Presentation:

In ancient Chinese culture, music was regarded as a high-level medium to communicate with spirit and harmonize emotions, and was thus used to promote longevity and healing. Sounds of the natural world, musical instruments, and the human voice, can all be harnessed to resonate with the human vibratory field and generate re-harmonisation and healing. The foundational principles of Yin-Yang and Five Phases were all transcribed into vibratory musical elements to be used in medicine, called the Five Healing Tones, as outlined in the Yellow Emperor Internal Classic. 

Healing methods combining music, the five tones, and Qi, are still used today in Daoist lineages. The purpose of this course will be to introduce Chinese medicine practitioners, Qi Gong adepts, and music lovers to the theoretical foundation and methods of Daoist music healing.
