Stress is known to be at the root of, or adds to, almost all human ailments.Stress has also been shown to shrink vital parts of the brain which influence cognitive ability and proper chemical levels in the body.
Rhythmic drum meditations can reduce that stress and produce neurogenesis (birth of new neurons).
Drumming has been shown to produce a significant decrease in stress hormone (cortisol) levels and increases Endorphins to relieve stress.
It has also been shown to increase motivation and is a successful and safe emotional release.
Drumming reduces muscle tension, decreases anxiety/agitation.
Group therapy reinforces inclusion and best of all; music therapy has no side-effects.
Music therapy, as an addition to standard care, helps people to improve their mental state. Regular Music Therapy can facilitate self-expression and provide a channel for transforming frustration, anger, and aggression into the experience of creativity and self-mastery.
