HEALING by BEAUTY SLOBODSKOY KRAY, Newspaper of the Kharkov Regional State Administration, August 31, 2006, Thursday. P. 8. (HEALING by BEAUTY- journalist Inna Pogorelaya has interviewed Irina Miroshnik) SPEAK that in China and some other countries publish the musical albums with unexpected names: "Digestion", "Migraine", "Liver". In addition, accept these products, as tablets or medical grasses. Concerning it I have shared the doubts with Irina Miroshnik (in a picture), the known psychologist - adviser, the candidate of psychological sciences, the pianist, the author of methods of "the Personalityality Oriented Computerized psychotherapy (POC-THERAPY) and "a Synergic Interactive Musictherapy (SIM)", awarded the silver and bronze medals on the 47-th WORLD EXHIBITION OF INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND NEW TECHNOLOGY BRUSSELS EUREKA. -Yes, it is "musical pharmacology", - a direction in which, by the way, has gone Russian clinical musical therapy. "The physiological symphony "or" Concert for a liver with an orchestra " is at all a joke. Enthusiasts in the different countries make " Medical music catalogues" and trade this music for health? in wholesale and retail. However the Swedish way of development of musicl therapy with its careful relation to the personality and understanding that music not only universal physiotherapy, but also powerful psychological means of self-organizing and development of the personality is closer to me. - In this year you had an opportunity to take part in rather significant event - in Royal musical college of Stockholm was held 5-th Scandinavian conference on musical therapy " Nordic Sound ", organized by the The Association for Music Therapy in Sweden... -Yes, " the Swedish school " (alongside with American) traditionally is considering as the founder of a music therapy. Therefore for Evgeny Vladimirovich Gavrilin my co-author, Cand.Tech.Sci., and me, was a great honor to receive the invitation to Stockholm and to be publishing in scientific materials of conference on music therapy where the newest achievements of known experts from Europe, USA, Australia and other countries were submitted. The paper in Stockholm we have named " The Modern Method of Personality-Oriented Musictherapy " . Many directions coexist in modern music therapy. In particular, at the Italian school of music therapy are developed effective techniques with which help it is possible essentially to improve a condition of patients with Syndrome of Down, by congenital deafness, Children with Autism, Children's Cerebral paralysis, and other heavy illnesses. By the way, as the full member of Federation of Italian Musictherapists (Federazione Italiana Musicoterapeuti, F.I.M., Bergamo), in 2003 I invited its president, the professor of music Giulia CREMASCHI TROVESI to Ukraine. Therefore, our experts had an opportunity to be acquainted with this direction of music therapy, first-hand. - As I understand, with the help of a special means you are doing a classical music closer, interesting and, that the most important, useful and clear for any person. What there are these means? Open, please, this secret! - There is such Greek word "Synergy?. It means mutual "assistance", amplification of several forces. Synergic music assists the personality in perfection of processes of self-control, harmonization of interaction between right (emotional - shaped) and left (rational - logic) hemispheres of a brain. - Irina, Help us to present session of musical therapy. How is it doing? - Okey, we shall take a fragment of record of one of sessions. I shall change some details (from reasons of a professional etiquette). A dying swan and the Phoenix bird - Hello, my name is Vera . The nice young woman enters into a study of the psychologist. Uncertainty and fear is read in depth of her big brown eyes. She complains of disturbing dream, tearfulness, and the obsessional fear of a death. On the computers screen my virtual assistant offers Vera to choose colors which are most pleasant to her at present time. After her choice, the computer psychologist changes a look on is sad - sympathizing and informs about infringement of her psychoemotional harmony. Then the computer program automatically finds music which most corresponds to Veras mental condition. - I have recollected this music, - the Vera suddenly speaks, - It is " the Dying swan", that danced Maya Plisezkaya. And at the end of music the fine swan dies... - Yes, Vera, we really listened to the musical play "Swan" from Saint-Saens suite "the Carnival of animals". And hundred years ago ballet master Michael Fokin has created a miniature on this music and has named it" the Dying Swan". However, for you I shall open secret: actually, the swan does not die! Saint-Saens music does not comprise an image of death. Moreover, it may be played differently. Listen "Swan" in my performance on a piano. I take the same notes, but I play with other internal image and feeling, I try to assist your improvement. (Readers can listen new performing Saint-Saens "Swan" by Irina Miroshnik in the Internet address http://compsyther.narod.ru/fan.html) - Well, now choose colors that you would draw, this music. Listening to music, the Vera chooses colors. The computer psychologist analyzes her color decision and, joyfully smiling, informs about restoration of internal harmony. Then, under our request, he compares two color choices and shows on the monitor, that the level of activation of nervous system has increased on 21 %, deviation from mental norm has decreased on 28 %, the stress has decreased on 32 % (has fallen up to zero). It is good me. What is a miracle such? - Vera asks. -The miracle? Remember, how people revive in fairy tales: Will spray to the ill or dead person dead water, and then water of life, and the personality revives. So we also have made with you. Only instead of water we have taken music. - In addition, your alive music still sounds in me as if the warm wave walks on all body. Any beautiful, strong bird sees to me. She is dancing pink flamingo or... - It is correct, Vera, this music - a hymn to beauty and a symbol of eternal revival. Is it the Phoenix bird, may be? Listen, as Hans Hristian Andersen describes her in a fairy tale: " the Bird Phoenix! Do you not know her, these paradises bird, and a sacred swan of Hymns? "."In a paradise garden under a tree of knowledge the Bush of Roses blossomed; the bird was born in the first Rose dismissed on it; feathers of her cast strange paints, flight of her was - light, singing - marvellous harmony "." The paradise bird whom each century perishes in a flame and again revives from ashes "... I Thank, Irina, we as if have visited on your session. However, I has question still: what is a secret of healing by beauty? - The secret consists in the same, what is a secret of "new" birth. Mysticism named it " the Dual bowl of life ". Experts in genetics a principle of complementary", on which double helix model DNA is constructed and transfer of inherited properties is carried out. We name it - the Complementary Psychology (from a latin word "complementum" - addition). A complementary structures approach to each other as a key to the lock: everyone finds in another own addition up to the whole. As the man and the woman. Incorporating, complementary contrasts derivate new?, which inherits their properties (" both that and another "). I shall notice, that on a principle of complementary which we count universal, it is constructed not only the SIM, the POC-THERAPY, double helix model DNA, interaction of hemispheres of a brain, but if to take a broad view extreme, - Harmony as a whole. The formation of Complementary Psychology, that is abilities to see in the friend not the enemy of the, and own addition up to the whole, - a key to overcoming conflicts, including political. - Irina, where is yours methods has applied in Ukraine now? - First of all - in sanatoria. Recently we have addressed in Welfare fund with the request to support " the Program of the psychological help to the population ". At the positive decision, each inhabitant Har'kovshchiny can take advantage of POC-THERAPY and Music Therapy in a place of work, study, rest and treatment.
