This is just something that happened to me a month ago or so that I'd like to get some feedback on... I don't really know how EXACTLY it happened or just what took place, just that somehow through playing the piano I was able to heal myself of a cold. I'm untrained with my abilities and I'd like some insight on just what I did:
I had been sick for the past day and the cold had just reached its "worst" stage. I was home alone and decided I'd had enough of lying around in bed and wanted to play the piano - I've been playing since before I can remember and writing music is a HUGE emotional outlet for me. So I started playing one of my songs, a happier one that I wrote for my boyfriend, and suddenly I started feeling the energy inside of me moving around. On its own it seemed to expand and grow, and I helped it along by thinking about my specific faith and how happy I was to be so close to such a power, I encouraged it and let it fill me up inside until I felt as though I was about to burst from it. Then suddenly a wave of "purity feeling" I guess washed over me and I finished the song, coming back to Earth feeling energized, tingly, and peaceful.
When I had started playing the piano, I'd had a stuffy nose and head, achy joints, and felt really icky all around. When I finished playing, I felt ready to run a mile and my nose/head was clear. In about an hour I completely returned to normal health.
So yeah, I don't know anything about healing so any information you might have about what happened, how I did that, how I might be able to develop this ability in the future, etc. would be appreciated. ^^

a lot of our illness issues stems from our own negative thoughts about it, "oh, I'm not going to get better for several days" or "I have to wait to get medicine/wait for the medicine to start to kick in" or "I'm in the final stage of cancer, now all I can do is wait for death to take me." <~I know that's morbid, sorry, that's what my aunt is going through and it's on my mind... Anyway...a lot of these are pre-concieved in our own minds, a lot of this is told to us by our doctors, and a lot of it is told to us by those close to us. Yet, if we allowed it, we could heal ourselves with positive thoughts and peace. You managed to discover this when you told yourself you weren't going to let it get you down, and started playing music. In the case of my aunt...she says the things she hates most are the looks in people's eyes...the ones that say, "this is the last time I'm ever going to see you alive." I really believe she can pull out of it, if she wills herself to do it...I visited her recently...she was white as a ghost and could barely sit up. A meditation session later, and the color had returned to her face and she was walking around little. She could heal herself if she lets herself...but I'm afraid with all the negative "there's-nothing-more-that-can-be-done-for-you" attitudes that my relatives have...I dunno if she'll actually make it or not. Anyways...sorry for whoring the thread, I didn't mean to...but it's been bothering me lately and I needed to get it out. Glad you're doing well Part of it is music, definately...music changes our moods, our moods determine our attitudes, and our attitudes can help us heal. But I think music is...for lack of better terms....I guess just a side thing...really it's your own will and own positive affirmations of yourself. Your music gave you that. Music is not always needed, but it definately helps.

Did you know that Hipocrates (the oft called father of modern medicine) used music to heal his patients? Edgar Cayce also speaks of it being used in ancient Egypt as part of a holistic healing aproach in the Temple Beautiful. Currently there are more and more studies being done on the power of music to affect our moods. There's even a whole line of cds (see www.tuneyourbrain.com/ if you want more info) specifically designed for various different uses (pain, stress relief, energizing etc.) I have always felt a powerful sway from music and have to be very careful what I allow myself to listen to . .. . .sometimes I need to indulge in experiencing a particular feeling and I will be drawn to certain types of music but I can on occasion get drawn into wallowing that way! Grin.

Music is a very powerful thing. Not only if you play it, but also when you listen to it. Music can cause me to stream deep into meditation but it can also cause me to feel the contact with other people more deeply. I've always visualised music to be a guide in the waters of my subconsciousness.

Shaelyn: So sorry to hear that about your aunt, I really hope she recovers! My mother was sick with cancer for a long time before she passed away and sometimes I wonder if I'd known what I do now about meditating and spiritual healing, if I would have been able to help her at all during that time. I agree with what you said about our own personal affirmations and self will being the main part of recovering, but I have been doing some research on how music effects people with mental illness and stimulates certain parts of their brain to help them recover, so who knows, maybe there is something about music that can effect our body? We're all inherently vibrations, after all, maybe musical vibrations can cause change in our 'core' vibrations. PearlDancer: Not sure if I welcomed you to the board yet, but anyhoo, welcome! Thanks a lot for sharing what you know, I actually had no idea that music was so widely used in the past for healing, even though I read on a Music Therapy webpage that it was used as an anesthetic in the Civil War. I'll have to check out that website and maybe try some of that music. ^_^ Althrielle: I also listen to music sometimes when I meditate, though it's nice to have only silence too. What I love is when I'm meditating in silence, and then I begin to hear music, has that ever happened to you? Sometimes I'll hear music before I sleep at night.

Music's always been a sort of psychological/emotional cure for me; there is always a certain type of song that will "mesh" with my mood and either make me feel better or bring me down to earth again. There's also something about playing the piano that's addictive, and I guess because it's been such a large part of me from birth, I cannot remember a time when there was no song playing in my head.
Mum lectures me about obsessions but I have no doubt that this one's good for me, and other people as well.

@ CM: That happens to me all the time. "Navras" keeps popping up in my head when I'm doing big and important things though. Spiritual favourite. ;D

It's certainly healed me this morning of the anger I felt for a friend of mine... all that's left now is a desire to help everyone involved in the situation. Thanks again for reminding me that it's actually on my computer!
