The Music of Emotion

This very moment, there is a live music playing in you-the music of emotion. The music may be calm, dull, forceful, chaotic, loving or noble. By conceptually blending music and emotion, you can realize dynamic and aesthetic qualities of emotion. This is not only more true to the experience, it reflects the nervous system's dynamism and creativity. This book presents an alternative to the dominant models followed in mental health professions, which simplify and reduce emotion to labeled states & neurochemical fuel for human machines. The book will show how the mind & body play rhythms, tones and themes of: sources of emotion in your vulnerabilities and the protective forces they trigger;your capacity to center yourself from music that's disturbing, stuck, or self-defeating;your capacity to play beautiful, passionate music of integrity, love, Soul.
