Title: Music that heals Post by: Eastward_In_Eden on Jul 18, 2009 07:24 pm If this topic would be of interest to any of you, here are some links to sites that deal with spiritual vibrations in music for the purpose of healing.
It really has helped me to read through interviews with Jonathan Goldman, Steve Halpern, and how Chuck Wild took an interest in music that heals. http://www.healingsounds.com/articles/ http://www.innerpeacemusic.com/about-steven-halpern.asp http://www.chuckwild.com/ Shanti -Richard M Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Jul 20, 2009 12:22 am Richard i read some of one of the articles. i think what i saw was a fine tuning of what many musicians have known intuitively for years. That is: sound affects the nervous system and the body. Because of the innate vibration many of us have not felt comfortable playng certain kinds of music. It does not resonate with us.
i have often thought about the intuitive aspects of the flow of the music of other musicians, my own music and the lightness or heaviness it has on our consciousness. It is amazing you know, but some musicians do not have especially spiritual lyrics but yet their music has a lightness that makes you feel light. Other musicians have harmony about them or a rhythm that makes the nervous system and body react in a certain way. Then the rhythm can be changed in such a way to make a common occurance a shift in reality outlook. Sometimes the melodic content invokes feeling from its extended use at other times just a few notes or a single chord can be arranged in such a way to bring tears to your eyes. i have listened to some music wherein the key changes or harmonic structure changes in a way that makes me feel as though the statue quo is not being thrown on me but rather an exciting change in consciousness. Then there are musicians who have inspiring lyrics but the music at times can be concophonous. It is as if the lyric, rhythmic, harmonic and overhaul affects of the music speak of the consciousness, emotions, insight, sense of humor, intellect, sensitivity and spirituality of the musician. i just thought i would add a little here. Specifically; because at times i tend to want to emulate certain sounds and feelings i hear and expereince in nature, in voices and in the creations of others. i remember Daya Mata once commented on the music of today. She said it reflected much of the problems that are in society today and wondered how people could listen to most of it when it has such a negative affect on us. Yet i also remember Amma smiling at a devotee who was a famous musician and had a very negative message in a song that he told her about. It seems that everything was turned into a positive vibration in her presence. Like everything was light. She seems to be able to percieve that light behind all forms. Brother Turiyananda once said: How can we expect to raise our consciouness when we name bands with titles like: The Electric Prunes and The Grateful Dead? In a very real way he expressed his views in humor no doubt like the bands with those names: It made you feel like laughing and despite what was said it had a good affect on you. i think there is validity to all of these positions. You might even find that these people could laugh at there own names or the jokes others made of them. It certainly did not stop the cash flow. Enough talk from me for now. Hope you can get something out of these observations that can add to your thread.We/i am grateful to hear from you again and hope that you will put your videos on this site or give us links here. The musical and pictorial work you have been doing is very spiritually arousing. Keep it up and don't ever loose touch dear friend.

I'll let you know what I think of it. :D

The table of contents looks interesting especially the area related to the chakras and music and the colors ot the diatonic scale. i have been so involved in relocation and the meditation that there is no time for anything else. Although i try to maintain contact with friends. It makes life so much more happy!

Along with the New Age Elixir book, I ordered "The Soundscape - the Tuning of the World" by R. Murray Schafer... and it, too is very very thought provoking. ::) I have only read a small portion of the "New Age" book and I get the impression that she is trying to blow the cotton candy fluff of typical "new age jibberish" off of what facts she has personally discovered. Guruji also wants us to use discrimination in what we read, right ? Healing with sound vibrations is certainly a higher-age practice, no doubt. There is also the fact that pranic forces in us, along with our willpower, can be aroused and bring about healing of body and mind....regardless of the technique the "healer" is using. I doubt that the author of this book is aware of, or accepts even the possibility of astral forces, both within and around us ? So, it will be of great interest to me as I read through this book to see where she takes her research and the reader. I'll keep in touch. 8) Shanti Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Katze on Aug 17, 2009 09:14 pm hi EE ~ wandering down the hallway a bit off topic, but I was just checking out your Myspace - do you have music that you perform, that I can listen to ? did I miss it ?
Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Eastward_In_Eden on Aug 17, 2009 10:22 pm You haven't "missed" anything. ;D.... its just a hobby.
Just this past April I bought my first computer :o and am at long last able to do a little recording. I had created the MySpace page long before I had the laptop, and wasn't thinking about downloading music files. Now, I don't think I can use the same E_I_E name and e-mail contact to create a MySpace Music page... >:( ??? Same with Facebook, you seem only to be able to post video files and NOT audio-only files. :'( So, the only way I can share my sophomoric attempts at recording music is to create little "slide-show" videos in iMovie and attach the audio files from GarageBand. On my Profile page of MySpace and Facebook, I have posted a few of these "videos".... enjoy ! :D p.s. Steve keeps in touch, too... he is a real musician... "me, I'm just a lawnmower...you can tell me by the way I walk." -P.Gabriel Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Aug 18, 2009 02:41 am Thank-You Eastward in Eden. But let me share something you did that sent quivers thru my whole body all the way down to my feet!
I am he blessed spirit i am he!! Go to: http://www.myspace.com/eastward_in_eden then to his videos. You will see them listed on the left hand side just under his avatar and mood settings. 'Sergeant Stays In Tune' is something i can listen to over and over...Jai Guru Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Katze on Aug 18, 2009 04:40 am Thank you EE and Steve for directions to the videos.
Very cool EE, beautiful music and videos !I can imagine listening to the music during meditation, very inspirational. I especially like the way you fade the pictures in and out, and the one with the drop of water in the pond with the fish - so cool. In the video Steve mentions , " Sergeant Stays in Tune ", at about 127 on the dial, it looks like there is a blue angel in the center of the picture, did you see it ? Thank you for sharing EE ! :) Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Lauraa49 on Aug 23, 2009 01:42 am This fellow here is a musician that apparantly hears the music as colors . I beleive that was the topic of a conversation here earlier.
here is a link to his music and he won the music section entry into the new Tribe magazine section. so i looked him up and found that out. there are a lot of articles in his name and here is one link where if I make sense of it you can listen to his music.

"me, I'm just a lawnmower...you can tell me by the way I walk." -P.Gabriel "There's always been Ethel" Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Katze on Sep 02, 2009 03:10 pm "There's always been Ethel" so does that mean Fred & Ricky are here too ? oh, not to forget Lucy ! ;D Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: youknowyouknow on Sep 03, 2009 12:55 am "There's always been Ethel" so does that mean Fred & Ricky are here too ? oh, not to forget Lucy ! ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_EYU75uhKk I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) - Genesis It's one o'clock and time for lunch, When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench I can always hear them talk. There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up! you've got to tidy your room now." And then Mister Lewis: "isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them mowing blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. Sunday night, Mr. Farmer called, said: "listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you In the fire escape trade - come up to town!" But I remembered a voice from the past: "gambling only pays when you're winning" I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. Keep them mowing blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk. Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Katze on Sep 03, 2009 06:56 pm " LUCY....you got some splainin' to do!! " hee hee, helloooooooo Ricky ;D
Thanks for the song and the lyrics, never heard it before, obviously...... as I had the wrong Ethel, lol ! Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Sep 06, 2009 08:46 am Is that really Peter Gabriel? Never saw him that young. Those were the days when Genesis was hot! Before Mr.Commercial became their lead singer.

any more thoughts, ideas to share on the books you are reading ? Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Eastward_In_Eden on Oct 22, 2009 09:17 pm Hope you haven't been holding your breath...?
Just today finished reading Lisa Summer's incredible: MUSIC - THE NEW AGE ELIXIR This is one I read through very slowly... too much to take in quickly. Amazon allows you to "Look Inside" at the first few pages and I see it listed USED for about $9.00 ? What can I say.... it was just amazing and I really feel the author was not mean spirited or hateful, but very thorough in her investigation, research, and insights. As I mentioned on FACEBOOK, by highly recommending this book I probably won't be getting a Christmas card from Steve Halpern, Jonathan Goldman, or Kay Gardner.... http://www.facebook.com/eastward.in.eden Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Katze on Oct 24, 2009 06:52 am Hope you haven't been holding your breath...? hi EE, actually I was and I am turning blue ! ;D You do need to visit and post a little more often. :) Quote What can I say.... it was just amazing and I really feel the author was not mean spirited or hateful, but very thorough in her investigation, research, and insights. As I mentioned on FACEBOOK, by highly recommending this book I probably won't be getting a Christmas card from Steve Halpern, Jonathan Goldman, or Kay Gardner.... Now you have me wondering about this book, I will start by checking out the intro on one of the book sites. Don't feel left out about not getting any Christmas cards from the above mentioned people, I don't get any from them either, lol ! Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Eastward_In_Eden on Oct 26, 2009 07:37 pm After I've copied some quotes and references, etc. ... I'd be glad to send you my copy... I wouldn't pay full price for one. :-\
This really is a serious subject... the matter of proclaiming oneself as ANY sort of healer probably sets up some serious karmic consequences..? I'm wondering now if those advanced souls who have the ability ever bother to write books or record CDs to SELL... ? Beginning a new thread about this would open up a very large "can-of-worms" no doubt. :o I really am very thankful to have come across this book at this time. More importantly, how incredibly fortunate for me to have access to an avatar's written explanation for how the physical, mental, and spiritual healing process REALLY takes place...no guesswork...no "New-Age" goofiness... Time for me to go on to other matters in creating and recording music !!! ;) Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Katze on Oct 26, 2009 08:01 pm hello EE, and thank you for the offer on the book, but to be honest with you... I have such a list of books to read, some already started but never finished, that it will be quite some time before I should start a new book. Maybe by that time, it will be in the library. Thank you anyways, for your kind offer.
I was always under the impression that if one is a healer, that the healing comes from the Source, God, or whoever one wants to put the name to and that the healing powers, just flow " thru " us ..... we are not actually the Healer. I have not read any books, or actually listened to specifically categorized " healing music " but I do believe there is healing power in music. To me, this doesn't have to be called " healing music " but it is whatever heals you, or soothes the mind, soul or heart at the moment you are listening to it. This can apply to any music that touches your heart and your soul, a rare treasure indeed. If I had to give you an example of such music, I would say that Steve's music has this quality. Best wishes to you on creating and recording your music ! blessings, Into Blue Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Oct 27, 2009 05:23 am Eastward in Eden Thank You so much for posting here. i have had requests to go to other areas of the internet. i appreciate the requests. Problem is if i do not give the energy needed to start a new business i will feel as though i did not give it my best focus. i was surprised that you put the author in to a category of avatar or perhaps i misunderstood. That being the case i do hope to come across it a some point. Please keep me in your prayers. i often think about people i have met and spend time with on the internet. They are in my thoughts and prayers always.... In divine friendship always...

Title: Re: Music that heals Post by: Eastward_In_Eden on Oct 27, 2009 03:50 pm Oh, NO... she is NOT an avatar. :o I was referring, of course, to the Premavatar PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA, who has left us with tons of detailed explanations of how physical and astral healing takes place.. and very practical methods for us to attain that healing. Sorry for the confusion. |
