Wonderful stories ... I love singing and sharing stories at senior centers. It is always a wonderful time. I love their coming alive and sharing their stories with me. The music opens the doors so so much more.

Music can make you happy or make you cry.
It can make you dance or help you to rest.
But most of all, music can heal.
It's the kind of medicine that we all need, for treating sadness and creating happiness.
Get music now!
It can be a way to improve your health...

I recently completed my internship in Music Therapy and I would like to share a story with all of you. I was interning in a facility in White Plains, NY. Every Saturday I would drive up and work with children of different age levels and disabilities from Autism, ADD and Cerebral Palsy. These were group sessions making individual time very difficult to give but I had a connection to one child in particular that no one paid much attention to. It appeared that she had been going their for many years and becoming harder to reach. I sat with her, sang to her, held instruments for her and encouraged her during my time with her. When my time was coming to an end, the group leaders were amazed by her and so was I; by the time I left she was joiniung in the activities and was singing. Not perfectly but for her it was a tremendous accomplishment. The experience has made a world of difference to me and reafirmed my commitment as a music therapist. It may appear to others that no one is home but they are just sitting in the dark waiting for someone to surprise!

I've sung in senior citizen care facilities, and it's so amazing to see how even if they can't dance, their faces become younger! Those who are able to dance just display so much youth and happiness!!! Music is INDEED food for the soul from the youngest to the oldest.

Wonderful! I'm already doing that from singing in shelters, parks, to single mothers, to the homeless. And I'm loving it!
Jaijai, what a wonderful mission you've undertaken to create such a place for artistic minds to meet and share their hearts. A place to renew faded determinations, and revive lessened momentums. A place to display our wares and reconfirm to one another that we actually are on the right track.
I commend you, Jaijai, for caring so much that you created this castle of the heart for all of us. I want to share my praise for all of the new friends as well as old friends that I've met and will meet here in our castle. Here we can garnish the where-with-all, the strength, the conviction, and the selflessness through our symbiosis, to share our gift to the world with an unbiased agenda.
My mentor, Daisaku Ikeda says of art: "A beautiful flower delights and refreshes the hearts of all people equally, no matter what soil it grows in. That is the power of beauty. The same is true of great art. It is this spirit that the German poet Heinrich Heine sang of when he wrote that once the peapod bursts open, the sugar peas inside are for everyone to enjoy."
Let's be audacious, my friends!
