings, and a cross-examining counsel is usually not slow to take advantage of his inability to keep them separate, and thus to discredit him as a witness. In general, the tendency is for people to see what they want to see and to remember what they want to remember. Prejudice thus plays a large part in determining people's power of recall, and the scope and direction of their observation.

Clear Thinking



There are three basic steps for clearer thinking as presented by author "R W Jepson":

Perceive >>> Feel >>> Remember

We depend first of all upon our observation in forming judgments, or more strictly speaking, upon the perceptions of our senses—hearing, touch, smell, taste, as well as sight; the accumulation and repetition of these sense perceptions and of our interpretation of them becomes what we may call experience; and the power that stores them up in our mind we term memory. "Seeing is Believing," but it is a notorious fact that our eyes can easily lead us astray. How often, too, is it found that reliable eyewitnesses may give substantially different accounts of the same simple occurrence! Why is this?

It is possible to see things, without noticing or being aware of them. The eye registers an impression of everything that comes within the range of its view; but our awareness depends upon a number of circumstances; our attention may be weak, or intermittent, or distracted; we may be preoccupied; we may be in poor bodily health. Again, the direction of our attention is naturally determined by our interests at the time or by our point of view.

We may see things, even notice them, and then dismiss them as being of no consequence or significance. "There are none so blind as those that won't see"— this would tell us that we can even shut our eyes and refuse to see what runs counter to our desires. It's a matter of deep feelings. We suggest a slight different solution to a problem in that puzzling play which up to now has received no adequate explanation. We give a good illustration of the common failure on the part of observers to see anything you are not expecting to see.
The danger to which many of us are too often prone is that of interpreting what we see in the light of preconceived opinion. We were present some years ago at a lecture by a professor of psychology. He began by talking to us about Napoleon's campaigns and referred to the battles of Marengo, Hohenlinden, Austerlitz, Jena, etc. Suddenly, without warning, he produced and showed for a second a piece of white cardboard with a word on it printed in large capitals. He asked us to write down the word we had seen. The majority of us wrote BATTLE. As a matter of fact the word was BOTTLE! Authors frequently find difficulty in detecting printers' errors in the proofs of their own writings. Familiarity with the words they have originally written makes them read rapidly and carelessly; they see perhaps one or two letters in a word, or one or two words in a sentence correctly printed, but the rest of the word or sentence escapes their eye and is taken for granted. Errors they miss in this way are more easily detected by proof-readers who approach the text without any previous knowledge of its contents.
Another source of deception is the habit we have of confusing details of what we have seen with the inferences made from them. As soon as the mind receives sense impressions it proceeds to interpret them in the light of experience; the interpretation or inference follows so quickly that in actual practice it is bound up so closely with the sense impression that it is difficult to separate the two. A very great part of our so-called facts of observation consists of partial sense impressions completed by rapid interpretations or inferences supplied from imagination, memory, or previous experience. Thus the stage, the movies and talkies rely upon our ability to reconstruct the whole from the part. The more ignorant and uneducated a person is, "the more difficult it is for him to discriminate between his inferences and the perceptions on which they were grounded. Many a marvellous tale, many a scandalous anecdote owes its origin to this incapacity. Not what we saw or heard, but the impressions which we derived from what we saw or heard, and of which perhaps the greater part consisted of inference, though the whole is related not as inference, but as matter of fact. The person who says, "I see there's someone ill at Number So-and-so," when the sole evidence is a doctor's car standing outside, sees no such thing: what he really sees is an appearance equally reconcilable with the inference he made and with other totally different inferences.
One of the most celebrated examples of a universal error produced by mistaking an inference for the direct evidence of the senses was the resistance made, on the ground of common sense, to the Copernican system. People protested that Copernicus's theory contravened the common-sense conclusion, i.e., the conclusion derived from visual observation, that the earth was stationary and that the sun and stars moved round it. They 'saw' the sun rise and set and the stars revolve in circles round the pole. But we now know that they saw no such thing; what they did see was a number of natural phenomena which could be equally well explained by a totally different theory.

Brain Dead



Brain dead and mental illness are such subjects those not often addressed by some therapists, healers or professionals because they do not feel equipped enough to deal with them. This may be deemed an area best left to medical professionals.


We may come across the cases of individuals who experience existential or neurotic crises. However, it is an altogether different matter when addressing the issues ranging from borderline psychosis to actively psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia or manic depressive states or Bi-polar Affective Disorder.


Chronic Illness:


When individuals with a history of chronic psychiatric illness are in remission and well, it may be impossible for a lay person to find that only recently they may have been experiencing hellish hallucinations or perhaps felt suicidal. The point is not to stigmatise or scaremonger, but rather to emphasise that we have an obligation to be aware that people may seek proper advice during difficult periods in their lives. If one could not recognise the potential mental health problems, they are doing the client an extreme disfavour.


Health Beyond Reason:


Interestingly, classical texts did address some of the possible indicators of severe mental illness. As with any healing work, listings of any medical / spiritual illnesses should be applied in a studied, judicious manner, after examining the whole case. Have you ever thought that we can get the victory over these disorders and insufficiencies?


Survey for Mind-Body-Soul:


We ask people a short questionnaire to find out more about the impact of the negative results over mind, body and soul. You won't believe an eighty five of the hundred respondents confessed that they were surprised by some mysterious effects between the meditation experiences. 28% of the people admitted that the possibilities were more limited then they had thought, and some more came to the conclusion that this only works in actual practice. Ten respondents complained that the process of the subjects were often similar.


For instance, in reply to a multiple choice question about their mind, all subjects claimed to be healthy conditions. But again, there were many more differences than similarities. Moreover, even in those cases when most subjects expressed a similar opinion, there were usually dissenters.


Emotional Differences:


The questionnaires contained much information that could be used to estimate their emotional levels. Anyhow, the summery showed numerous differences that were hard to overlook. For example, although four subjects had a vivid imagination and were fond of aesthetic experiences, there was one subject who showed not the appreciation for such experiences. Nine respondents suspected that the questions were not always answered truthfully. Perhaps the subjects had a lack of self-knowledge or tried to present an illusive scenario of themselves. However, in spite of this potential bias, most questions concerned verifiable facts.


There is no reason to assume that the subjects lied about their hobbies or the keen interests. Even if all facts were false, this would not explain why the healer failed to demonstrate mental agreement. The majority of the respondents asserted that the subjects had not supplied enough information. We cannot rule out the possibility that the chance results were due to a lack of relevant details. It should be remarked, however, that nearly all attendents had asked for less information than they actually received.
