MUSIC THERAPY
Stress is a major reason behind many illness such as depression ,gastro-oesophageal reflux syndrome ,gastritis,diabetes mellitus and all kind of heart diseases known.As we all know,the never ending thirst for success and the hustle bustle to reach the top and the pressure of living in this high pressure competitive world is really tough.And this results in mental trauma which ends in many physical illness as a sign of defense mechanism.Being a nursing student ,when my teachers taught about the importance of music in the treatment of Alzheimer and depression ..i did'nt take it seriously.But when was trying to get my assignments done and was running against the time and couldnt meet the deadline,i was completely stressed out and it was then i got my new ipod, a gift from my mom,and to be frank it did wonders i was able to do my work fast and also helped me to de-stress myself.As Brian said,"There is music in the sighing of reed,there is music ingushing of a rill,and there is music in all things,if men had ears:their earth is but an echo of sphere."

           And a great example to this qouting is sitting in the beach and listening to the waves and to the air brushing against your skin...you can notice a rhythm to it,this a moment of perfect bliss and is the greatest gift by our mother earth.Similarly sitting alone,spending time alone allows you to listen to the music within yourself and it is then you know the heart beats and the breathing pattern to follow a rhythm.music has therapeutic values and when used correctly enhances the cognitive ability of us.such a goal oriented use of music to bring out the positivity in one is called music therapy.Not just for conditions its also been used by children with poor mental ability as well as by pregnant ladies to enhance their capabIlity. Music plays an important role in many lives.helps to speak to ones heart ,changes ones attitude to life encouraging them to hold on to their life and also to live your life with confidence and to develop positive qualities like kindness,generosity,nobility and others.Music makes life better over all and also is known to provoke memories.As JOHN DENVER qouted"music does bring people together.allow us to experience same emotions as humans are all same in heart and spirit.No matter what language we speak what colour we are the form of our politics and expression of our love and faith,music proves :ARE SAME
