Throughout time and across all cultures, music and sound have been an integral part of ceremony and ritual and have played a significant role in the healing of humankind. In every cosmology and mythology, sound is a major link, the carrier wave between the world of spirit and the people of Earth.

The Australian aboriginal cultures believe the Earth was sounded into existence through the didgeridoo. For centuries shamans have used drums, rattles and chanting as an integral part of healing practices in indigenous cultures. Their music often triggered their own trances, dreams and visions through which they assisted community members to heal. Healing mantras, chants and incantations are seen throughout history and in every major world culture Ð Hindu, Moslem, Jewish, Native American, Polynesian, Asian, Sufi, etc.

Sample Study Indluded: Multidimensional Music

Jacotte Chollett, former television documentary film producer, was inspired to expand her cerebral faculties. Her quest led to a ten year period of intensive research into acoustical phenomena beyond the limits of human perception. Next she spent seventeen years in her studio creating what she calls Multidimensional Music. In 1985 Jacotte started to test the effect of her music on willing participants to see what healing properties the music contained.

Participants listened to Multidimensional music for one to one-and-one-half hours in private sessions or workshops. Blood samples were taken immediately before and after listening to the music. These tests repeatedly showed a spectacular increase of up to one gram in the hemoglobin level o the blood samples. Resonance with the expanded consciousness field present in the music was inducing physiological, somatic transformations in blood Jacotte says, ÒUnity of consciousness can be established or re-established by direct contact between the music and the person experiencing it, which releases emotional knots and what might be called ÔcystsÕ in the parasympathetic systems. It may be observed that, in resonance with Multi- dimensional Music, these phenomena tend to disintegrate, and the effects are communicated from cell to cell through the connected system. The re-balancingof potentials along the meridians of acupuncture is also noted. The effects are physical, psychic and holistic. The phenomenon, originating with cellular perception of vibrations, is translated in part by increasingly specific sensations which correspond to a holistic self awareness.Ó
