(PRWEB) December 1, 2004 -- Music has always been a very important part of
our lives, from childhood to our being an adult. As a part of our experience,
music can have both a physiological and psychological affect upon us as human
beings. In addition to the influence that it has on our life, music also has
many therapeutic qualities and has been utilized in promoting a variety of
healings throughout the ages. As we know further, music can be a very powerful
medium for altering our state, of changing how we actually feel. More
specifically music can be very effective in producing a very deep and healing
state of relaxation and in the process, reduce stress and even promote sleep.
Music can also be used to assist one in improving his or her self-esteem and
furthering an individual’s personal growth and development, even his or her
transformation and recovery.
As a therapist working with individuals in
recovery at the drug rehab center
Holistic Addiction Treatment Program, I always use therapeutic relaxation music
in my clinical and counseling work. I have repeatedly found that when I use
therapeutic relaxation music during both an individual and group counseling
session that my clients do more productive work, are able to focus more
effectively on themselves and the issues that they are becoming present to
because they are more relaxed, focused and centered and as a result, better able
to concentrate. Being relaxed during the counseling process always tends to
generate more productive results for the individual being counseled. Therapeutic
relaxation music can be a very effective and powerful aid for assisting a client
to reach resolution with respect to that which he or she is working on with
their mental health or addiction counselor.
The relaxation music that I now utilize during both my individual and
group counseling sessions with those in recovery at the Holistic Addiction
Treatment Program is that which is found on the CD, Prescription for Stress. The
musical patterns that are on Prescription for Stress were originally developed
for my work in counseling and especially in my hypnotic work with clients. In
addition to its application for a traditional counseling session with those in
recovery, the musical patterns on Prescription for Stress are excellent for
assisting in the induction of a hypnotic state in that this music helps the
client enter into a very relaxed state of hypnosis more easily. In the past I
have used a variety of other musical compositions in my counseling practice but
was very dissatisfied with the results that my clients and I achieved with them.
As a musician I eventually decided to compose my own music and have found the
results of my compositions with the clients that I work with to be excellent.
After using the therapeutic relaxation music that I composed for my work in
counseling, I also discovered that the music had another application as well,
that is, to assist anyone in achieving a very deep state of relaxation and as a
result to effectively and efficiently reduce the stress in their lives. As we
know, managing stress is especially important for those in
recovery.
Managing our stress is very important
if not crucial to our overall well being. This ability to manage stress is
especially important for a person in the first stages of his or her recovery.
Prescription for Stress, a two CD set, is an audio health care product specially
designed to assist an individual in managing and reducing the stress that he or
she may experience on a daily basis. This audio health care product utilizes two
components to assist a person in effectively experiencing a very deep state of
relaxation, reducing stress and also in promoting a peaceful, restful sleep. The
first component is the musical pattern itself. I have found that musical
compositions that are harmonically slow, repetitious, with sustained voices,
which are rhythmically, random in tempo assists an individual in experiencing a
very deep state of relaxation. The second component of this product is the
binaural audio tones that are interwoven into the music. The binaural tones,
through a process referred to as “entrainment” or “frequency following,” gently
guides or directs the mind/body to generate more of the targeted frequency of
brain wave activity whether it be for either profound relaxation or sleep. The
first CD of Prescription For Stress contains binaural audio tones within the
alpha and theta range, which induces a very relaxed state. The second CD of the
two CD set contains binaural audio tones within the delta range and thereby
assists one in experiencing a peaceful, restful sleep.
Anyone can experience
the technology and effect of Prescription for Stress by merely playing it on
their home audio system. Use of this powerful therapeutic relaxation music can
be accomplished by listening to it with ones stereo speakers or with headphones,
the latter being the more effective way to listen to his product. Listening to
Prescription for Stress with headphones allows one to experience the full effect
of the technology, the uniquely designed music compositions combined with the
binaural audio tones and thereby gain a deeper state of relaxation. Those who
practice meditation, self-hypnosis or yoga, modalities that are also utilized at
the Holistic Addiction Treatment Program, will find that their practice is even
more enhanced while listening to this audio product. I highly recommend that all
mental health and addiction counselors use this type of product when conducting
counseling sessions with their clients whether it is in a group or individual
setting. While many counselors are not present to the power of this type of
therapeutic relaxation music when utilized within a counseling context, those
who do employ it find that their sessions with a client to be more effective and
productive due to the reason stated above. At the Holistic Addiction Treatment
Program this music is utilized daily to enhance and further the counseling
process with those in recovery.
