Greetings dear readers,
My move to the South Island has now been accomplished and I remain grateful for the aroha from all … Thank youβοΈπ
I have now re- delved into my book ” The brain’s way of healing ” and intention of this blog is to share snippets from author Doidge’s brilliant masterpiece …. πππ
I have chosen the topic of sound and music as a powerful tool and pathway towards healing – in the hope that you would add a little more music in all that you do ππΉ

The facts
Many brain disorders are caused when brain loses its rhythm or becomes dysrhythmic …
Music or sound therapy is a promising noninvasive way of to get the brain back on rhythm
How and why ??
Studies on brain scan show that when brain is stimulated by certain sounds , chants , neurons begin to work in perfect order- with the music being played π
For example The sound of a chant is similar to the breath of a calm and unstressed person βοΈπ«
Music can be a powerful self regulatory tool – it calms the nervous system – it turns on the reward centers of the brain – music increases levels of feel good hormones, that in turn increase feelings of pleasure and motivationππ«
Our ear works as though its a battery to the brain – it transforms patterns of sound energy or sounds that we hear , into electrical energy that our brains can use internally . π

As humans as we grow in our mother’s wombs in darkness- there is nothing that we see- but we hear – our first contact with existence in life is encapsulated – ” within the vibrations of our mother’s heartbeat, tide of her breathing , the music of her voice …. melody and rhythm even without knowing the meaning of her words”- so there is an ingrained predisposition within each of us that makes us receptive to to sound and music …
The notes of Mozart comes highly recommended for all ages- Mozart’s music is all about right tone and cadence – musical part of language that influences and enhances emotional flow of language …..πΉπ₯’πΌ
So on that note I bid adieu for now π
