What Is Music Therapy?

Music impacts the mind in powerful ways. Different musical styles have varying effects on the mind and can significantly affect a person’s mood. Indeed, music can help a person experience various emotions, including thoughtfulness, excitement, sadness, and calmness. The powerful impact of music on the mind is the basis of music therapy.

Music therapy is an evidence-based clinical practice where a therapist uses music to improve a patient’s well-being. It is an alternative to other common methods such as counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Additionally, music therapy seeks to achieve different goals the therapist and patient may set and may involve making music, writing songs, singing, dancing, listening to music, and discussing music.

People experiencing depression and anxiety may find this treatment beneficial. Studies also report that it has the potential to enhance the well-being of individuals with physical health issues. In addition, music therapy helps promote wellness, alleviate pain, manage stress, enhance memory, and speed physical rehabilitation.

Additionally, music therapy can help enhance communication abilities, self-reliance, and self-awareness. Consequently, this leads to greater self-confidence. Also, this practice can boost attention skills, concentration, and empathy towards others.

Music therapy works by modulating five key aspects: attention, cognition, emotion, behavior, and communication. Modulation of attention happens when music distracts a person from actively engaging in other stimuli that may have negative consequences such as pain, worry, and anxiety.

Music also modulates cognition by affecting memory processes, including encoding, decoding, and storing information related to musical experiences. Modulation of cognition also involves analyzing music syntax and music’s meaning.

Regarding emotions, researchers claim that music affects the brain’s parts involved in initiating, generating, maintaining, and terminating emotions. Also, music modulates behavior by affecting behavioral aspects like speaking and walking.

Last, music impacts communication by serving as a form of communication itself. Consequently, music can have a significant influence on relationships.

Music therapy and sound therapy are terms sometimes used interchangeably, but they differ. Sound therapy employs sound, music, and specialized instruments. These elements, when used in therapeutic manners together with deep self-reflection techniques, aid in enhancing one's health and overall well-being.

While music therapy is a new practice, sound therapy is an old technique based on ancient Tibetan practices. Additionally, sound therapy and music therapy have different objectives. Sound therapy works by targeting specific sound frequencies, while music therapy addresses symptoms such as stress and pain using music, regardless of the frequencies, tones, or other musical attributes.

Moreover, sound therapists require less standardized training and certifications compared to music therapists. Music therapists usually work in hospitals, substance use treatment centers, or private practice centers, while sound therapists may be part of complementary or alternative medicine practices in other settings not associated with Western medicine.

There are various music therapy techniques, including analytical music therapy, benenzon music therapy, cognitive behavioral music therapy (CBMT), community music therapy, Nordoff-Robbins music therapy, the Bonny method of guided imagery and music (GIM), and vocal psychotherapy.

Analytical music therapy helps patients express hidden thoughts using improvised music. This helps an individual reflect on varying issues while working with a therapist.

Benenzon music therapy combines psychoanalysis and music-making to help discover a unique “musical sound identity” that describes external sounds that match an internal psychological state. Psychoanalysis is a therapeutic approach that addresses mental health concerns by focusing on the connection between unconscious and conscious mental aspects using methods such as free association and dream analysis.

CBMT blends CBT with music and uses structured activities like listening, dancing, singing, or playing an instrument. With community music therapy, community members actively engage in music to effect changes at the community level.

Also known as creative music therapy, Nordoff-Robbins music therapy includes playing an instrument, often a cymbal or drum, in the presence of a therapist. This fosters self-expression. GIM uses classical music to spark imagination and involves sharing feelings, sensations, memories, and imagery that music evokes. Finally, vocal psychotherapy utilizes vocal exercises, natural sounds, and breathing techniques to connect with one’s emotions and enhance self-connection.

Hijrat

Insaan jis mahol aur mu'ashre me rahta hai, uske kuchh na kuchh asraat uski zindagi par waarid hote hain. Agar uski rihayish ke atraaf fahashi, buraiyan, gandagi, shirk bidaat khurafaat phaili huwi ho to insan ko chahiye ki infiradi taur par hikmat se kuchh arsa woh aise logo ki islah ki koshish bhi kare aur apne aapko ek acche aur ba-akhlaaq muashre ka hissa banane ke liye phir ek mutayyan waqt par waha se kooch kar ke ya hijrat kar ke aisi jagah chala jaye jaha woh apni ibadato ko poorsukoon andaz me anjam de sake.

Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam Makkah walo ko 13 saal tak dawat e deen dete rahe, phir ek din aisa aaya ki Allah ne unhe hijrat kar ke Madina jane ka huqm diya. Ek martaba Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam apne ashaab ke sath safar me the aur ek jagah raat me qiyam farmaya. Bilal radiyallaho anho ki neend bedar na hui aur sab ki fajr ki namaz chhut gayi. Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam ne farmaya (mafhoom) ki is waadi me shaitan ka ghalba hai, waha se kuchh door gaya aur phir waha namaz ada ki gayi. Ek sahaba ne kisi jagah qurbani karne ki ijazat chahi to Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam ne daryaft kia ki kya us jagah but (statue) hai ya kabhi hua karta tha? Agar nahi to phir aap qurbani karo.

Ibraheem alaihis salam ko bhi huqm hua ki Hazrat Hajera ko ek maqsoos jagah par chhod den aur phir waha aabadi qayam hui aur ek pura muashra tashqeel me aya. Woh hadees mash'hoor hai jisme ek insan 100 qatl karta hai phir ek buzurg use mashware dete hain ki tum bure logo ki basti chhod kar fala jagah chale jao jaha ibadat guzar log rehte hai.

Yusuf alaihis salam ke bhai jo unse hasad karte the, unse door lejakar mukhtalif maraahil se guzar kar Allah ne unhe misr ki badshaht naseeb farmayi. Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam ne khud bhi kaee sahaba ko Makkah ke daur me habsha ki taraf hijrat karne ke liye kaha tha.

Pata yeh chalta hai ki mahol aur muashra aur usme basne wale logo ka asr insan ki rozmarra ki zindagi par, uske akhlaaq par, uske qirdaar par, uski muqammal wajood par hota hai. Use chahiye ki jab tak woh us basti me ho, amr bil maroof aur nahi anil munkar ka fareeza anjaam deta rahe aur jab use lage ki woh kaamil taur par aise logo ke bich rah kar islam ka haqq ada karne se aajiz aur hai aur iman ke kamzor pad jane ka khadsha hai to phir hijrat kar le.

Quran me Allah khud farmata hai ki insan se puchha jayega (mafhoom) ki kya Allah ki zameen kushada na thi ki tum hijrat kar lete? Bani israel ki ek qaum par jab azab e ilahi nazil hua to farishte ne puchha ki Ya Allah is basti me tera ek banda aisa bhi hai jo lamha bhar ke liye teri yaad se gaafil nahi hua, kya us par bhi azab aayega? Farmaya gaya, ha usi se shuru karo, kyon ki jab woh us basti me maujood tha, tab uski zimmedari thi logo ko mutanabbeh karne ki.

Gehu ke sath ghun bhi pis jaya karta hai. Allah hum sab ki hifazat farmaye aur hame imaan ki salamati ata farmaye. Aaamin.

RIZQ MEIN KHAIR O BARKAT KE ASBAAB

Hadees ka mafhoom hai ki agar insaan apne rizk me aur apni umr me barkat chahta hai, to use chaiye ki woh silarehmi kare.

Silarehmi se matloob apne padosiyon, apne ahl o ayal, apne rishtedaar, mukarrabeen, dost ahbab, safar ke sathi,saath kaam karne wale(co-workers), apne khaadim, musafir, zarooratmand, khidmat ke mustahiq, mazloom, society ke kamzor tabke jaise ki bewa, yateem, ghurba, wagairah har kisi ki khair'khwahi karna.

Iske fawaid yeh hai, ki uske rizk me aur uski umr me "barkat" hogi. Barkat ka mafhoom sirf aur sirf "izafa" nahi hai. Izafa uski ek shakl ho sakti hai. Yani ki insaan ki rozi me barkat, use daulat aur asbab ki zyadati, farawaani aur kushaadgi se haasil ho sakti hai, lekin barkat apne aap me ek aisa wasee lafz hai, ki uski doosri ek shakal, jo dar'asl hikmat par mabni hai, woh yeh bhi ho sakti hai ki us shaksh ka aur uske gharwalo ka kam kharch me aur ba'aasani guzara ho jaye aur andarooni kan'aa'at (contentment) bhi haasil ho jaye. mehroomi ka ehsas na ho. Internal satisfation mil jaye. aur kabhi kisi ki maali mohtaaji darpesh na aaye.

Isi tarha umr me barkat ka ek mafhoom to yeh hai ki uski umr waqai me lambi ho jaye aur woh uska bharpoor istemal Allah ki ibadat baja laane me kare aur dher saari nekiyo ka zakheera jama kare. Lekin iski ek doosri shakl yeh bhi ho sakti hai ki uski umr kam ho, lekin Allah use zindagi me aise mawakeh ata farma de, aise amal ki tawfeek dede aur aise aamal-e-swaliha baja lane me uski madad o nusrat farma de jo badi lambi umr walo ko bhi haasil na ho aur uski mukhtasar si umr ke ander uske us amal se aakhirat ka zabardast tosha tayyar ho jaye aur jannat ka rasta uske liye khul jaye (maslam shab-e-qadr, shaheed ka rutba milna, wagairah)

Allah hum sab ki umr aur rizk me barkat ata farmaye aur hame silarehmi karne ki taufeeq o rafeeq ata farmaye.

آمين
