The Healing Power of Music

Across various cultures and times, music has been a source of solace and healing for many. Whether as a piece of art that is received or as a piece of work created, the processes of engaging with music are multidimensionally enriching and invigorating. Music is known to aid the body and mind in wellbeing and everyone, from infants to octogenarians have felt the power of music being a space for connection, for upliftment and growth. In this edition of The Journal, we explore the healing space that music creates, both as a tool for therapy as well as for being a therapeutic space. In a tete-a-tete with Celine Burlot, who is a teacher and music therapist at Lilanoor, we delve into the nitty gritties of Music Therapy.
