Types of Manifestation Therapy

There are two main types of manifestation therapy: receptive and active. Active manifestation therapy involves the persons involved in treatment creating music with others – this can occur in a group setting or one-on-one with the therapist. Because the instruments typically involved in active music therapy are often percussive in nature, the ability to play a musical instrument is not essential. Receptive, in contrast, is the act of listening to music while engaging in another calming activity, such as painting or drawing.
