Positive Impact on Children After Attending the Mindfulness Sessions

​

Use of Indian Classical Music with different types of ragas in mindfulness sessions show different level of positive impact. Certain ragas are observed to induce relaxation and calmness. The stress level in the children with autism also reduced. Also this study has shown that children are sensitive to rhythm patterns. Certain rhythm patterns have beneficial effects.

 

​

The study over a period of few years  appears to show increased level of personal interactions in the children with many of them attempting to discuss the music, attempting to sing and play it and trying to visualize the music by drawing pictures.  Some of the children in the sessions who never made eye contact and were withdrawn have come out of their cocoon and have now gone on to college and are even performing live music. Such is the power of these raga compositions.
