In the universe, everything sings: plants, animals, waterfalls, bones, people, the stars, the rain, and many things we don’t see. Even silence makes a sound.
From time immemorial, the shaman has heard the hidden music of the universe and sung it back through what I like to introduce as “medicine melodies,” simple tonal configurations that reflect a sacred unity with nature and have the power to heal body, mind, and spirit.
Many people today are visited by such melodies—as if spontaneous transmissions from nature or the spirit world are “singing into” the person rather than the person “singing out.”
