    There are many good institutions in our country where one can learn music by enrolling in the desired music course.
    Learning music is a good engagement as one can practice it as a pastime as well as enjoy and benefit by the great healing power of the music.
    Music is called the great healer by the scholars as it gives a soothing and calm feeling to the person listening it or practicing it. There have been case histories of mentally weak people who were attracted by the music well and had their moods changed by the effect of music on them.
    Even a normal person can be benefited by listening to music as it makes a positive effect on one's mood.

    Knowledge is power.

    Music makes our minds fresh and it makes us forget our sorrows. There is a Sanskrit Slokam which says that music will make all human beings including children and also animals happy. Even snakes will feel very happy when they hear music. When children are crying if we make them hear good music they become normal and stop crying. Some people hear music at night when they are not able to sleep. Slowly while hearing music they will get into sleep. I did the same personally many times.
    I am not a singer but I am a good listener of music. I like to hear light music and Karantic music. After working hard in the daytime, after we return home in the evening if we spend a few minutes hearing music, we feel refreshed. Music has a divine power which relieves all of us from mental sickness.

    In Psychology subject we learn about the healing properties of music. Music is called the elixir of happiness. A melody can make an excited mind calm and quiet. Music is a powerful tool if used in a proper way.
    There are some sayings about the great singer Tansen that when he sang some miracles happened like it started to rain or the atmosphere got divine light. That could be a hyperbole but the thing is that music has power of lifting up the mood of the people so much that they start feeling it physically in their surroundings.
    In our country we have a great heritage of classical music where everything is sung in a disciplined way creating an excellent sequence of melodies and musical compositions. That type of music lasts longer and can heal the mentally weak people significantly.

    Thoughts exchanged is knowledge gained.

    I will like to add that apart from its curing strength, music is a great pastime and soothes our moods in times of turbulence. There is no exaggeration if we say that music is the elixir of our lives.
    I have seen many people singing in low tune while working and it is a great way to keep attention and focus in the work on the background of the melodious and enchanting musical lines.

    Knowledge is power.

    I heard many times that music is a good remedy for some of the health problems. Practically I never met any person who relieved from health problems by hearing music. But when we are tired too much and want to relax we will have good relaxation if we hear the music we like.

    Any type of mental worries can be solved through music. This is not a new one but existing since the period of ruling by kings. In those days in the courtyard after discussions over, there was dances and musics. They were considered as relaxation/ relief from seriousness.
    We have studied in King Akbar's palace poet Thansen cured a serious illness through his music.
    In the life of Shiva devotee Thirunavukkarasar gave relief of a Pandya King who suffered from severe stomach pain, through his devotional songs (pathigam in Tamil).
    Recently Holi Shri Ganapati Sachithathaanda swamigal of Mysore Datta Peet proved that serious illness can be cured through his Music Therapy. We can refer His website for more in this connection.
    Simply speaking we,if keep listening music/melodious songs in a relaxed manager our serious illness or problem will get solved.

    Music is an incredible treatment for many of our health - issues. Our lives have become complex due to severe stress beyond our control. It does not apply to senior citizens because of their weak - immunity, it even holds good for young people as well who might not be able to dispel their fears and anxieties due to the prevalence of a complex situation of competition in all our working areas.
    Music might prove to be a great healer if could afford some time to listen to our favourite song. It has an immediate impact on our blood pressure levels. The effects are more pronounced if heard patiently our pet sings before our sleep - time. Even some hospitals are equipped with music for better mental health of the patients.
