The Power And Miracle of Music Therapy | Music Therapist Dr.Rajam Shanker | Gopal Raj Labs

There are places in us that medicine cannot reach. That conversation cannot reach. That medical treatment cannot reach. But music surely can — that's music therapy. Board-certified therapists use rhythm, pitch, and sound with intention: helping a child with autism build communication, helping a veteran process trauma words can't reach, helping someone with dementia find their blurred memory. Today, we sit down with Dr. Rajam Shanker, Music Therapist and Founder of Rajam's Gurukulam. She works alongside medical and rehabilitation professionals and institutions to bring the healing power of Indian classical music into clinical practice, and is the author of The Healing Powers of Indian Ragas.
