There’s a long history of music as a healing agent. As Confucius taught, “Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” But it’s more than pleasure. It’s like medicine. One of the founders of western medicine, Hippocrates, treated mentally troubled folks he called “frenetic” by bringing them to temples to listen to healing symphonia. According to Chad Woodford, who writes on music technology, “When we listen to harmonious music, we are attuning our entire being to something beyond itself: our minds, our hearts, our bodies, + our souls. He calls this energetic chiropractic adjustment in the sense that it is restoring order and wholeness to a system out of alignment.
