Healing Music Enterprises presents
free 3-hour workshop Thanks to a grant received by Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church, I will be presenting a free 3-hour workshop on Saturday, November 12, 1:30-4:30. I'll be teaching with Heidi Poth Tracy, violinist for 32 years with the Louisville Orchestra. Our program is entitled "Rhythm, Tone and Vibration to increase and maintain health and wellness." Heidi and I have been presenting workshops on drumming, toning and chanting for health and wellness for over a year now and have been invited to Atlanta, Florida and many other places.
Having healthy, strong bio-rhythms is crucial to good health and, through the process of rhythmic entrainment, you can create rhythms with instruments or just your hands or voice that will strengthen internal rhythms and lead to better health. You will also learn about the vibrations that permeate your entire body and each organ and all of your bones. With your own voice you can speed up the vibrations that can lead to healing and increased health and wellness. Through a combination of videos, recorded and live music, you will learn to use rhythm, sound and vibrations to feel better and achieve better balance of mind, body and spirit.

When Music helps when all else fails. Dr. Sacks wrote movingly about the effects of music on his patients, which made me wonder if music could help my dad. Every night, all through my childhood, my father played his violin. When my sister and I were too agitated to sleep, he would come into our bedroom and play us to sleep. During my mother’s last decade, my father played for her every night which calmed her Parkinson’s tremors and allowed her to drift into slumber. In a sense, my father had been our family’s music therapist. Perhaps, I could find a music therapist for my dad. |

Surgical Serenity Headphones: Wireless or Cordless?
When people contact me about helping them use music during surgery,
my first recommendation is always the pre-programmed, cordless
headphones I have created. When I first had the idea to create
cordless, pre-programmed headphones, back in 2005, the term
“wireless” was not nearly as associated with “wireless network” as
it is now. | ||||||||||||||

Healthy Music = Healthy Life Everyone knows that music makes then feel good. Generally music makes you feel better than you did before you started listening. Music often creates good feelings that are so irresistible to me and I have to jump up and start dancing! Seriously! My dog looks at me with the most puzzled look!  I’ve
always wanted to know exactly what music does to my brain and my
mind and body. Here is a delightful and interesting excerpt from an
article online: Music appears to be processed in the right
hemisphere of the brain. The way we experience music also affects
our nervous system.There are different neurons that respond according to what kind of music is playing. Music can effect hormones, encourage the production of cortisol, testosterone, and oxytocin. Music can even trigger a release of endorphins. Beyond the biology and the actual responses of your body, there are definite responses of the mind as well. You’re aware of how you feel when you listen to music, but how do you know that it’s actually having any sort of effect on you? There is scientific evidence of the way it can affect your mind! It’s clearly more than just a suspicion — it’s fact! The most famous experiment related to this is probably the one that was performed at the University of California at Irvine. College students were assigned to three different groups. The first group listened to Mozart’s sonata for Two Pianos in D Major. The second group listened to a relaxation tape. The third group listened to nothing at all. |
