“…Our focus was on one component of mindfulness programs—attentional control—which we speculated could be beneficial in managing worries that may arise following stroke and in improving attention and concentration that may be impaired following stroke. Mindfulness‐based music therapy has recently been shown to enhance mood and attention in women with breast cancer receiving adjuvant chemotherapy . Further work is needed to determine whether mindful music listening can reduce the likelihood of developing anxiety/depression and improve attention poststroke, but the comments from our participants are promising.…”

Existing research evidence suggests that both music listening and mindfulness interventions may have beneficial effects on mood and cognition poststroke. This mixed-methods study, nested within a pilot randomized controlled trial investigating the feasibility and acceptability of combining music listening and brief mindfulness training poststroke, explored study participants' experiences of engaging in the interventions. Fifty-six stroke survivors who were randomized to receive an 8-week intervention of mindful music listening (n = 15), music listening (n = 21), or audiobook listening (n = 20, control) using self-selected material participated in a postintervention individual semistructured interview with a researcher not involved in their intervention delivery. Interview questions focused on affective, cognitive, and physical experiences. Data were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Across groups, listening was associated with positive distraction from thoughts and worries. Mindful music listening was most strongly associated with relaxation and concentration, improved attentional control, and emotion regulation, as well as enjoyment. Music listening was most strongly associated with increased activity, memory reminiscence, and improved mood. In addition, participants provided valuable feedback on intervention feasibility and acceptability. The findings suggest that the interventions were feasible and enjoyable for people recovering from stroke.

“…Recently, attempts have been made to combine mindfulness and music, such as the mindfulness-based music therapy program. 34 In Korea, however, few studies have used music meditation in the elderly group. 35 In the future, MM programs for the elderly, especially for the middle-old or oldest-old, may be designed including music components.…”

Background The significance of mindfulness meditation (MM) has increased in recent years in both clinical settings and public health. However, ways to implement MM as a disease prevention or treatment method in the elderly is still a major challenge. A comprehensive analysis of previous studies on MM programs for the elderly in Korea will help build future integrated care programs that incorporate MM. Methods Seven international and Korean domestic electronic databases were searched to collect relevant clinical studies until May 30, 2020. Results Sixteen articles with twelve clinical studies were included in this review. The MM program was generally offered once a week over eight weeks with a duration of between 60 and 90 min per session. The main reason for participants’ drop out was poor program compliance attributed to conflicting schedules, physical illness, or a change of mind. The program results were either positive or mixed, but the mindfulness level of the participants was improved. Conclusions This review summarizes information obtained from previously published studies in Korea, on the design considerations, characteristics, and preliminary effectiveness of the MM program for the elderly. The findings can be used as preliminary data by future practitioners and/or researchers to design MM programs targeted toward the elderly; it could also help policymakers integrate MM-based strategies into integrated care programs to promote their mental health and well-being.

“…The research has shown that although both cognitive and embodied forms of knowledge are necessary in the development of therapeutic presence, embodied knowledge is currently a neglected epistemological paradigm in the majority of educational and healthcare settings (Geller & Greenberg, 2012;Henry, 2010;Kontos & Naglie, 2009;Medcalf, 2017). However, the researcher would again like to state that this may not be the case in all music therapy educational programs, as there are currently many mindfulness-based music therapy programs already being integrated into music therapy practices (Lesiuk, 2016;Rynex, 2018). In relation to developing therapeutic presence as a student music therapist and incorporating meditative and embodied practice into music therapy programs, experiential learning has great potential to provide an educational framework, discussed further by Murphy (2007, pp.…”

This first-person study investigates the role of cognitive and embodied forms of knowledge in relation to the development of therapeutic presence as a student music therapist. In this paper, I will provide an introduction to the topic reviewing its relevance to the practice of music therapy, and I will argue that the development of therapeutic presence is a fundamental part of becoming a music therapist. Although there are seminal articles in the music therapy literature that discuss the topic of therapeutic presence, I have not found any articles relating it to the development of being a student music therapist. Using heuristic methodology, I will describe the personal process of developing therapeutic presence as a student music therapist. To gain a broader perspective on the research topic, and to provide validation and transparency in relation to my personal heuristic process, three successive theoretical and experiential workshops were carried out with six student music therapists. Data, in the form of questionnaires, reflections and group musical improvisations were analysed systematically to validate my experience of the research topic, and also to discover and evaluate themes and practical methods. The research has culminated in the synthesis of data gathered during the study in relation to the main research question while also reviewing its relevance to music therapy practice and implications for further study.
