Course Description: The basic principles of music associated with healing can be traced back to the ancient world. The values of music may be found in the writings of the Greeks, Egyptians, Persians, Hindus, Chinese and other learned nations of antiquity. It was, and still is, a part of the religious ceremonies of indigenous peoples throughout the world. The topics listed in the Course Outline will survey and utilize numerous offerings from various publications devoted to the same theme: the healing nature of music.
Learning Objectives:
- To discover great music that helps one draw upon its powerful, integrating currents, so that one's life can find deeper creative attunement with the healing reservoirs of sound and light that direct the universe.
- To produce and direct sacred sound through our energy centers (chakras) to the physical body, so that balance occurs, energizing our entire energy system.
- To consciously align oneself to the wisdom of the heart through the wide world of music.
- To literally heal and transform one's soul through a variety of music, sounds, tones, etc.
