Tones and Being Tuned. Meeting Points between Hypnotherapy and Music Therapy

Man is tuned to environmental stimuli, mainly to human speaking since embryonic period. Attunement is secured by energy zones circling around body, which is considered to be the base of our music capacity. Origin of hypnotic susceptibility is viewed as being in embryonic period as well. Movements, experiences supposed, bonding and communication patterns of both of fetus and hypnotized person are suggested to show similarities. Effects of either hypnotherapy or music therapy are originated from an attunement as supposed by the author. Either to a hypnotherapist's suggestions or to a piece of music someone can be able to be tuned in. On one hand, the hypnotherapist's prosody, which can be called as melodic declamation seen as a musical phenomenon transmitting emotions. On the other hand, music has got emotional and visceral impacts. As a meeting points of these two methods the author emphasizes three possibilities considered as common phenomena both in hypno-and music therapy: 1. visceral senses, 2. paternal and maternal archetypes, 3. copings. The common roots of healing power of these two therapy methods are referred to attractors according to chaos theory.
