The Healing Power of Music

The Chinese have, for thousands of years, believed in the healing power of music. Music allows our minds to enter into an invisible world of sound that can be referential (Heidegger) or not. But that's not the issue for us now. How sounds can help our brains to post messages of peace and order to our synaptic pathways could be a starting point. The power of music to allow us to free our brains from the bondage of words and start traveling on the road of pure sound fortifies our primordial nature in such a way that words can not translate the language of music at the deep structural level of our brains. Freedom from words, freedom from thoughts, freedom even from visual images and, for that matter, from our senses except hearing is that which can allow us the existential leap into a sonic universe wherein we can find healing because our temporal consciousness must also be suspended so that the "time binding" (Korzipski) humans that we are can be free from even this basic human nature. Our nature must become one with the nature of sound for healing to occur.
