Hi

Searching albums of meditation and music therapy, i found this interesting website : :rolleyes:
http://www.tumata.com/ContentDetail.aspx?cid=33&SM=2#

They sell a lot of CD and books. I didn't heard it. Somebody know this work of makam therapy ?!

Hi,

I don't know that much about the topic, but there has been some reporting in the mainstream UK and US media about Sufi music therapy in Turkish hospitals: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/aug/28/turkish-doctors-tradit... and http://www.pri.org/stories/2012-04-27/turkey-sufi-music-used-decrea...

My wife and I used some Sufi recordings to accompany rocking our son to sleep when he was a baby. This was our favorite: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S594UO?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1... (It's not necessarily what I would choose to listen to in general, but was great for the specific purpose of baby calming.)

I've always been interested in this subject since I think the Oud keeps me healthy mentally and physically. Thanks for sharing!
