Healer and author Dyan Garris is on a blog tour, so I asked her a few questions about her musical work.
1) What is it about music that makes it a good healing tool?..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Music soothes the very soul. On vibrational levels music has the ability to move and shift energy patterns. If you've ever felt moved by a piece of music you know what I mean. You have just felt that music in your heart chakra, where it "moved" you vibrationally. We feel music with our souls rather than process it with our brains. Music can help us integrate the etheric bodies with the physical body.
2) What kinds of music do you find most effective to work with?
I'm a composer and performer of music in the New Age genre, but that is a really broad way of putting it. Personally, I find it most effective to work with soothing, relaxing, ethereal music.
3) Do you consider participation, performance and live music benificial?
Yes. With live performances you end up having a group dynamic going on. The energy flows from the performer and into and through the group and then back to the performer. It's very powerful medicine. It's like electricity making a complete circuit.
4) What issues are most effectively treated with music therapy?
I think most issues can be treated effectively with music, however, anyone that needs unblocking of the heart chakra will benefit from music therapy because music flows so easily to that chakra and opens is automatically. However, as I said, the other chakras benefit as well. Music with a strong beat can be very grounding, (working on the first chakra) as well as centering (working on the third chakra) and so forth. Music can unblock things in the body when nothing else has worked.
5) How did you get into this particular line of work?
That's a really long story, Bryn. But simplified, in childhood a blind piano teacher taught me to feel music in a whole different way and through "different" eyes. And then playing the violin taught me how music vibrates through the physical body and through the etheric bodies as well. In the early 1990s I wrote a guided meditation - A Healing Journey – which became the foundation for all of my work, the Voice of the Angels – A Healing Journey Spiritual cards, the entire line of music and meditation CDs for Automatic Chakra Balance,™ and everything else that naturally followed. In 2005 I heard entire songs from the angels and I wrote them down as fast as I could. That turned into my first CD in the series. And after that the rest of the CDs were channeled to me as well. It's been a very interesting "Healing Journey."
