هنري، وجهاز آيبود، وكيمياء الموسيقى

Arlen, you're a lovely example of the kind of "vibrational" nonsense that surrounds our culture today. Music is about emotion, the soul, not vibrations, not some mystical "energy" that "puts organs in tune".

Music is frankly MUCH too important to be subjected to this sort of shallow New Age silliness! BTW I named my son after Oliver Sacks. You'd do well to pay attention to his teachings.

I lead drum circles in nursing homes and day care centers.  I have 20 small drums and each person drums which creates a vibration which goes in the ears and vibrates the water around the brain, the spinal column and every organ.   One vibration creates another and help put organs into their proper tune.   Listening to music is great but drumming gentle drum strokes and singing old songs...Alzheimer's always remember the songs...is even a more powerful healing.
   I invite each to use their own voice...to hum, to tone and finally to laugh.  That creates the highest energy of the day.  With meditation, it can lower blood pressure, stress and put people to sleep.

It is surprising how music touches life. I really enjoy music when am sad there are some tpye and when am happy there is a type. Emotional music helps me get a little strength.
I don't enjoy classic and I become like the singer if the music interests me. May God help the man.

I worked at a nursing home for a year doing my postdoc hours.  It was a home filled with a lot of dementia, depression and sadness.  I started a music group. Each week, I would play music from the residents' era of growing up.  At first, I only had one or two attendees.  Soon, the room was full (and the staff was hanging out at the door)!  The residents sang, shared memories and came alive.   It was such  a blessing to be a part of it all! Music really does touch a place inside that brings people alive!

What a wonderful story! Music is so powerful! I have experienced it in my own way when my mother, who is a stroke patient, called and sang happy birthday to me on my answering machine. Her voice was as strong and clear as ever, and I cherish that memory. I encourage everyone to use music as a way to reconnect, you never know what you can awaken in someone special!
