ENHANCED HEALING THROUGH MUSIC
Music has always been a very important part of our lives, from
childhood to our being an adult. As a part of our experience,
music can have both a physiological and psychological affect
upon us as human beings. In addition to the influence that it
has on our life, music also has many therapeutic qualities and
has been utilized in promoting a variety of healings throughout
the ages. As we know further, music can be a very powerful
medium for altering our state, of changing how we actually feel.
More specifically music can be very effective in producing a
very deep and healing state of relaxation and in the process,
reduce stress and even promote sleep. Music can also be used to
assist one in improving his or her self-esteem and furthering an
individual's personal growth and development, transformation.
As a therapist I have always used relaxation music in my
clinical and counseling work with others. I have found that when
I use relaxation music during both an individual and group
counseling session that my clients do more productive work, are
able to focus more effectively on themselves and the issues that
they are becoming present to because they are more relaxed,
focused and centered and as a result, better able to
concentrate. Being relaxed during the counseling process always
tends to generate more productive results for the individual
being counseled. Relaxation music can be a very effective and
powerful aid for assisting a client to reach resolution with
respect to that which he or she is working on with their
counselor.
The relaxation music that I now utilize during both my
individual and group counseling sessions with others is that
which is found on the CD, Prescription for Stress. The musical
patterns that are on Prescription for Stress were originally
developed for my work in counseling and especially in my
hypnotic work with clients. In addition to its application for a
traditional counseling session, the musical patterns on
Prescription for Stress are excellent for assisting in the
induction of a hypnotic state in that this music helps the
client enter into a very relaxed state of hypnosis more easily.
In the past I have used a variety of other musical compositions
in my counseling practice but was very dissatisfied with the
results that my clients and I achieved with them. As a musician
I eventually decided to compose my own music and have found the
results of my compositions with the clients that I work with to
be excellent. After using the relaxation music that I composed
for my work in counseling, I also discovered that the music had
another application as well, that is, to assist anyone in
achieving a very deep state of relaxation and as a result to
effectively and efficiently reduce the stress in their lives.
Managing our stress is very important if not crucial to our
overall well being. Prescription for Stress is an audio product
specially designed to assist an individual in managing and
reducing the stress that he or she may experience on a daily
basis. This audio health care product utilizes two components to
assist an individual in effectively experiencing a very deep
state of relaxation, reducing stress and also in promoting a
peaceful, restful sleep. The first component is the musical
pattern itself. I have found that musical compositions that are
harmonically slow, repetitious, with sustained voices, which are
rhythmically, random in tempo assists an individual in
experiencing a very deep state of relaxation. The second
component of this product is the binaural audio tones that are
interwoven into the music. The binaural tones, through a process
referred to as entrainment or frequency following, gently guides
or directs the mind/body to generate more of the targeted
frequency of brain wave activity whether it be for either
profound relaxation or sleep. The first CD contains binaural
audio tones within the alpha and theta range, which induces a
very relaxed state. The second CD contains binaural audio tones
within the delta range and thereby assists one in experiencing a
peaceful, restful sleep.
Anyone can experience the technology and effect of Prescription
for Stress by merely playing it on their home audio system. Use
of this powerful relaxation music can be accomplished by
listening to it with ones stereo speakers or with headphones,
the latter being the more effective way to listen to his
product. Listening to Prescription for Stress with headphones
allows one to experience the full effect of the technology, the
uniquely designed music compositions combined with the binaural
audio tones and thereby gain a deeper state of relaxation. Those
who practice meditation, self-hypnosis or yoga will find that
their practice is even more enhanced while listening to this
audio product. I now also recommend that mental health and
addiction counselors use this product when conducting counseling
sessions with their clients whether it is in a group or
individual setting. While many counselors are not present to the
power of this type of relaxation music when utilized within a
counseling context, those who do employ it find that their
sessions with a client to be more effective and productive due
to the reason stated above.
Self-esteem is also extremely essential to ones well-being.
Enhancing My Self Esteem is an audio health care product
uniquely designed to assist an
individual in improving his or
her self esteem, supporting the development of a positive
self-image and promoting the individual's personal growth and
development, transformation. Enhancing My Self Esteem will
assist a person in changing negative and possibly even
destructive thought patterns to positive and empowering beliefs
about him or herself. Utilizing the same combination of original
musical compositions and binaural audio tones as Prescription
for Stress, Enhancing My Self Esteem is an audio health care
product that creates a very profound and relaxing auditory
environment, a space for the individual to become open or highly
suggestible to a series of very positive affirmations. Within a
conversation of transformation, the thoughts that we think and
say or commit to word are very important, very powerful for
improving our self-image and transforming our lives. Enhancing
My Self Esteem is an audio product that creates a very relaxed
auditory environment for the person to listen to, begin to
practice and eventually accept 50 positive affirmations,
affirmations designed to improve a person's self esteem and
begin the process of transforming his or her life.
To fully experience the beneficial effects of Enhancing My Self
Esteem it is recommended that a person listen to both tracks
once a day for a minimum of 90 days. The first track has been
designed for use with your stereo system's speakers and should
be listened to during the morning or afternoon hours. Track One
provides a person the opportunity to consciously practice all of
the positive affirmations, to commit them to word, to make them
real. Track two has been developed exclusively for use with
headphones and should be listened to during the evening hours
preferably before the individual goes to sleep. The second track
has been developed for a person's unconscious mind and will be
that which the individual takes into his or her dream state.
Each listening should be done when the individual will be
completely free of any distractions. After the first ninety days
of use, it is recommended that the person listen to both tracks
two times a week for another 90 days to further enhance the
beneficial effects.
In addition to anyone wanting to improve their self esteem and
further his or her personal transformation, I also recommend
that mental health and addiction-oriented counselors utilize
Enhancing My Self Esteem with their clients. Most of the clients
that mental health and addiction counselors see in treatment in
either an individual or group setting have an impaired
self-image and are continuously experiencing extremely low
self-esteem. For whatever reason the clients that are seen by
mental health and addiction oriented counselors tend to have
many negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves, many
negative affirmations about who they think they are. Assigning
Enhancing My Self Esteem as homework for a client to listen to
outside of the counseling session allows that client the
opportunity to begin a process of improving his or her
self-esteem and as a result to be more productive within the
counseling session.
I am currently using Enhancing My Self Esteem with all of the
clients at the Holistic Addiction Treatment Program, a
residential and outpatient program in North Miami Beach,
Florida. The Holistic Addiction Treatment Program is an agency
that treats individuals who suffer from alcohol or drug
dependency. The vast majority of clients of this agency
experience chronic relapse. Within Transformational Counseling,
Enhancing My Self Esteem is assigned as homework for all of my
clients, as a way of continuing the work that is presented in my
individual and group counseling sessions, as a way of
transforming the thoughts and words of the client. The
prescription for use of this product is the same as mentioned
above. After the assignment is made I always ask the clients
about their use of this product, about what they are becoming
present to as they listen. In addition to assisting the
individual in eventually feeling better about themselves and
increasing their motivation with their recovery, I have also
found that Enhancing My Self Esteem tends to elicit important
thoughts and memories from the past, thoughts and memories that
are then processed in the preceding counseling session.
Enhancing My Self Esteem is a very powerful, healing product.
With continued use, clients tend to always report that they feel
better about themselves and are more motivated, especially with
respect to their recovery. When utilized in conjunction with
Transformational Counseling, the effects can be extraordinary
for a client. As Transformational Counseling is about an
individual altering his or her very thoughts and words, that
which has defined their very being in the past, Enhancing My
Self Esteem is a product that allows a client to powerfully
practice their transformation on a daily basis. While the basis
or foundation for the actual transformation is in an
individual's language, the thoughts that he or she thinks and
the very words that they say, the environment from which this
takes place is one that is initially created through the power
of music.
