My nephew has some problems to overcome and as part of his care he is having music therapy. How would this work-how does it help? He is six and has cerebral palsy.
This type of therapy is still in need of more in-depth research to prove how music actually helps in treating illnesses. I've read one article saying that music can help because it relaxes us and therefore giving time for the body to produce healthy cells or repair the damaged ones.
Music can make us feel good, and feeling good opens the flow of healthy life force energy and provides the atmosphere in which health can occur. As opposed to feeling bad, which equals stress, which we pretty much all acknowledge these days, as illness-inducing.
