I have been using music therapy to help me when I am in pain. It
helps me a lot. I also use it to sleep at night. I have an
Enya cd and Sade that are both great for going to sleep -- also a
nature sounds one.
I used music therapy with my daughter growing up. I also used it
when I was in labor and delivery. :) My mom used it on her
students when she was a teacher. She is the one that turned me on
to it. She took some seminars as a teacher.
I have a music program on my computer that I can pull up almost any
artist and create play lists. I have found these to help me a
lot. It is also something joyful that I can still enjoy without
consequence.
I just thought I would share to give ideas to some of you that are
looking for some creative ideas for pain management. Anything to
make our quality of life more enjoyable.
i think you are so right on this. music that i like puts me in a new state of mind where i can deal with any pain or frustration i may have.
