Musical Healing

I am a big believer in the recuperative powers of music. I haven't seen any studies on the subject, but it stands to reason that anything that helps the state of mind could have a positive impact on the body as well. So -- which artist do you turn to while convalescing??

For me, it's Grover Washington Jr.

Good thread K; I'm not a major fan of classical music, but for "healing" purposes, I do like soft soothing chamber music-- could definitely be by Mozart. Outside of light classical though, I like the Cowboy Junkies ballads, and smooth jazz ballads by Shirley Horn, Jacintha, and others. Cheers. Craig

I used to play Keith Jarret for a severely ill and psychotic young man, who was mutistic, would hardly move and eat. It put some life into him, everytime we did this. I also helped to alleviate a very severe case of edogenous depression ( we were thinking of ES ) with Bach's Well Tempered Clavier with good and lasting results.
