Music Therapy

 

Hi Friends,

Today's subject is music! Specifically the connection between music and your well being. Naturally this thought came after my sound healing post. As a young girl I have always felt very connected to music. I specifically gravitated towards songs and singing. I personally find singing very healing form of expression. Growing up I later found out I had "perfect pitch" by my choir conductor. To this day I still follow my musical pursuits and side projects. Definitely not singing necessarily but still following my passion in it. Upon writing my sound healing post, Ive also learned that in the holistic community music is found to be very healing. Many of us feel this deep connection to music.

Lalaloveandbelively began as a project for me to spread the word about holistic health but has now evolved as a brand. Lalaloveandbelively is now a brand representing life, love, well being, holistic health, events, community, exercise, dancing, music and anything in relation to being lively. It's a fun brand full of life so, its great to see how it in itself is evolving. Music is a huge part of the brand. It's interesting to see the correlation between music and how it causes stress relief and uplift your mood.

Music has the ability to instantly change our state of mind and mood and evokes emotion from us as well. Music is so powerful and it does have the power to free us from negative emotions. Music takes us to another place in a matter of seconds. Music therapy is many times used in somatic healing session's. Music is also used for sound healing sound baths. It has a great impact on mental health as well. Its pretty safe to say that there is a huge correlation between music and our holistic well being.

There are many various therapies that can be used for healing involving music such as 

-Sound Healing

-Somatic Therapy

-Music Therapy

Ive written about both sound healing and somatic healing but lets dive deeper into music therapy.

It is a clinical use of music for well being. It can involve listening to music, singing, playing instruments, songwriting, or even composing music. This is used primarily to reduce stress, improve mood and self expression. Contemporary dance is a great example of this display of emotion and self expression through music.

So I really hope you try different forms of therapy. Music therapy is such a great choice especially for the more artistic ones. As always I wish the best for you and I hope you can spread the joy, peace and love with everyone that your encounter. Feel free to share this post with whoever you believe it will benefit.
