“the use of live harp music to effect positive changes in emotional, physical, mental and/or spiritual functioning of individuals with health problems.”
What
The goal of harp therapy is to ease suffering, enhance quality of life and promote healing on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Is harp therapy?
Why the harp?
“The sound of the harp approaches pure sound more closely than any other instrument.” Christina Tourin
The wave forms of harp strings come closest of all natural instruments to a pure figure eight pattern. Also, as Gail Barber explains, “the harp has a more pure sound because the partials closest to the fundamental note in the harmonic series are emphasised.” Cradle of Sound.
on therapeutic storytellyng
We are made of the Stories that have been told to us and the ones that we are able to create for ourselves and society. We just need to learn again how to open up to their incredibly transformative potential and how to use them for personal growth and wellbeing.
Therapeutic Storytelling is one of the most accessible GIM&HT methods. It can be used with kids, teenagers and adults alike. In schools, day centers, nursing homes, as well as businesses and organizations.
