Music is such a dynamical, mighty drug that works beyond medicine. This doesn’t mean we replace medicine. Medicines are life-savers, and we need honest medicine.
Beyond medicine means that while medicine continues to do its job, we mustn’t lose focus on all the possibilities that exist in this massive universe above and beyond traditional treatment that can help us get better. Music is one of them.
“Music has the power of healing, and it has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours. Music is the aspirin for the pain in the body”-Opines Hirav Shah, Renowned Business Advisor & Strategist.

Explanation
Music therapy is music’s use to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of a group or individual. It includes a wide range of activities, such as listening to melodies, playing an instrument, drumming, writing songs, and guided imagery. Music therapy is suited for people of all ages, whether they are virtuosos or tone-deaf, struggling with illnesses or totally healthy.
Music therapy does touch all aspects of the mind, body, brain, and behavior. Music can provide a distraction for the mind, it can slow the rhythms of the body, and it can alter our mood, which in turn can influence our behavior for the better.
Who Can Benefit!
Empirical research has proved that music therapy can have many emotional, cognitive, and developmental benefits for patients and people who choose this form of psychological intervention.
But, who can benefit !!
Well, pretty much anybody—music therapists are hired in a wide variety of medical, mental health, and educational settings. And if there are no professional therapists available, you can be your therapist. Yes, indeed…
Firstly, Famed Business Enhancement Leader Hirav Shah discusses the specialized cases who can certainly, immensely benefit from music therapy.
Music therapy Benefit
a. Kids/ Adults On The Autism Spectrum.
Music therapy can offer kids or adults a unique way of interacting with peers, parents, and caregivers within improvised or structured music.
b. Older Adults Down With Alzheimer’s Disease.
There are plenty of instances where Alzheimer’s patients were able to sing every single word of their favorite songs, despite being unable to produce any other meaningful speech. Music can be one of the few things that grounds them in reality and ties them to their identity.
c. Children/ Adults, Who Are Compromised Medically.

There are many hospitals all across the world, where creative arts therapies are renowned for offering hospitalized children or adults and their families a means of coping with challenging circumstances and expressing themselves in healthy ways.
Now, Hirav Shah discusses the generalized cases, who surely can immensely benefit from music therapy.
It aids in alleviating stress, anxiety (i.e. it is seen that, when children have fears/anxiety/stress about going to the dentist, after hearing music during procedures, they tend to have lesser symptoms of anxiety/stress).
Same can be said for someone who suffers from pain (which can be acute/chronic pain conditions), it can be used as a method of/for relaxation or as a distraction technique, as it has been found to be super effective in reducing/distracting people from the pain they may be experiencing.
Final Thoughts
Music is a sound that makes a pleasing sensation. It is brought on by nature, musical instruments, human voice, etc. Noise is an unwanted and unpleasant sound produced by horns of vehicles, by machines, etc. If a musical sound is made too big, it becomes a noise.
Music goes beyond just helping us feel good when we are stressed out. Whether it’s singing, listening, chanting, or playing a musical instrument, all are forms of music therapy, and you can start it right now. Let your success be the NOISE. In the journey towards success, you will meet many people who are salutary at commenting and will do what it takes to take you down. So work hard in silence with music as your partner.
“It’s working amazingly well for many people in the world and there is sufficient scientific evidence to support this, and you must try it too, to enhance your health, lifestyle, happiness, and joy. Start with just one song, but start this therapy”- Suggests Hirav Shah, Business Transformation Expert Of International Repute.
