Music Calms the Savage Beast

A fight broke out between two men. Among the bystanders was Pythagoras, the great mathematician and philosopher. Just as one of the combatants was about to strike the other with his sword, Pythagoras picked up his lute and plucked a single, clear note. Upon hearing this sound, the angry man lay down his sword and walked away.
Pythagoras' understanding of harmonic relationships helped him choose the one perfect tone that could pacify the man. The Touch of Healing - Alice Burmeister

Music has had a huge impact on my clients as I assist them with Cranio Sacral therapy. Many times as they are working through anger, fear, anxiety and panic, the music allows their body to unwind from the emotion and begin to relax. Other people come to let go of their daily stress and tension. Sometimes my clients will tell me about a pleasant memory that the music has reminded them of. Music allows us to temporarily forget unpleasant situations and calms us so we can be more positive and find solutions to problems.
