Music therapy is a paramedical discipline that uses sound, the music and movement to cause "regressive" effects and open channels of communication with the aim of activating the socialization process. It's therefore a psychotherapeutic technique to improve the quality of life, rehabilitate and recover, where it is possible. Using musical listening to heal and prevent, among other things, nourish literally the body with the sound and use the sound to discover the dimensions hidden in the depths and to accelerate the process of evolution of consciousness. We distinguish a phase of "hearing" sounds as a peripheral bound phenomenon to the ear, a phase of "feeling" that would be placed above all in the thalassic functions, to get to "listen" to the music, with a global involvement of our nervous system and psychic functions at this connected. In addition to emotion, music involves reactions on the listener of the vegetative sphere: we are witnessing changes in blood pressure heart rate, breathing, etc., but mostly even when the music is perceived unconsciously. Music should be considered on the one hand a non-verbal language, on the other a emotional communication medium. In the course of our daily life we all experience different "states of consciousness". For example, in the span of one day, between the morning light and the dark of the night, we move from an ordinary waking state to the different stages of sleep. But even "extraordinary" states of consciousness are part of our common experience: when we feel particularly "creative", unusually "intuitive", exceptionally "lucid", deeply "relaxed". Ordinary, or extraordinary, all the stages of ours consciousness are due to the incessant electrochemical activity of the brain, which manifests itself through "electromagnetic waves": brain waves, in fact. The frequency of these waves, calculated in 'cycles per second', or Hertz (Hz), varies depending on the type of activity in which the brain is engaged and can be measured with electronic apparatus. Scientists commonly divide these waves into "four bands", which correspond to four frequency bands and which reflect the different "activities of the brain". Delta waves They have a frequency between 0.5 and 4 Hz and are associated with the deepest psychophysical relaxation. The less frequent brain waves are those of the unconscious mind, of dreamless sleep, of total abandonment. In this sense they are produced during unconscious processes of self-generation and self-healing. Theta waves Their frequency is between 4 and 8 Hz and they are proper to the mind engaged in activities of imagination, visualization, inspiration creative. They tend to be produced during deep meditation. The dreams with open eyes, the REM phase of sleep (ie, when you dream). In waking activities, theta waves are the sign of knowledge intuitive and of an imaginative capacity rooted in the depths. Generally they come associated with creativity and artistic attitudes. Alpha waves They have a frequency ranging from 8 to 14 Hz and are associated with one alert but relaxed state of consciousness. The mind, calm and receptive, is focused on solving external problems, or on achieving a light meditative state. Alpha waves dominate in moments introspective, or in those where the concentration is most acute achieve a specific goal. They are typical, for example, of the brain activity of who is engaged in a session of meditation, yoga, taiji. Beta waves They have a frequency ranging from 14 to 30 Hz and are associated with normal waking activities, when we are focused on external stimuli. The beta waves are in fact the basis of our fundamental activities of survival, ordering, selection and evaluation of stimuli that come from the world around us. For example, reading these lines your brain is producing beta waves. They then allow us to faster reaction and quick execution of actions. In moments of stress or anxiety beta give us the opportunity to keep the situation under control and give a quick solution to problems. In 1665 the Dutch physicist and mathematician Christiian Huygens, among the first to postulate the wave theory of light, observed that, by placing side by side and on the same wall two pendulums, these tended to tune their own oscillatory movement, almost "they wanted to take the same rhythm". From his studies derives that phenomenon that today we call 'resonance'. In the case of the two pendulums, it is said that one makes the other resound to the own frequency. In the same way and by the same principle, if one strikes a tuning fork, which produces waves at a fixed frequency of 440 Hz, and places it near a second tuning fork 'silent', after a short interval the second one also begins to vibrate. Resonance can also be used in the case of brain waves. Studies that used the electroencephalogram showed a clear correlation between the stimulus coming from the outside and the brain waves of the subject under examination. Initially, research in this field mainly used the light; then, we switched to sounds and electromagnetic stimulations. What observed is that if the brain is subjected to impulses (visual, sonorous or electric) of a certain frequency, its natural tendency is to tune in. The phenomenon is called 'frequency response'. For example, if a subject's brain activity is in beta wave band (therefore, in the waking state) and the subject is subjected to a certain period at a 10 Hz stimulus (alpha waves), his brain tends to change his activity in the direction of the received stimulus. The subject then passes to a state of relaxation proper to alpha waves.
