"Each morning, as we hum or chant or strum, we can celebrate the renewal of our path with our own humble offering of the glorious gift called music. This book offers a panorama of ways music can nourish our lives."---Paul Winter, award-winning musician and composer. As ancient peoples knew, music profoundly affects body, mind, and spirit. It can speed recovery from disease, heal psychological wounds, and open us to the ultimate mystery of life. Celebrated author and educator Don Campbell presents an impressive anthology of essays exploring the latest scientific research about the healing use of sound in traditional cultures. Contributors include composers, musicians, and music therapists; doctors and psychologists; pioneers in neuroscience and biophysics; and teachers in diverse spiritual traditions. They address such fascinating topics as: Why chanting increases energy; The therapeutic use of sacred music; Gender differences in healing with sound; How sonic resonance positively affects heart rate and brain activity.

Excellent overview of Music and Sound in Health, Wellness and Therapy,

This review is from: Music: Physician for Times to Come (Paperback)
I was blessed to have taken a course with Don Campbell at the New York Open Center not long ago. Don's experience in the field of music in health and medicine is nearly unrivaled by any other professional and spending that brief time with him allowed me to see further into what sound can actually do. In this book, which was required reading for our course, Mr. Campbell has assembled writings from some of the most respected authorities in this field including Hazrat Inayat Khan, the sufi musician who gave up tuning instruments so he could focus on helping people tune themselves, and sound-medicine pioneer Dr. Alfred Tomatis, who worked with some of 20th Century Europe's greatest opera singers. As a professional didge player and sound therapist I have found much insight from the many diverse views (over 20 authors) on how music can heal presented in this book. For more information about me and my work, feel free to visit [...].

They seller offerd the book "like new", but it had the corners a little twisted, some pen scratchs, and inside of it there were a lot of lines made by a text marker pen.
