Is music a therapy for you?  

Music works as an emotional therapy for me. I get a lot out of listening to songs with depressing undertones in the melodies and introspective lyrics. I don't know about the physical side of it, though. I guess one could listen to music and forget about their physical pain. But I haven't experienced that yet.

Hi des,
Yes is a the best theraphy for me, it can relieve my stress,depression,loneliness,etc.....I been a music addict since i was a kid.I love to listen to music and it makes me feel comfortable.I do say its the best theraphy i had.Happy Sunday....

What kind of music you use as therapy? Well, yes, I think I have used it once. I bought a classical piano music with nature's background like woods and chirping birds, rains, and rushing stream and or slowly flowing water. Gosh, it made me feel like I was really on that forest and it's raining. That's the time I was so tired from work, and it brought me a good sleep and I think a dream, LOL.

But now, I don't do it, my therapy music today are dance from black artist like Rihanna and Chris brown, they're cool. And they make me feel alive, and hip.

Music is a good thing . I use music help me fall asleep ,and reduce the stomach pain of menses ,and relief the stress of hard work . It can really work effectively .
And I like pop music and classical , and some light music.Anyway ,I like beautiful music.I can live a goog life without music.

Hello my friend djoyce71 Ji,
Music is life. One can not go without music. See , what is says:-

Music Therapy is "the planned and creative use of music to attain and maintain health and well being. People of any age or ability may benefit from a music therapy programme regardless of musical skill or background.

Music therapy may address physical, psychological, emotional, cognitive and social needs of individuals within a therapeutic relationship. It focuses on meeting therapeutic aims, which distinguishes it from musical entertainment or music education." (Australian Music Therapy Association Inc.).

Music therapists are registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association. They must be proficient musicians before undertaking one of the tertiary courses of training accredited with the Australian Music Therapy Association. (www.austmta.org.au)

have a nice time.

Is that so? Well somehow I think this is true. Music can soothe! I for one love listening to music of my choice coz I always find this to be comforting to my soul. If my soul could be comforted by the good music I hear....then it follows that it could also heal physical pain. Great! So I will listen my type of music more and more! Thanks for posting this topic.

Oh yes,it is.It changes my mood to something that relieve me from stress or from whatever upset i have.Music brings joy to my ears and its something that uplift me everyday.I do love music very much.

Music has great healing powers,form being a baby to haivng some of the light classical music played to you too soothe you to sleep,then to nursery school where you start to learn all of the tunes the young ones learn.Then you may go into the school choir,and sing your little heart out,and teenage years bring lots of musical memories,a particular song may be assocaited with someone special,there may be melodies that make you feel sad,there may be tunes that make you feel happy.All the way around in life music has an impact on life.There are certain types of music that are played at different times in our lives,we marry and we have the bridal march,stirring music is played at occasions such as the Promenade concerts.If you stop and think or a moment where would the world be without music and the great composers,if you think long enough about it ,the world would be an empty place with no song or tune.
