Description

The transformative power of sound has been used throughout history by spiritual guides, mystics, sages, and philosophers to heal and align people in a deep harmonious level that encompassed the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies of the human body. From the Shamans of the Americas, the Yogis of India, to the Mystery Schools of Egypt, Greece and Rome, ancient cultures around the globe understood that vibration is the fundamental active force in the universe. Sound in simplest form is vibration. Ancient holy men were able to tap into the vibrations of sound through the universe for enlightenment, spiritual awakening, expanded consciousness, planetary oneness and interconnectedness with the cosmos. Modern western scientific studies and perspectives on sound healing and vibrational medicine have demonstrated the healing and transformative powers of harmonics. In this thesis I will discuss the musical elements that gave ancient songs, mantras and chants these healing qualities, and how we can integrate this spiritual and sacred aspect of sound with contemporary music in order to create Holistic music.
