The Transformational Power of Healing 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, attenuol, nitroglycerin, and expert nursing care. The chemicals did not make the pain go away. What made it go away was Novus Magnificat. 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 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, R.N.

“When I listen to your music, I come home. Your music IS the geometry of LOVE and it solicits and sustains perpetual growth.” - Eileen Balint

"I've developed a program of music that includes support for dying persons, their families and the caregivers, in use in the USA, Ireland and Belgium. In one of the care centers in Belgium, the dying people can listen to music through earphones. Recently, one lady began her day by listening to "Aeterna;" she was so moved and so "in it", that they couldn't take out the earphones from her. She ate breakfast with it, washed herself with it, slept with it. But at dinner time, they really had to take it out by force from her! Talk about a cry of the heart...!!" - Gilles Bedard - MUSIQUES A L'AUBE DE LA LUMIERE, - INERSON :www.microtec.net/inerson

"When I was in the hospital with a heart condition, SKIES ABOVE SKIES literally saved me."- S. Thimms

"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 really experienced music, and what a difference it made to her. She then gave your "ALARON" 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

"You are a very, very, very special Blessing. I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your music, for your sense of inspiriation and for your unique ability to connect us through your ministry of music to the Divine. The present times are challenging for many. Your music helps me to re-connect. You have no idea how you touch those who listen. I am reminded of that precious saying.... Anyone can count the seeds in an apple; only God can count the number of apples in a seed. You have sown many seeds that touch people around the world. I just wanted to take this time and thank you so deeply from the depths of my heart. Please continue your incredible work to us and touch in heart connection through word and music. Blessings to you," - Wayne

"As I struggle to stay out of the hospital & make it through surgery after surgery, there are times when "Novus Magnificat" was, and is more affective than any "drug", shrink or otherwise could have been. An argument could be made that I am alive and successful today, writing this due to the kindling of inner strength which this work fosters. I am not used to writing fan letters & in fact never have until now so I will leave this at that." - Dan Hayman

"I use the music of Constance Demby in order to lower my body's 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 just wanted to thank you for providing such an amazing linkage into higher consciousness. I have made much use of Novus Magnificat and Aeterna over the years. and have used your music in many healing rituals, especially with my mother, who is a classical pianist and now devoted fan. At first, she was a bit frightened by the new world your music opened up to her, but soon she let go of so much inner tension that her physical health was enhanced in a most profound way. You proved that the next level won't depend on all the gizmos, but upon the pure energy connection of thought. You've shown it can be done, and have provided not only wonderful evidence, but also a pipeline into that sacred deeper consciousness. It's only natural to want to share this tap into the wellspring of healing with my clients." - Samantha McTighe

"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

"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 his life signs, and when he flatlined and passed over with the very last note of the symphony, we knew he and the music had become one. He timed it perfectly. The halls were filled with doctors, nurses and patients either weeping or wondering what was happening."- P. Debarone, D.D.

"I am a physician and healer and, during the December 1999 concert, I literally watched myself facilitate a non-local healing of a young patient of mine who has deep seated emotional abuse issues. I had no intent to do this before the concert began. The music opened an intuitive part of me that knew where to go and what to do, and took me to the space where it all happened. Several days later, the patient came into my office and, both her and her mother had noticed a profound shift since that night. It was a very magical experience for me and it expanded the forum of healing possibilities that I can now use." - Dr. Baune, D.C., D.A.C.N.B.

"I find your music so wonderfully uplifting; it has made a big difference in my health. Listening to your music at night gives me undisturbed sleep and a wonderful feeling of rejuvenation." - Margaret Houssenloge., Australia

THE HEALING POWER OF SOUNDThroughout the ages, sound and music, originally a highly developed science in the ancient mystery schools, have been used as vehicles for healing. This healing was based on concepts of life that recognized vibration as the fundamental creative force.

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

Music affects the physical body in profound ways. Sound waves enter into the physical body and move atoms around, rearranging our cellular structure and putting us back in order. Music - in its higher forms - has the power to lower blood pressure, alter the breathing rate, reorganize and harmonize molecular structure, elevate mood, take us beyond the everyday world to the spiritual world, transform consciouness and ultimately liberate our spirit.

"Without music, life would be a mistake." - Nietzsche

Some music will actually diss-arrange or de-range the embodiement, and there have been studies done by Dorothy Retallack on plants to prove this. Dorothy placed three groups of plants in glass enclosures, and played various types of music to the plants for a period of 30 days. The first group of plants were played acid rock music, and actually leaned away from the speakers in an attempt to get away from the sounds, becoming disheveled, with stunted growth. The second group of plants listened to Bach and similar music, and experienced better than normal growth. The third group was played devotional music, and leaned towards the speakers, twining around the speaker wires to get closer to the sound. They had the most luxurious growth and most organized coherant patterns of all. Dorothy's comment on the experiment, in regards to the first group of plants: "If this is what this music does to plants, what is it doing to our children?"

There is a report of doctors in the south of France who prescribe specific pieces of music to be listened to three times a day in place of medicine. There are reports of cows yielding more milk when played classical music in the barn. Higher consciousness music enhances life affirming decisions and results. Lower vibration music can direct the listener towards negative destructive thoughts and sometimes even suicide.

" A tone is a living cell... It is a microcosom reflecting faithfully the macrocosom, its laws, its center. A tone is a solar system." - Dane Rudyar

Music holds the key to remembering our origin and reconnecting with 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 is God - Nada Brahma".

Dis-ease, dis-harmony within the cells, is ultimately spiritual in nature. The separated self, feeling separate from Source, begins creating dis-ease-ment from this feeling of separateness. Certain kinds of music can help one remember that connection with Source, and the listener can only go as high, as deep and as wide as the composer went when receiving and composing the music.

"Through music, one can reach God." Ravi Shankar
