1. Objectives
The present study purposed to examine the contents and the principles of music therapy according to Oriental medicine theories in order to prove that music therapy is not a new research area but its principle is found in the long tradition of Oriental medicine.
2. Methods
We investigate the possibility of music therapy based on Oriental medicine theories and examine the meanings of music therapy from the viewpoint of Oriental medicine.
3. Conclusions and discussions
(1) The principles of music therapy are the principle of homogeneity, catharsis and balance.
(2) When one¡¯s mind changes, there are naturally occurred sounds, which are called Oseong (çéá¢: the oriental five voices exhalation, laughing, singing, wailing and groaning), and the notes defined by arranging the Oseong according to the principle of Ohaeng (çéú¼: the oriental five phases wood, fire, earth, metal, water) are Oheum (çéëå: the oriental five musical notes Gakeum, Chieum, Gungeum, Sangeum and Wooeum.). If Eum (musical notes) is classified into Ohaeng, it can be divided into Gakeum, Chieum, Gungeum, Sangeum and Wooeum.
(3) Change of Sinji (ãêò¤: consciousness) induces change of Gigi (ѨѦ: function of Gi), which can change the character of voices. Oseong controls the functions of Ojang (çéíô: the oriental five viscera) by ruling one¡¯s Jeongji (ï×ò¤: emotion). It can reduce the damage of the viscera caused by excessive vent of emotion resulted from unconscious expression of Oseong - Hoseong (û¼á¢: exhalation), Soseong (áÅá¢: laughing), Gaseong (Ê°á¢: singing), Gokseong (ÍÖá¢: wailing) and Sinseong (ãâá¢: groaning).
(4) Yijeongseungjeong (ì¤ï×ãï×: Control emotion with emotion) therapies, which suppresses an emotion by stimulating another, include Noseungsabeop (ÒÁãÞÖÛö: Control anxiety with anger), Heeseungbibeop (ýìãÝèÛö: Control sorrow with joyfulness), (ÞÖãÍðÛö: Control fear with anxiety), Biseungnobeop (ÝèãáþÛö: Control anger with sorrow) and Gongseungheebeop (ÍðãýìÛö: Control joyfulness with fear).
(5) Seongeum (á¢ëå: voices and musical notes) can be applied to a stimulation method that not only harmonizes the rhythm of living organs but also controls the occurrence of diseases caused by mutual Pyeonseongpyeonsoi (ø¶àüø¶áñ: relative preponderance and weakness) through direct induction of the strength and weakness of Gi function of the oriental five viscera in a human body according to the individual character. Sounds preferred by the patient, the material of an instrument selected by the patient, the character of rhythm and music expressed by the patient and the sound or voice uttered frequently by the patient can be considered in diagnosis and treatments for the patient¡¯s body and mind.
