My personal fascination is music as medicine , and the use of the conga drum and drum beats to energize the brain tree . It is one thing to make connections , but if there is no structure to make the connections with , it does not matter what is going on . I feel that we are tranferring this structure that normally would be formatted by rythms , onto the computerized mechanics that we call AI -- in lieu of understanding the primary structuring of our natural tree like brain structure .
Healing in general is about making new connections , repairing connections , and preventing disconnection -- getting back to base , what I like to call it . I want to study this article more and will comment if I think I have anything valuable to offer .
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jennifer. I agree with you on the importance of music in healing. When we look at the healing practices of indigenous cultures, we do see a significant use of musical forms––such as chanting, song, dance, drumming, etc. I know the impact of music in healing has been studied in Western medical contexts as well, but it is an age-old understanding. This brings us back to the consideration of medicine as art, as something that possesses a rhythm, a melody, a resonance. I look forward to any further thoughts from you in response to the essay!
