Musical Healing Part 2

MUSICAL HEALING PART 2 -- MOST USED MUSICAL KEYS

 

Within the subject of musical keys, there is embedded a language that we can

use to generate precise effects. By keys, it is meant that fundamental

aspect of European and American music where each piece of music is said to

be in a certain key, such as C, G, or F. These are usually related to the

major scale, for those who know the basic technical formulas. Remember that

everything is related to the piano, which is a direct descendant of the

harp. On the piano, the fundamental key, which means an 8-note scale played

all on the white keys, is C Major.

 

Much of this work was previously developed by Steven Halpern and Corine

Helene, so you can dig up their books for deeper references. The specific

characteristics given here are a combination of this previous work, and

personal experiences drawn from live performances and individual sessions

with many patients.

 

Here is a list of some major keys, and their correspondences. Remember that

# means sharp, and b means flat. The first five keys have been rigged to

play on my own harps, so there is more direct experience with these. The

others have mostly been checked out on the guitar.

 

C Fundamental to the physical body, and can act on any physical condition.

F Good for moderate relaxation and general calmness. Best in mid-evening.

Bb Deep relaxation, especially in tense situations. Best in late

evening or before a wedding.

G Especially good for digestion. Can calm colicky babies, for example

D Breathing, all respiratory functions. Especially good in mid-morning.

A Active physical work.

E High activity, some stimulation of sexual functions.

Eb Endocrine system stimulation, especially the pituitary gland.

F# Good for prayer (many Native American flutes are in this key).

 

And here are a few minor keys, listed in the order of the previous table as

to correspondence with their relative major keys. The four left out at the

end are not often used and have not been explored at this time due to

technical considerations.

 

Am Navigation and recovery from shock.

Dm Enhancing marriage relationships.

G Possibly a connection with plants in nature, not fully explored.

Em Physical aspects of emotions.

Bm Some sort of inspiration, not fully explored.

 

Beyond this are the other Pythagorean modes, which are covered in the " 7

Keys to Health " article.

 

Each of these keys also corresponds to a particular color. It is known that

the ancient Greeks would place patients in rooms of specific colors to

enhance healing effects. The most workable system so far appears to be

using the direct spectrum like this:

 

C red

D orange

E yellow

F green

G blue

A indigo

B purple

 

In my own research, green and blue have been flipped around, which

symbolizes the way DNA works. So G is green and F is blue. This aspect

should be considered optional at this time, and subject to further

experimentation.

 

Also note that Flamenco music, which is often in a scale outside the

Pythagorean system that originally was developed in India and used

extensively in the Middle East and Spain, has a special purpose. That is to

promote healing of connective tissues, such as ligaments and cartilage.

People with typical sports related injuries would do well to listen to

Flamenco often.

 

By using this table, you can easily correlate Classical works which are

usually titled with key signatures for specific healing practices.

 

This material may be passed on to anyone, provided the author's name and

email address are always attached. Comments on specific cases are always

welcome, as that furthers the research.
