We all know, that the music we listen to affects us. A lively Bach Concerto encourages attention and clear thinking, while a CD of harp music and the sounds of ocean waves relaxes us and relieves stress. But how can we find just the right music to complement our state of mind, heal our emotional and physical ills, or further our spiritual  yearnings?

In this revised and updated edition of a best-selling classic, musical therapist and teacher Hal Lingerman presents a  wealth of resources for choosing and locating just the right music for physical, emotional and spiritual growth and healing. With comprehensive lists of current recordings, including new and remastered CD's, Lingerman's exhaustive sourcebook will guide you in finding music to benefit your temperament, lifestyle and spiritual aspirations. Includes expanded chapters on Women's Music, World Music, the Music of Nature and Angelic Music.

From Chapter 3 - 'Finding Your Music' (p. 58):

" Music is a cry of the Soul. It is a revelation, a thing to be reverenced. Performances of a great musical work are for us what the rites and festivals of religion were to the ancients - an Initiation into the Mysteries of God and the human Soul. "
