Healing Powers of Music

Picture
Music is a universal method of healing that greatly benefits people of all ages.

Music therapy helps form new neural pathways in the brain, alleviating painful emotional triggers associated with grief and loss.

Collaboration:
​
DDJF is excited to have such knowledgeable grief and loss professionals, experts, and medical providers to collaborate with, learn from and expand our resources to all those in need of healing. There is incredible research that shows that drumming circles (which are a part of the DDJF Music Heals program), help the lives of patients living with Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Parkinson's: to Dr. Alex Pantelyat at John Hopkins has been a guest on our Power of Love show where he discussed how music programs involving drum circles have helped patients with Parkinson’s disease. “Music speaks to people in a way that regularly talking cannot.” “The rhythm itself drives changes in the brains of people with Parkinson’s, which can meaningfully improve walking, balance and potentially prevent falls.”

The Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas uses music to improve the quality of life for brain health patients and caregivers. It helps with motor skills, communication, memory, perception, emotion and expressions. https://fb.watch/g6DrINy42y/
