Entrainment == Heading text ==

In 2012, blood harmony was first used as a synonym or specific application of entrainment in health care. In his 2012 book From Grave to Cradle to Now, author Ian Powell McCallum used the musical term blood harmony to describe the powerful family-shared links (DNA, physiology &) and nurture bonds) by which family members can reach into relatives in the pain and chaos of comas not only to encourage them but also to guide them from the chaos towards life and consciousness. The family members play the patient’s senses like a musical instrument. Those engagement methods include: kissing (touch+olfaction, engaging chemoreceptors); hand holding; massaging; talking; story, joke and news telling; singing and favorite music playing.

Forcing comatose patients to engage via those shared resources, will re-establish both their sense of self and a direction—the linkage with the family member. Most importantly, this makes them aware that they are still alive, which is critical to them finding the will to live. Then they can begin to move towards the family member, towards life.
