HEALING
MUSIC
From the ancient
times, music is something that has put people, in touch with their inner
most feelings. Different kind of music works upon different emotions
of an individual, and releases the various incomplete emotions leading
towards a total healing of body and mind.
The mind and body are connected. The human mind is not housed in the
brain as per the conventional thought but rather; the mind is present
everywhere and therefore pervades every cell of the body. What is the
human mind? Mind is an aggregate of all life experiences be it pain,
pleasure, hurt, anger, joy, anxiety; it could be anything.
Any positive emotion causes a cell to vibrate at a higher frequency
and negative vibrations cause the cells to vibrate at lower frequency.
The negative emotion is nothing but an incompletely experienced emotion.
These emotions when stored in the cells of the body are the diseases.
What is music? According to the ancient thinkers,
there are three aspects of music: singing, playing and dancing. All three
represent rhythm, and all three represent tone in some form or other.
And what is the effect of music? The effect of music is to regulate the
rhythm of another person, and to tune a person to the music that is being
performed.
What secret is there in music which attracts all those who listen
to it? It is the rhythm which is being created. It is the tone
of that music which tunes a soul and raises it above depression
and despair of everyday life in this world. And if one knew what
rhythm was needed for a particular individual in his trouble and
despair, what tone was needed, and to what pitch that person's
soul should be raised, one would then be able to heal him with
music.
Often the cause of illness is within. Although, no doubt, many
things are caused outwardly. No single rule will cover everything.
Undoubtedly, as things have changed in the world and materialism
has spread throughout the world, this has influenced things, not
only in the West but in the East also. The use of music for health
and healing of the soul, which was prevalent in ancient
times, is not found to the same extent now. Music has been made
a pastime, the means of forgetting instead of realizing.
And
it is the use one makes of things which constitutes their fault
or virtue.
The rhythm which is necessary for our cure
is brought about by bringing the circulation of the blood into
a certain rhythm and speed.
By this we learn
that health is a condition of perfect rhythm and tone. And
what is music? music is rhythm and tone. When the
health is out of order, it means the music is out of order. Therefore,
when the music is not right in us the help of harmony and rhythm
is very necessary to bring us into a state of harmony and rhythm.
This way of healing can be studied and understood by studying
the music of one's own life, by studying the rhythm of the pulse,
the rhythm of the beating of the heart and of the head. Physicians
who are sensitive to the rhythm determine the condition of the
patient by examining the rhythm of the pulse, the beating of
the heart, the rhythm of the circulation of the blood. And to
find the real complaint a physician, with all his material knowledge,
must depend upon his intuition and upon the use of his musical
qualities.
