THE HARP - an appropriate topic for Christmas time
Some say the harp is the most healing instrument -- both to listen to, and to play. Read about HEALING STRINGS - serving the critically and chronically ill and the dying, providing harp music at the bedside from the neonatal ICU to Hospice.
"It took me away from the hospital to a place to beauty and stillness." - a post-op patient
Why the harp? It has centuries of archetypal associations to angels, peace, healing, comfort, the end of suffering, and
... Heaven.
Why the harp?
It's wide pitch range (low C-32.703 Hz to high G-3136.0 Hz), vibrates the entire body;
It's unique glissando technique, using enharmonic tones, is heavenly;
Pythagoras saw the strings as symbols of the nervous system and plucking the strings appears to release tension;
Playing the harp vibrates the harpist's body, especially the thymus gland which is in the chest and important to the immune system
Even as long as 3,000 years ago, we understood the relationship between the music of the harp and the healing of the body and mind.
Recent medical studies have confirmed that the particular frequencies and sounds of the harp can aid healing and foster well-being.
This is true of other instruments and of classical music.
