| Red Auerbach |
|
"Music
washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." |
|
| |
|
| Joachim-Ernst Berendt,
The World is Sound |
|
"At the
root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm,
the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix
of time. We know that every particle in the physical
universe takes its characteristics from the pitch and
pattern and overtones of its particular frequencies,
its singing. Before we make music, music makes us." |

| Don G.
Campbell, The Roar of Silence |
|
"To enter into the initiation of sound, of vibration
and mindfulness, is to take a giant step toward consciously
knowing the soul. There are hundreds of accurate models
for this great journey inward. Each requires belief
and discipline as well as the will to allow the inner
and outer worlds to relate. Listening, learning, study,
and practice are important tools. But we need the courage
to enter into ourselves with the great respect and mystery
that combines the faith of a child, the abandon of a
mystic, and the true wisdom of an old shaman." |

Edgar
Cayce (1928), There Is A River by Thomas Sugrue
|
|
"The human body is made up of electronic vibrations,
with each atom and element of the body, each organ and
organism, having its electronic unit of vibration necessary
for the sustenance of, and equilibrium in, that particular
organism. Each unit, then, being a cell or a unit of
life in itself has the capacity of reproducing itself
by the first law as is known of reproduction-division.
When a force in any organ or element of the body becomes
deficient in its ability to reproduce that equilibrium
necessary for the sustenance of physical existence and
its reproduction becomes deficient in electronic energy.
This may come by injury or by disease, received by external
forces. It may come from internal forces through lack
of eliminations produced in the system or by other agencies
to meet its requirements in the body." |

oak."
|

| Olivea
Dewhurst-Maddock, Sound Therapy |
|
"Healing relies on an openness to the whole; a
willingness to relinquish whatever frustrates or delays
-- mistaken ideas, negative feelings, poor diet, inadvisable
lifestyle -- and to accept a wider spectrum of responses
with new ideas, experience, and priorities. Healing
is communication; and music, in its universal nature,
is total communication. In the deepest mysteries of
music are the inspirations, the pathways, and the healing
which lead to one-ness and unity." |

| Robert
Fripp |
|
"Music
is the wine that fills the cup of silence." |
|

|
| Mitchell
Gaynor, M.D., Sounds of Healing |

"You can look at disease as a form of disharmony.
And there's no organ system in the body that's not affected
by sound and music and vibration." |
|
| |
|
| Hafiz
(Persian Sufi poet) |
|
"Many
say that life entered the human body by the help of
music, but the truth is that life itself is music." |
|
| |
|
| The Hathors
|
|
"Within the sound of your voice are the keys to
innumerable worlds." |
|
| |
|
| Victor
Hugo |
|
"Music
expresses that which cannot be said and on which it
is impossible to be silent." |
|
| |
|
| Aldous
Huxley |
|
"After
silence, that which comes closest to expressing the
inexpressible is music." |
|
| |
|
| Billy Joel |
|
"I
think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive
expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched
by. No matter what culture we're from everyone loves
music." |
|
| |
|
| Hazrat Inayat
Khan, Mysticism of Sound |
|
"A
person does not hear sound only through the ears; he
hears sound through every pore of his body. It permeates
the entire being, and according to its particular influence
either slows or quickens the rhythm of the blood circulation;
it either wakens or soothes the nervous system. It arouses
a person to greater passions or it calms him by bringing
him peace. According to the sound and its influence
a certain effect is produced. Sound becomes visible
in the form of radiance. This shows that the same energy
which goes into the form of sound before being visible
is absorbed by the physical body. In that way the physical
body recuperates and becomes charged with new magnetism."

|
| Hazrat Inayat Khan,
Mysticism of Sound |
|
"Life
is a symphony, and the action of every person in this
life is the playing of his particular part in the music." |
|
| |
|
| Hazrat Inayat Khan,
Mysticism of Sound |
|
"Love
produces harmony and harmony creates beauty. Therefore
the chief motto in life is 'Love, harmony and beauty'.
Love in all things and beings the beloved God, in harmony
with all in the right understanding, and beautify your
life by observing the beauty within and without. By
love, harmony and beauty you must turn the whole of
life into a single vision of divine glory." |
|

|
| Katharine
Le Mée, The Benedictine Gift to Music |
|
"There is a song reaching the whole earth, wroght
from patience, love and prayer. Neither violent nor
assertive, it is peace begetting peace, love made manifest.
Listen to it with the ear of your heart; let it go deep
within. Open to the sound, to the holy words, to the
life of which it sings." |
|

| Geoffrey Latham |

|
| George
Leonard |
|
"At the root of all power and motion, there is
music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies
against the matrix of time, Before we make music, music
makes us." |
|

|
| Hal A.
Lingerman |
|
"Just as certain selections of music will nourish
the physical body and your emotional layer, so other
musical works will bring greater health to your mind." |
|

|
| Yehudi
Menuhin |
"Music is a therapy.It is a communication far more
powerful than words, far more immediate, far more efficient." |
| |
| Plato |
"Rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward
places of the soul." |
| |
| Plato |
"Musical training is a more potent instrument than
any other in the integration of the human being because
rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places
of the Soul on which they mightily fasten, imparting
grace, and making the Soul of him who is rightly educated
truly graceful." |
