Music used in therapy can be thought of as a form of energy work, encoded sound waves oscillating and traveling through matter. As music traverses the delicate hearing mechanism it becomes neural energy, ultimately triggering an array of biochemical responses, which translate to meaning and emotion.

I have been asked more than once, ”What is healing music? What makes music transformative and balancing?” Transformation and balance are not transferred directly from the music; it is more mysterious and complex than that.

“Among the Indians, music envelopes like an atmosphere every religious, tribal and social ceremony as well as every personal experience. There is not a phase of life that does not find expression in song.”

Have you ever been standing in front of a waterfall and felt the roar of the cascading water vibrating through your body? It generates a feeling of awe and a profound respect for the power of nature, deeply nurturing and balancing.

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, “ambience” is a feeling or mood associated with a particular place, person, or thing. The form of music that has been developed to enhance spaces fits into a category called “Ambient Music.”
