Listening to music means to become totally and completely absorbed in the music in both body and soul. It further means not allowing oneself to become distracted (the elevator effect) by extraneous stimuli in one's environment while seriously listening to music. It is always important to remember that music is an ultimate healer of mind, body, and soul. As a physician, I am able to cut into a body in order to correct a condition; however, it has been my long-time observation that music has the power to help the body to heal itself.
