The Healing Tradition of the Harp
The harp is steeped in healing tradition. Throughout history, music has been used for healing. David played his harp for the king to sooth him. The ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras believed that individual frequencies in music can support healing in the body. He was reported to have used therapeutic sound to treat physical and emotional problems.
Characteristics
Therapy harp is unique for helping your body heal itself:
- The instrument's archetypal significance as an ancient, spiritual healing instrument, which opens the door to the collective unconscious and, therefore, may facilitate the healing process.
- Its wide pitch range can vibrate the entire body.
- Low C-32.703 Hz / High G-03136.0 Hz
- Its varied and soothing palette of tone colors.
- The ethereal effect created through the harp's unique glissando technique (utilizing enharmonic tones).
- The tension release associated with the emotional expression of plucking its strings, as Pythagoras suggested when he saw the strings as symbols of the nervous system.
