The Ancient Codes of Healing /Music

Since the beginning of time, man has used music to call forth healing spirits; banish evil; dispel illness-causing energies; and create a place of comfort and wellness. Indigenous peoples around the world and throughout time have utilized this power of music to cure everything from schizophrenia to snake bites.

Much of the world discarded music as a healing tool, though, when science seduced our medical practitioners. Using music to reduce high blood pressure or cure cancer is considered as bizarre, to many, as using leeches. However, there is much proof that music does heal, and there are many brave souls who are now breaking new ground in using music along with more accepted western healing modalities.

Unfortunately, one of the most powerful tools of music healing has been mostly forgotten; lost in the enthusiastic rush to embrace scientific medicine. It is an ancient code which converts the letters in one's name, and the numbers in one's birthdate, into notes of the musical scale. Haydn, Brahms, Ravel and other composers used it to create emotional pieces of music, although to my knowledge they never used it for anything like actual healing sessions.

The power of these codes was tapped by an accompished harpist in the 1970's. Joel Andrews was a concert harpist; had toured extensively, and was very well known in the musical world. However, as is the case with many musicians, there came a time when the superficiality and pretentiousness of the concert business began to bother him. He knew, somehow, that the forces which had guided him throughout his life had something else in store for him. He felt compelled to turn his talents to healing.

Joel had had a teacher - Carlos Salzedo - who had given him the ancient code that Haydn and Brahms had used to improvise music. Until the spring of 1970, Joel had no reason to utilize or even remember it. However, in an impromptu session in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he was asked to improvise for a person who was not well, and thought to use the code to have a basis for the composition. He and the others in the room focused on an individual who needed healing, and prayed for her higher good. The power in the room was awesome, the music inspiring, the healee began to transform. Thus began Joel's journey as a musical healer, and thus came to us this incredible information, which allows intuitive musicians to tap into the power of this ancient code.

The question is - how does it Work?

The body is a manifestation of underlying vibrational patterns. Every action that we perform requires coordination of parts of the body, and all of those parts have their own unique vibrational frequency. For us to function, to perform tasks, the vibrations of all the coordinating parts of the body must be in sync.

Further, we all have a physical body, but beyond that are our etheric body, our emotional body, and our mental body. They, too, receive and emit frequencies, and when using music for healing, we work with all three "outer" bodies as well as the physical body. It seems that it is some melding of the subconscious and these outer bodies, between the healer and the individual being healed, that conducts the healing energy of music.

Music is sound, sound is energy - like everything else. Everything we hear, every vibration that goes through us, affects us. Thoughts, emotions, memories; all of those also affect our personal rate of vibration, and when we are not in sync, then we experience disease or illness. This is where the music comes in. The vibration of music makes it a catalyst for healing for a human being, or an animal or plant, or, in fact, anything that has consciousness, because music can put back "'in tune" the vibrations that make us unwell.

Imagine that there is some underlying emotional or psychological blockage in the transmission of energy throughout the body. Something is disrupting the rate of vibration of one or all of the bodies. To the individual experiencing it, they feel sick. They are unwell. They ask for healing.

I should stress at this point that, as a healer using music and these ancient codes, I, and others like me, do not do the actual healing. We are merely conduits for the healing energy; for the power of the individual to take hold and make themselves well. No healer can heal someone who has not asked, or is not ready.

The ancient codes work on this principle. Underlying our perception of ourselves, is our name. We are given a name at birth, but we also change our name over our lifetimes some of us many times. it says to us and to the world, who we are. But more importantly, for the purposes of healing, it is telling us what you are about in this lifetime. It gives a "blueprint", if you will, of our life path. Joel Andrews learned that in our names is a universal code translating that energy into musical notes; independant of language and time.

By tapping into the energy created by your name and the energy of Higher Sources, musician healers like Joel and myself are able to create music consisting of a pattern of vibrations which help re-tune a person's energy field.

The individual's own subconscious takes on the new, melodic and rhythmic patterns that are created with the music, and superimposes them over the inharmonic, negative patterns that are currently creating illness. It is not a miraculous, instant healing. Usually it takes place over time, as the healee listens over and again to a recording made of the created music. Sometimes, though, it can be a quite sudden easing of pain or other symptoms.

Like any other healing modality, the ancient codes of music must be used with respect by the healer; honoring the healee's free will and life path. When used with love and joy, the wondrous power of music can help a person heal themselves - it's up to them to be ready and willing to be well and whole.
