Throughout the ages, sound and music have been used as vehicles for healing. Healing with the aid of sound and music was a highly developed science in the ancient mystery schools. This healing was based on concepts of life that recognized vibration as the fundamental creative force.
Matter can be said to be frozen music, or vibrations that have been slowed down to the realm of the physical where they coalesce into matter.
Music - in its higher forms - has the power to lower blood pressure, alter the breathing rate, reorganize and harmonize molecular structure, relax the body, elevate mood, take us beyond the mental world to the spiritual world, transform consciouness and liberate our spirit.
Sound waves enter into our physical body and move the atoms around, rearranging our cellular structure, and putting it back in order.
Some music will actually diss-arrange or de-range it, and there have been studies done by Dorothy Retallack on plants to prove this. Plants played Bach and similar music did very well, plants played acid rock music were disheveled and had stunted growth, and plants played spiritual devotional music had luxurious growth and more organized harmonious patterns.
Music affects the physical body in profound ways. There are doctors in the south of France who prescribe specific pieces of music to be listened to 3 times a day in place of medicine.
Music holds the key to remembering our origin and recontacing source. Our spirit, regardless of nationality, creed, time or space recognizes sound as the doorway to the infinite. Hence, music is the universal language.
Sound and Light are the building blocks of the universe, the very framework upon which all of creation is hung.
Every molecule of matter is intoning its tone. Every leaf, atom, particle, planet, galaxy, every cell in our body is humming it own tune. Even as we were being born, as our bodies were being formed a chord was being intoned, our own individual chord.
"A tone is a living cell... It has the power of reproduction, of making exchanges, of growing. It is a microcosom reflecting faithfully the macrocosom, its laws, its center. A tone is a solar system." - Dane Rudyar
If music be the food of love, it can be nourishment for our souls, harmony for our cells.
If dis-ease is dis-harmony within the cells, dis-harmony within the being, then dis-ease is most likely spiritual in nature.
Separateness from Source -- Separateness from SelfThe right kind of music can help one remember that connection with Source.
For healing, in the body, mind or spirit, comes when we remember who we are, where we come from, and why we are here.
"The Hindu tradition teaches us that Sound is God - "Nada Brahma". That is, musical sound and the musical experience are steps to the realization of the self. Music is viewed as a spiritual discipline that raises one's inner being to divine peacefulness and bliss. The highest aim of music is to reveal the essence of the universe it reflects, and music is the means by which this essence can be comprehended. Through music, one can reach God." Ravi Shankar
I AM MUSICAllen Inman"I am music, most ancient of the arts. I am more than ancient: I am eternal.
Even before life commenced upon this earth, I was here - in the winds and the waves.
When the first trees and flowers and grasses appeared, I was among them.
And when Man came, I at once became the most delicate, most subtle, and most powerful medium for the expression of Man's emotions.
When men were little better than beasts, I influenced them for their good.
In all ages I have inspired men with hope, kindled their love, given a voice to their joys, cheered them on to valorous deeds, and soothed them in times of despair.
I have played a great part in the drama of Life, whose end and purpose is the complete perfection of man's nature.
Through my influence human nature has been uplifted, sweetened and refined. With the aid of men, I have become a Fine Art.
From Tubalcain to Thomas Edison a long line of the brightest minds have devoted themselves to the perfection of instruments through which men may utilize my powers and enjoy my charms.
I have myriads of voices and instruments. I am in the hearts of all peoples and on their tongues, in all lands and among all cultures: the ignorant and unlettered know me, not less than the rich and learned.
For I speak to all peoples, in a language that all understand. Even the deaf hear me, if they but listen to the voices of their own souls.
I am the food of love. I have taught men gentleness and peace: and I have led them onward to heroic deeds. I comfort the lonely, and I harmonize the discord of crowds. I am a necessary luxury to all men.
I am MUSIC."

Letters from Listeners - Healings with the music
"....I am writing to you from the intensive care unit of Kaiser Hospital and this is a letter of gratitude. I have just had my first and I hope, last heart attack. In addition to pain, I have had to cope with fear, and your music has helped me do that. Last night, my heart attacked me again in spite of isordyl, tagamet, heparin, nitroglycerin, attenuol and expert nursing care. The chemicals did not make the pain go away. What made it go away was your music. I needed to be reminded that it was my body, not my being, that was in jeopardy. Your music is obviously not created for your personal fame and fortune.... " D. Mechling
"...I use the music of Constance Demby in order to lower my bodies blood pressure, keep panic down, reduce fear reaction , and can usually get contol over most episodes, if not at all times. I thank you for your consideration of music as an alternative therapy. " S. B. Slightom
"....I suffer from chronic pain as a result of spinal fusions. You would not believe what calm relief can be attained through this type of music, in particular NOVUS MAGNIFICAT . I no longer require narcotic pain relievers or tranquilizers or muscle relaxants. If it were possible on earth to hear the Angels of Heaven sing, this must be the song and voice of Glory ! " T. Hollingsworth
".....As my AIDS patient lay dying, NOVUS MAGNIFICAT filled the halls of the hospital. He was hooked up to machines that showed us his life signs., and with the last note of the music, he flatlined and passed over. The halls were filled with doctors, nurses and patients either weeping or wondering what was happening." P. Debarone, D.D.
"...I am HIV positive, and SET FREE literally got me through all of my anxieties....I was able to laugh and cry with it, (mostly cry), meditate, sleep and even regain my appetite. While listening, I aligned my soul and mind back to sanity because I really thought I was losing it for a while. Many friends and family tried their best to comfort me, but when it came right down to it, your "Set Free" album is what carried me through. " No. 1 fan, Thad
"....I teach Intuitive Development and Healing Classes, and after using the music in the class, an older woman who has been married to a jazz musician, came up to me and told me that all these years she had listened to music, but this was the first time that she had experienced it, and what a difference it made to her. She then gave your tape to her friend , who had crippling arthritis. As a result, for the first time in years, she was able to sit still, out of pain." A. Carole, Intuitive Development
".......I am a nurse and work in a nursing home. I have used Sunborne to quiet and soothe several of my brain-damaged, non-verbal patients. " A. Dobyzelecki".....When I was in the hospital with a heart condition, SKIES ABOVE SKIES literally saved me." S. Thimms
"..No words or language can do what your music does. Language reaches the mind while your music truly reaches the soul. I have applied your music in treatment of my patients with delightful, positive responses. Constance has a beautiful therapeutic quality to her music and it is a privilege to listen." R. Carmen, M.A., C.C.C
