Now, contemporary research worldwide is providing conclusive evidence that musical notes do have specific effects on the bodies of most living beings and human bodies are a veritable storehouse producing and resonating various rasas or emotional pulsations.
Music Therapy has gradually emerged as a potential means of addressing various health related problems in the wellness area and more specific medical therapeutic goals. There are  broadly two approaches to these goals.

• First, Music Therapy a Non-Invasive independent means of Wellness

There are any number of individuals with limited  knowledge of the subject  assimilating music as a means of mental solace, support to meditation, release of mental stress and means of recreation, exercising a personal choice of selecting and employing the music which is available to them, consciously reject what is not appealing to them.  Such individuals  can be evaluated, guided and trained by a Music Therapist to exercise these choices of selecting music which best helps them achieve their wellness goals.

• Second, Creating convergence……… music with and as medicine!!

Music Therapy here is part of a multi-disciplinary approach to alleviate trauma and pain,   physical and mental.   It supplements regular medical treatment of Trauma and Post-traumatic stress to improve mental, emotional and neurological imbalance.  It also finds employment in treating Pre and Post operative stress, consequent on emotional and physical loss – terminal illness, loss of limbs, senses, memory and the stress felt by family members and friends of victims and patients.
