What is therapeutic music and sound healing?
Therapeutic music and sound healing are modalities that allow individuals who are ill or dying to hear and receive live music or therapeutic sound on physical, psychosocial and spiritual levels in order to promote health and well-being or a peaceful transition. Individuals are enabled to bring inner resources to activate the healing process. These practices date back to Pythagoras of Ancient Greece, who is known as the "Father of Sound Medicine".
