The Ineffability of the Heart in Healing;
Rupture, Transcendence, and Transformation through
Melody and Chant
- Silvia Nakkach, M.A.,MMT
Healing with sound is more than just a change of melodies and chants,
it is about a change of heart. Embark on an inspiring exploration of
the architecture of the music that we create to accomplish the main
goals of all sound therapies: to lessen pain and suffering, to balance
brain functions, and to quiet the mind making it permeable to divine
intervention.
In an attempt to shed new light on the affective power of sound and
music, we explore the ancient concepts of raga (that melody which
colors the mind), and rasa (mood, a sentiment that gives flavor to the
mind), introducing the expression of spiritual melodicism, resonant
harmonies and hovering rhythms, with special attention given to melody
as medicine. The practice of these essential musical concepts can
refine the practitioner’s auditory and therapeutic sensitivity,
improving the capacity to release stress and fear. In particular we
will examine melody’s potential to connect with archetypal
consciousness, emotional nature, and magic, by conveying profound
sentiments through the inscrutable power of rasa.
The evolution of the art of sound healing may depend on
deepening cross-cultural
sophistication and the conscious treatment of musical structure with a
spiritual emphasis.
By experiencing the devotional nature of music we open
our hearts to the deep longing of the enchanters, those who journey
through the magic of sound to attract the spirit power.
GOALS:
• To revitalize the understanding of the therapeutic potential of
sound and music to transform emotional states, by exploring the
architecture of melody (raga) and the nine rasas of Indian art;
aesthetic sentiments such as love, peace, joy, fear, devotion, wonder,
aversion, heroism, and compassion.
• To learn about the
medicinal potential of the Indian ragas as divinely inspired tonal
arrangements, their acoustic ability to colour the mind of the
listener with a particular emotion that stimulates brain and heart
activity.
• To identify particular intervals and melodies that can facilitate
relaxation, concentration, strengthen vitality, balance nervous
system, alleviate pain, and enhance perceptional functions (sensation,
reception, feeling, transmission and expression).
• To relate the underlying healing potential between modern microtonal
musical architecture and the enchanting melodies of the sacred Eastern
musical traditions.
