Limb Independence As Meditation

By Jon Berghouse

"Limb Independence as Meditation" is a guide into developing coordination and independence between the body's limbs as an attempt to lead the participant into an untraditional form of meditation. In these exercises, the participant can begin to use their limbs independently, which is a unique skill that drummers are trained to do. Developing limb independence is a kind of mental and physical control that exercises the mind and body. It focuses the mind on timing specific movements that weave together and can leave the participant with a sense of meditative euphoria when they fall into the groove. Traditional methods of meditation are great and work very well, but drumming can help those with an extra active mind focus on something tangible that they can feel and hear.Furthermore, there is a lot of emerging research on the benefits of rhythm based music therapy for people with ADHD, autism, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and a number of other disadvantages. I invite any researchers or music therapists to contact me on this matter if they are looking to study how this material could help patients on a clinical level.
