Visit with Music That Heals If you're like me, the thought of facing a visit with a friend or family member who is sick or maybe nearing the end of their life is frightful. The worst part of it is my feelings of utter helplessness. As our population grows older, many of us will soon be facing more of these challenges and you'll be happy to have with you a copy of The Blessings of Music. The Blessings of Music, by James Schaller C.M.P., is a book with two music CDs that equips and encourages the reader to visit and take therapeutic music to someone who is sick, recovering from injury, suffering from dementia or near the end of life. The reader will learn visitation skills, ideas for conversation and readings, and discover how music affects our physiology. In several minutes they will understand how to share the gift of therapeutic music that can help to relieve pain and anxiety. The book comes packaged in an attractive, durable vinyl case along with the two CDs The booklet is divided into three sections. Section One presents interesting information on how music affects our bodies and emotions. We learn about the nature of sound and music, and how certain types of music can bring therapeutic benefits to different types of patients. If we have an immediate need to visit someone, the author advises us to go immediately to Section Two. Here we learn solid visitation skills, what to talk about, cliches to avoid, and how to introduce music to the person with whom we are visiting. Included in this section is also an essay on how we can remain 'present' when visiting with someone who is suffering. Section Three provides the reader with ideas on how to play an instrument or sing at the bed side, and ideas for reading poetry, Scripture or other materials along with music. Also included are resources for additional research and study.
