Singing for healing. Intervention proposal to cope with burnout syndrome.

Abstract

This proposal is the result of fieldwork and research that takes as its starting point the study of the therapeutic uses of singing in different ancestral cultural traditions of America and the East. The concept of music medicine is delimited, and the relationships between singing and well-being are exposed. An intervention proposal with sacred or medicinal songs is included for people who have high levels of stress or anxiety susceptible to suffering from burnout syndrome or who already present symptoms of it and who want to experience a change in their lives, promoting human development. The intervention is carried out in a circle with groups of people in business work contexts and care professionals such as educators or health professionals.
