Healing for the Body and Soul
Reb Shaya Higayon Album Demo by Reb Shaya
Enter a world of rest and peace, where your body can relax and your soul can heal from the tumult and stress of daily life. Originally conceived as music to accompany reflexology and massage sessions, this full hour of relaxing, calming music with a rich Jewish flavor serves a purpose similar to when the young Dovid played the harp to soothe King Shaul’s nerves (or possibly heal his depression). Reb Shaya’s masterful improvisations on violin and other solo instruments are musically captivating as well as undeniably therapeutic. There is little question today of music’s healing qualities, and its direct effect on the health of living things. However you choose to interpret it, considerable research has been done on the effect of different types of music on the growth of plants, confirming that plants flourish when exposed to beautiful, calm music and shrivel up when exposed to distorted, harsh music, when compared to plants exposed to no music at all. So It’s time that Jewish music be made for this purpose, especially considering the precedent set by King David when, as a shepherd, he played his harp to calm the King.
