THE PIECE OF FRUIT DANGLED ON THE END OF HIS FORK...
I had just arrived at the hospice and asked the supervisor what patients might be interested in music.
“You might try Bob, but I don’t know, he just arrived yesterday and has been difficult with the staff.”
I walked to Bob’s room and found him sitting in bed eating lunch while watching clips from World War II combat on the TV. (hey....welcome to daytime Televsion!)
I introduced myself and asked if he would like to hear some music that many find restful. Well he hemmed and hawed…..and finally agreed. I asked if I could turn down the volume on the TV. (That's my deal, TV sound off or no music : - )
I pulled up my chair close to the bed and began to play. Research has found that it takes about 7 minutes for music to affect a person’s physiology. After about 6-7 minutes Bob’s fork stops just short of his mouth with a piece of grapefruit dangling at the tip of the fork. He’s staring off somewhere….no longer at the TV.
I played music that is designed to be therapeutic and restful. I could see that Bob's breath had slowed considerably and his pulse was steady and slow.
After about 30 minutes (HIS FORK HAD NOT MOVED FOR MOST OF THAT TIME) I stopped and sat quietly with him in that beautiful silence after the music. Bob turned slowly to look at me and said: “If I had known there was that kind of beauty in the world, I may not have ended here.”
What could I say? I was totally unprepared for such a comment, and I’ve never forgotten Bob. He passed on a few days later and the supervisor told me that he had experienced a difficult life and that time spent with him playing at the bedside probably meant more to him than I would ever know.
So, you’re asking, “How can this type of music help me?” The music of RECOVERY can provide the following benefits:
- Reduce anxiety which aggravates pain
- Facilitate deep rest
- Distract from pain and complements other pain treatments
- Elevate the immune system
- Lower and stabilize blood pressure
- Lower the breath and heart rate for better rest
- Soothe and comfort your mind and nurture your spirit

Dr. Oliver Sacks, neurologist and a leading researcher on Parkinson's Disease, Tourette's Syndrome, and Alzheimer's says, "Whenever I get a book on neurology or psychology, the first thing I look up in the index is music, and if it's not there, I close the book."
Whether you’re a new Mom recovering from birth, battling a chronic ailment, or home with a bad cold, maybe your child is sick and having bad dreams, this music can bring comfort and rest.
You will never know how much your wisdom and inspiration has added to our program. As a healthcare minister I recommend the inspiration and devotion of James Schaller. James’ gift for composition, experience and talent allows for healing and transition.”
Rev. Joyce Blair Buekers, MDIV, MBA, Pastoral Couselor/Integrative Therapies, Hospice of the Valley, Phoenix
The music offered on RECOVERY is played with a mostly steady rhythm that is useful for stabilizing biorhythms when a stable heart and breath rate are desirable. It is performed lovingly by a very experienced Music Practitioner from Atlanta, Angi Bemiss. Together with its companion CD, RESPITE, and THE BLESSINGS OF MUSIC booklet you will have the information, skills and resources to use healing music for yourself, your patients and loved ones.
I attended The Blessing of Music seminar in the Lancaster area last year. I purchased the package with both CDs and book and have used them many times when visiting patients and also for quiet times at home. They have been a blessing in both areas. Thank you for The Blessings of Music.
