Reaching-out

Music is a way of Listening to someone in distress.

I further explore the benefits of music and faith in this article, through a real-life experience.

Reach-out for Help.

Today I received this call for Help.
Could it be Divine Intervention?
I felt God’s presence guiding me through the entire conversation.
It was a very rewarding day!
I had the opportunity to save a suicidal friend who reached out to me.

I’m not an hotline operator nor a psychologist and under no circumstances I intend to give any kind of professional advice.
Suicide is a serious condition requiring professional intervention.
Only when the suicidal person reaches out to us, it means they put all trust in our listening skills, therefore we must try our best.

Nowadays, people think stilted speech is synonym of high IQ…
Quite the contrary, simple speech in addressing complex subjects is.

Trust, Identification, Music.

I first LISTENED, then IDENTIFIED with him.
Once I gained his TRUST, I sent him music videos of my favourite artist David Bowie which worked magics.
He bursted in tears and thanked me profusely after the tracks.
The aftermath is confidential.

Music therapy and Self-regulation in ADHD.

It is scientifically proven the therapeutic potential of music in activating dormant or misplaced brain circuits.
Also, it has been recently demonstrated the dopaminergic nature of music, dopamine in notes, literally: Music plays the role of Self-regulation between Emotional, Cognitive, Behavioral functions, the 3 properties of Dopamine. 
For this purpose, Music earned itself the medical definition of Catalyst.
As studies continue, we may be up to a blowing breakthrough, anytime soon.

I can’t live without music. 

I’ll keep a close eye on latest research and won’t delay to report new findings.
