Music has been recognized for its therapeutic value since ancient times. With significant advances in our knowledge of mind-body connection, a new form of therapeutic technique has emerged which combines traditional psychological therapies with the soothing effects of music – it's called Somatic Music Therapy.
Understanding Somatic Music Therapy
Somatic music therapy is an integrative discipline combining elements of bodywork, psychology, neuroscience, and music. It utilizes music as a medium to communicate and connect with the body on a deep level, facilitating healing and well-being. It works on the principle that our body and mind are not separate entities, but part of one interconnected system.
Central to this therapy is the belief that trauma, anxiety or stress are not just mental experiences. They leave imprints on our body, affecting our posture, movement, and even our organ functions. Somatic music therapy aims to release these physical imprints of emotional pain, providing relief and leading to holistic healing.
