Healing Music

The story of the healing of a seriously sick newborn baby through the music of Bach, music which was born in heaven, as told by the mother of the baby who is one of my readers.

Valentine's Day

    This is my contribution to Valentine's Day, a story of healing love through the power of music.

Reader Response

    In my 2001 Christmas article, "Comfort ye . . . ," I told of the emotional comfort and healing which I received while participating in a Messiah production. One of my readers posted a personal story in the discussion. She tells of the healing which her seriously sick newborn baby received while listening to Bach on her Walkman. Here is her story, and I have her permission to share it with you.

Music and Healing

    I know firsthand about the healing power of music. My son was born with pneumonia, and for a few days we weren't certain he would survive. I was only allowed to hold him for a few minutes every hour or so and when I fed him, but I stayed with him constantly.
    Since I love music I had brought tapes and a Walkman to the hospital, and they helped me as I watched and waited beside my son's isolette. One day when it was time for me to hold him I was listening to Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."
    Instead of turning the tape off and removing my headphones I slid them down onto my neck and turned up the volume a bit.
    As I held my son, staring into his face, I began to notice a gradual change. His body was relaxing and his cheeks were taking on a rosy tinge. And something else: his breathing was smooth and regular. I am certain it was the music. He had begun responding to music while still in the womb, kicking so hard for some pieces of music that I was sore afterwards. We took him home the next day, and now, at the age of 15, music is his passion.
    Peace and Love, Paper Turtle

Children love action, and they are in no way inhibited to perform in front of people. They actually loved everything we did and got very upset if they had to miss a Sunday, even if they were sick. T ...
