Healing Music Used With Meditation - What Do You Believe?

In 1992 I was involved in an off road motor vehicle accident which left me with some lasting injuries.
After the accident, during the recovery period some friends introduced my wife and myself to healing music.
In October 2007, I woke up early one morning in excruciating pain, the result was paralysis in my arms and lasting chronic pain.
Overtime I regained very little movement in my arms and the pain was being managed with medications, which didn't always provide relief.
It has come to the point that it seems every time I go to the doctor the medication needs to be increased.
In July 2008 enough was enough - no more medication increases, the drugs were taking over the little bit of quality of life I had left, it was time to find an alternative healing solution.
As I told you earlier we were introduced to an alternative healing method in 1992 - Healing Music.
Over the years it has been beneficial in managing pain and other ailments such as depression and anxiety.
Over the past 6 months we added meditation along with the relaxation music to see if this type of added alternative healing would be beneficial - all I can say is WOW! What a huge difference this made in dealing with the chronic pain - while the pain is always there, meditation along with relaxation music has made such a huge difference in daily living.
This type of practice seems to embrace the pain in such a way it gives a break from the sharp agonizing pain to a more dull throbbing pain - much easier to handle for the short period it lasts.
While the results are lasting for approx.
30 minutes to an hour it is nice to have the break two to three times daily.
As meditation is demystified, the methods have become more modernized.
The belief that sitting in silence for 10 minutes to an hour everyday and actively concentrating on a breath, word or an image, can train you to focus on the present over the past and the future, exceeding reality by fully accepting it.
In today's form of meditation you focus on a sound or on your breathing.
As you focus on sound, breathing or new age music play the relaxation music softly in the background.
Meditation with healing music helps the brain undergo changes during deep meditation.
Music therapists will often use this method to help the client really focus into a deep state.
Personally after meditating with healing music I have felt more alive, more alert, less stressed and re-energized.
As a result of my situation this feeling last for an hour or less but it is like going for a swim in the hot sun, the cold water provides a refreshing feeling - this is how meditation and healing music works for me.
I have tried many types of healing music with meditation - I find Mark Romero Music works best in my situation, as it is relaxing, healing music.
