The harp, with its soothing tone and spiritual associations, has been revered as a healing instrument by many cultures for thousands of years. Ancient Celtic harp music had different properties or “strains” which caused sleep, tears, or joy. These strains are qualities still found in harp music today. When thoughtfully played, harp music continues to contribute to wellness and wholeness. Because of the harp’s wide pitch range the whole body is touched with vibration.
- Nurtures people in times of physical, emotional and spiritual pain
- Resonates and gently vibrates with body tissues and cells to bring inner harmony
- Provides calming sensory stimulation
What makes music healing?
Music can contribute to wholeness by touching on emotional, physical or spiritual well-being. The healing power of music is in the way it is expressed and the way it is received. Music unites and "holds" both the giver and receiver or the musician and listener, in a unique way.
