"Beautiful...the most peaceful music I've heard. Congrats." — D. Martin, Bear Creek Gallery

"As a practitioner of music and sound healing, I have listened to many, many examples of healing music through the years. After recent surgery, I was introduced to "Comfort in the Night," the latest effort of two master musicians Werner John and Alana Woods. This lovely marriage of harp, keyboard, and native flute was the CD I found myself listening to night after night during my recovery. It helped me fall asleep, and when I couldn't sleep, held me in a safe, mysterious and soothing place somewhere between earth and sky. Now I listen to it whenever I want to return to that peaceful place."

Sound of Healing

THE USE OF MUSIC AND SOUND AS MEDICINE IS THE MAIN THEME OF THIS 60 MINUTE FILM (available as DVD and VHS). There is a brief history of healing, focusing on ancient Greece and Egypt, where healing rituals revolved around music. Also addressed are today's maladies, Aids, cancer, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The program looks at the uses of music in healing of other ethnic groups such as Tibet, E. Indian (mantras), and Native Americans. Included are scenes showing how music and sound affect breathing, blood pressure, physical fatigue. Case studies include interviews with clients. One is an accident victim, one is at the dentist office, and one is with a 5 year old girl who was born without a corpus callosum, the part of the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres. Much of this film was photographed in the desert and mountains of New Mexico.
