| The Resource Links Section
of the Library is a list of helpful websites addressing
various areas of music therapy, sound healing, and related
subjects. The list has been compiled from our studies
over the last two years on these subjects. It was difficult
to draw the line between music and sound healing and areas
that relate to it, such as spirituality, wellness, psychology
and education. You will find listings that overlap these
subjects. They may not directly relate to music and sound
healing, but they are interesting nonetheless. We will
continue to add to this list as we are able to make them
ready. If you have additional suggestions or want to add

Bioacoustics |
BioAcoustics
can most aptly be described as a cross between music therapy
and biofeedback. It uses voice spectral analysis as a
tool to identify and interpret the constant, complicated
frequency interactions within the body. BioAcoustics can
most aptly be described as a cross between music therapy
and biofeedback. It is related to music inasmuch as specific
combinations of sounds are used; but not necessarily sounds
that would be considered musical by even the most lenient
critic. Biofeedback comes into play as low frequency sounds
are presented to elicit specific biological and emotional
responses. The technique has provided insight into the
possibility that the frequencies contained in the vocal
patterns provide a holographic representation of the human
body. BioAcoustics seeks to influence the systems within
the body that produce, interpret and use frequency.

nine years of years of research and therapy through "harmonic

specific capacity to connect with the source of higher
consciousness within, to initiate a holistic transformation

International Harp Therapy Program
|
For centuries,
the beneficial relationship between music and healing
has been well established. Music played on the harp has
several unique healing properties. The resonance from
the strings, including the range of pitch and tonal color,
set up an important relationship between the sound and
the recipient. Historically, the harp has been a symbol
of relief and comfort. Practitioner graduates of the International
Harp Therapy Program use the small harp as a bedside instrument
with the intention of supporting the recipient's goal
of healing. This goal may be emotional, physical, mental
or spiritual in nature.
