With much of our world in the grip of extreme weather ... floods, earthquakes (Australia is battling 3-7 year droughts and widespread bushfires), this episode looks at the power of sound and how music may be used to not only heal us but also bring balance to Mother Nature (balanced weather, rain when needed).
