MUSIC: The Art of Healing Therapy

Music is therapeutic to one's soul; it can alter your mood, thought patterns, and trigger your memory. It has been proven to help people with Alzheimers, dementia, behavioral management issues and other chronic cognitive and physical impairments. The right type of music has the ability to boost their confidence; when they hear music that is motivating it uplifts them and temporarily takes them away from everything that they may dealing with in their personal life.

With all of that being said, I want to discuss the topic of music therapy and bring up various topics as to why it can be used as a tool to inspire you in many different ways. Music allows us to deepen our thinking through a creative response to use our minds to wonder and hope for more, heal our wounds, tap into our imaginations, so that we can get the confidence to conquer anything that our hearts desire. Music Therapists use music to help their clients achieve progress towards their established goals, and work towards reintegrating parts of themselves in which they may have felt disconnected from.

Music is a very big part of my life, I have turned to it when I was down and feeling lonely or stressed out and didn't know where else to turn to; it has comforted me while I was going through hard times and it was able to push me to keep moving forward and inspired me to do better. I don't think people realize how healing music really is, when you are going through certain stages and struggles. I found that listening to music that has lyrics that closely relates to what I am going through at the present time it has the ability to alter my thoughts and put the situation into another perspective; its a sense of comfort because when you hear musicians express similar thoughts that relates to what your personally dealing with, it tends to make you not feel like as if you are not alone.
