Music Therapy Course
Lesson 1 - Introduction
The course focuses and in an easy readable style on the basic laws, music examples and contemplations etc. all gathered from 30 years of experience in using music as a cornerstone in group work.

MTC - Lesson 1 - Introduction Lesson 5 - The Intuitive use of music
Music operates within a certain range of frequencies a certain level of consciousness; it has a message.
A piece of music will, by the law of resonance, bring us to its level of consciousness.
If the level the music operates on is above where we are, the music will tend to lift us.
If the music is on the same level as where we are, it will tend to lock us there.
If the music is below where we are, it will tend to drag us down.

MTC - Lesson 7 - Fantasy Journeys Lesson 9 - Music, the Aura and the Chakras
Use music to grow, to take the next step, not to fascinate.
In the context of aura and chakras, it means that we do not focus on music
as means to see the aura, but as means to be in the aura. Music is a powerful aid to expand the awareness into the aura, but it is difficult to generalise, the effect of the music depends on the attitude and general openness of the listeners, their spiritual beliefs and so on.

MTC - Lesson 6 - Groupwork Lesson 8 - Stanislav Grof and music as a stirrer
Grof writes:Good music seems to be of particular value in nonordinary states of consciousness, where it has several functions. It helps to mobilize old emotions and make them available for expression, intensifies and deepens the process, and provides a meaningful context for the experience. The continuous flow of music creates a carrying wave that helps the subject move through difficult experiences and impasses, overcome psychological defences, surrender, and let go.
