Good afternoon and welcome to lesson 7 of “Components of healing Music.”\u00a0 Today we get to the important topic of instruments!<\/p>\n
Healing music comes in many different shapes and forms.\u00a0 Healing music can be familiar, it can be unfamiliar.\u00a0 It can be soft and quiet or it can be full and swells and lulls (crescendos and decrescendos).\u00a0 It can be a single instruments, a small ensemble or a full orchestra.\u00a0 It could also be a single voice, a small vocal ensemble or a large chorus.<\/p>\n
There are many, many variables and (as I said yesterday) a lot depends on a person\u2019s previous life and also their musical experience to that point.\u00a0 When talking with other experts about healing music, one of the \u201chot topics\u201d seems to be whether acoustic instruments are a must, or whether or not synthethesized sounds can also be healing.\u00a0 This is a very controversial topic because even though synthesizers have really improved a lot over the past 25-30 years, they still lack the vibrational richness and intention that is created with acoustic instruments and, of course, the human voice.<\/p>\n
Still, there are many composers whose synthesized music has been very powerful for me and my journey.\u00a0 Particular favorites for me include Don Campbell\u2019s \u201cCrystal Meditations,\u201d\u00a0 Constance Demby\u2019s \u201cThrough the Stargate,\u201d and Steve Halpern\u2019s \u201cChakra Suite.\u201d\u00a0 My experience is that I can enjoy and benefit from either.\u00a0 The effect is very different because I grew up exclusively on acoustic music but have become accustomed to enjoying and appreciating good quality synthesized sounds and music.<\/p>\n
By the same token, I have come to love, enjoy and benefit from the sound healing experiences with crystal bowls, tuning forks, and other very non-traditional instruments.\u00a0 I would love to know and hear about your experiences and preferences for healing music instruments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
