Why are we able to recognize melodies in our first days of life? Why does making music actually switch off the genes that signal stress? It is because music is part of who we are at the deepest level-and we don't need any special talent or training to harness its power to enhance our lives. With Music Medicine, music therapist Christine Stevens presents an information-packed resource, filled with scientifically-based practices for accessing and attuning to the natural healing properties of music. Drawing from a wealth of research and her own pioneering healing work in some of the most challenging places around the world, Stevens invites you to discover:
"Music's medicine awaits your discovery," says Christine Stevens. "I invite you to release any doubts that you are musical, and to realize the power of music to nourish your body, mind, heart, and soul." With Music Medicine, she provides a thoroughly researched and practical guide for integrating the healing benefits of sound into your life-and discovering the extraordinary transformation that occurs when we liberate our own inner music.
"Music can provide the support we need in life's challenging moments, and more importantly, music can become part of our daily routine for spirituality and health. Enjoy this powerful path for your own healing-through the joy, and the great peace, of music." -Joan Borysenko, PhD, from the foreword of Music Medicine
