yupW.A,S,P blind in texas does it for me!
Glad Slayer does it for you! I think the healing relates to previous neural networks set up to receive certain input. For me it was meditation music as I used to work listening to it all day long while giving treatments! Any music you used to listen to has been stored and by re-accessing it, there comes a peacefulness to the nervous system in recognition in something familiar when all else appears unfamiliar coping with brain injury impact.
You can use this same technique for smells, walks you used to do ie places to visit, things you used to eat and of course seeing those you used to touch and who touched you, can help.
By accessing old neural networks which have strongly built repetitively used fibres, the bits that are injured somehow can copy them and rebuild. By using the old thickly wired system, we remind our brain that the thin, damaged, scarred, broken bits need replacement. And given the right support through diet, surroundings and peace, it gets on with it, no fuss.
This is why I moved back to live near the school I attended for 8 years from 8 - 16years old. In the beginning I didn't recognise the area, but knew I should! Eventually all the memories came back and with it functionality for all other areas. I also walked regularly in the areas I used to play from 5-14 years old. This helped a lot to calm and soothe.
If you live locally to your earlier wired brain, go walk the routes, feel the old you come back...
All the Best
Yes, our brain will crave something it recognises and if there is the added fun of amnesia, you will go back a point which is clearest in your memory or maybe, a very happy time. For me, I felt that it must be the late `80s and I had just graduated. It was actually 2001 but all the music of that time seemed to be everywhere on the radio. My kids were impressed that I knew the songs, but I had heard them done (much better) 20 years before. I was also badly missing one particular nurse who had been really kind and reassuring to me and he was Irish, so I gravitated towards Irish music, which seemed to relax me. My family teased me but I didnt care. We just need to listen to ourselves and follow whatever helps us. Complex old thing, the brain, eh? But we all know that better than most. Happy Wednesday to all x
One word..Disturbed. I am so Down with the Sickness.
At first I thought you meant listen to metal like steel, iron etc but then I followed the link it said heavy metal music... and I shut the tab down quick in case they played any because it would send me into a total tailspin...
Lol, iforget !
I guess it's a case of each to their own : ) x
Its not a matter of personal taste... I find music very difficult a lot of the time. Anything too loud, "screechy or screamy", with repetitive beat, too much bass etc just sends me into meltdown. Summer in the city is difficult because cars are blaring music, people throw open their windows and blast sounds into the street and it just makes me plain dizzy.
I used to love listening to music of all kinds depending on my mood (and the time of day cos I did not want my neighbours to hate me ) but now I can only listen occasionally and to certain kinds of music and different times... Sadly some of my favourite songs are like a jack-hammer to the head since my injury
Still on bad brain days there are always the soothing tones of Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith eh?
I used to like such music and others, but I find it too jarring now. I find some tv quite hard QI is one the sound levels dramaticly rise and fall.
