chants, and deep drumbeats to facilitate the transference of energy and connect with the healing power of the elements of nature and the spirit world.
Some of the psycho-spiritual qualities (or rasas) that may be conveyed when people sing medicine melodies include inner wisdom, serenity, open-mindedness, selflessness, compassion, devotion, calm acceptance, wonder, affliction, detachment, inner joy, radiance, and relaxation. In music and sound therapy, both the clinician and patient can benefit from medicine melodies that generate an atmosphere of calm receptiveness.
The voice, as a fabric of breath, vibration, and expression has the capacity to convey and release emotions like no other instrument. We experience singing as one of the most directly transformative art forms because it liberates self-expression, promotes physical and emotional balance, and engenders a sense of devotion and happiness. The latest discoveries in neuroscience confirm the healing power of prayer and devotional singing in particular. Chanting awakens all the physical and energetic psychic centers, stimulates the immune system and the emotional body, which allows greater meaning and insight into the mysteries of creation.
Singing medicine melodies becomes a spiritual practice that involves both the body and mind, opening us to divine remembrance, nature, and transformation. The realm of sounding becomes a state of consciousness—a kind of trance—where the attention is not on the Self, but in the experience of listening. Free from selfish demands, the voice soars, listens, receives, and releases healing frequencies and songs. We wonder again, Who is singing?
Through the emotive magic of medicine melodies, we become cosmic singers, connecting through sound to spirit, eternity, and light. Herein lies the beneficial power of this distinctive music that has no composer and no ownership, except for the intervention of the divine. In particular, we benefit by connecting with the archetypal dimension of consciousness and magic. Our hearts open to the deep longing of the enchanters, to those who journey through the magic of sound to attract spirit power.
So, there’s nothing to worry about when you receive these melodies. You have been blessed. You have been listening to the voices of the unseen; you have tasted the “unseen fruit,” described by the Sanskrit concept of adrsta-phala (spiritual benefit). our voice is making cosmic music.
