Rose Grace

Purpose: A personal journey to recovery and functionality explores the healing powers of music and eastern medicine on the human mind and body to overcome life’s greatest challenges. These experiences resulted in the establishment of a holistic, interactive practice model, which combines the power of music and the human brain with effective eastern approaches, validated by western medicine, to achieve optimal performance of mind and body. By raising awareness and education about these alternative strategies, the model aims to improve the health, wellness and longevity of communities across the nation. Additionally, by sharing preliminary results from the 2019 Symposium study, the article further substantiates the effectiveness of the proposed model to attain optimal mindbody balance.

Methodology: A total of 42 Concert Chorale participants. Using medically validated pre and post study questionnaires, via electronic data collection (anonymously assigned ID #s), to measure the group’s performance outcomes and mind/body awareness observations.

Results: Pre-study questionnaire: 74% of the total participants experienced some type of physical discomfort >3, on a scale of 1-10. Post-study questionnaire, following the martial arts routine: 38% felt less stiff; 71% were mentally more focused; and 81% had more energized breath support.

Conclusion: A great need and interest exist for an interactive, holistic practice model, easily lending to customization and scalability, to bridge eastern and western medicine with the powers of music and the human brain to promote a natural balance of mind and body, ensuring wellness and longevity of society.
