| Music Serving the Art of Healing | ||

Linking up to this we are, in a multi-layered research plan, encouraging medical scientists in the fields of
to research the significance
for medicine of the microcosm of music.
The systematic investigation
and focused application of the microcosm of music in the field of medicine
appears sensational in so far as it is possible today, for the first
time, to grasp musical structures both qualitatively and quantitatively,
to arrange them in order and to relate their parameters to those of
the medical measurements objectively and with reproducibility on a scientific
basis. | ||

Ever
more doctors, as well as medical research as a whole, are moving more
and more clearly towards holistic medicine – towards medical treatment
which involves the entire being rather than just only one aspect of the
physical problem. Modern doctors want to see their patients healed holistically and this objective directs them to an integrated medicinal effect on body and soul. What medium could be more suitable as a psycho-physiological influence than the medium of naturally structured music? With the objective, focused and natural medical-musical harmonisation of the psycho-physiological functions lies before us an almost entirely untapped potential for holistic treatment and naturopathy. Naturopathy is ideally the knowledge about the natural healing power of living organisms. The organisms themselves possess this knowledge by virtue of their evolutionary nature, it being an inherent part of their evolution. However, it has always been very difficult for man to gain focused insight into this natural realm of the self-healing of living organisms – let alone achieve a comprehensive understanding of it. Thus, man has been experimenting for centuries in diverse ways, to activate and strengthen the natural healing processes. | ||
