About the Organization

Musopathy as a vision was formulated in the mid-1990s by Indian Musician-Composer, Chitravina N Ravikiran.  The Musopathy Foundation (MF) is a unit of Ravikiran Foundation of India.  It focuses on Music and Musopathy Health and Wellness Research and applications for both individuals and organisations. 

Clisonics is an incorporated LLC in USA, focused more on Music and Musopathy Health and Wellness applications to individuals and groups.  

Both were founded to bridge sound science, rhythm science and math, therapeutic practice and empirical research and seek to offer complementary and supplementary health benefit to global populations. 

Research Pathways

While sound-based and breathing and music practices and rhythms for cognitive development have long been used in wellness and traditional systems, rigorous scientific exploration tapping on universal aspects embedded in these remains limited. Musopathists aim to address this gap by developing structured methodologies that can be studied, measured, and validated through collaborative research.

We are not a product-only or consumer-only platform.
We are a research-aligned initiative seeking to advance understanding through:

  • Pilot studies and observational research
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration
  • Clinical and academic partnerships

Our Research Philosophy

  • Universality over regionality in music as well as solutions, wherever possible
  • Proof over Evidence, where possible
  • Collaboration over isolation 
  • Measurable outcomes over anecdotal results
  • Ethical and transparent research practices

Vision

PRIMARY 

  • To focus on research that can yield health solutions to global populations – including those that do not relate to music – as opposed to niche populations that can intuitively associate with certain systems of music. 
  • To recognise that the answers may not lie so much in the melodies, compositions or composers or even in various genres of music; they have to be drawn from a study of the essential elements of music itself that transcends time and space. 

Mission

  • Complementary:  To study the possibilities of Musopathy as a complementary health solution for several conditions such as Respiratory issues, Sinus, Emotional imbalances including Stress, Anxiety and Depression, Sleep disorders, Muscular strain etc.  This in turn can reduce the side effects of several medications.  
  • Viable Alternative:  To carry out research on Musopathy’s ability to  potentially help alleviate the symptoms of neuro-psychiatric disorders including Parkinson’s and Autism where most pharmacological interventions have by and large not succeeded till date. 
  • Enhanced Wellness:  To explore the potential of Musopathy TBT as a Lifestyle Management tool to foster increased energy, stamina, focus, clarity, calmness and enhanced wellness.
  • Preventive: To conduct studies to explore if Musopathy can help in the prevention of illnesses such as cognitive degeneration.

Activities

  • Conduct or Support Research on potential and applications of Musopathy with organisations such as Charusat University, india, Mayo Clinic, USA etc
  • Lectures and Courses in various science and health conferences or for orgs like Indian Institute of Technolofy (IIT), Mandi
  • Courses on Musopathy in various institutions
  • Health and Wellness Solutions Sessions for individual and groups using TBT
  • Mind Engineering and Management (MEM) Sessions and Courses for individuals and organizations which includes Leadership Training, Creation of Excellence & Team Building
  • Creation of Websites, Apps and Channels to empower everyone to improve their health at nominal costs

I am able to see a significant improvement in the spirometry after TBT. Last week, none of the balls in meter were moving. Now, the first one goes all the way up easily. Just after a 20 minute session, the second ball also moves half-way

Several psychiatry tablets combination was tried on me but nothing worked much and I was even told to be admitted in rehabilitation for a year. But I’m very calm after doing the Musopathy and TBTs for 2 months, I’m free from aggressiveness and my medications have been cut down by 50%.

The Musopathy exercises are really effective... I was very anxious about a session I needed to take.. after the Musopathy session, I feel much less anxiety and much more motivated. I would strongly recommend this to everyone.

Both my wife and I tested positive for Covid and were in home quarantine in May 2021 before we took TBT sessions for lung wellness. We found the TBT exercises to be really simple, effective and refreshing.

I am recovering from COVID. Although I don't have any visible symptoms, I took the session to improve my general health. The oxygen saturation improved from 97 to 99 after just one session. The session was useful, and interesting.
