Music is something that transcends all geographical borders, historical timelines, and socioeconomic classes. It can be the simplest of forms with the humming of notes by one person or so complex that it takes hundreds of instruments to bring it to life. We know that music is often the soundtrack of our lives. When we are happy we blast tunes that echo that feeling and when we are sad, the lyrics we are drawn to often resonate so deeply with our intimate thoughts we feel the writer must have some super power of being able to literally look into our souls. They capture on paper and in sound what our bodies can’t find the words or language to express. But what if music did even more than that? What if it was medicine for our physical bodies and our minds? What if it could help us deal with the stress and trauma we have been carrying in our Proverbial backpacks? Join me as I talk to Tim Ringgold, a professional music therapist, author, musician, and dynamic motivational speaker as he shares his story about how music helped him after tragic losses and how he is using this 'musical medicine' to help others today.
