Music therapy

Musical Notes and Emotions

Dr. Riccardo Misto

Insight

The article analyses the formal and therapeutic aspects of the musical scales used in the practice of Nāda Yoga as a fundamental means to transform emotional energy blocks which, on a psychosomatic basis, are considered one of the main causes of physical, physiological and psychological problems. On the base of the monodic modal, the musical system used in Indian classical music, it is possible to assign a precise emotional value to each of the notes that make up an octave. This makes it possible to safely and objectively apply the singing practice of sound patterns to any subject, regardless of nationality, culture and personal experiences. Two cases are reported with details of this therapeutic practice. Read more...

To be conscious of the Divine Presence is the only panacea. Aspiration is essential. The author describes a simple practice to help make this shift. Read more...


Perspective

The Third Method of Research in Psychology

Manoj Pavithran

Insight

Research in psychology, these days, are predominantly following the objective scientific method and its underlying worldview of materialism. While this method has its place, the very method limits the scope of our understanding and the perspectives we can get through it. On the other hand, there are other methods of research, particularly Vedic, that are hardly known or used these days, methods that rely on higher-order cognitive faculties. This paper is an attempt to discern between three different methods of research to show the need for understanding and using the Vedic or Yogic method of research in psychology that can give us a method appropriate for the domain of research.
