Psalm 150 in Lydian mode 🌿

Lydian mode in the key of C ~ put your F sharps up and start with C as your tonic 🪉

I was doing a harp flow and loved how this beautiful sound could be so versatile and used for harp therapy and worship 🌞

Did you know negative emotions affect your health and longevity?

🌿 What we think and feel has a real impact on how the body functions, including long-term health and susceptibility to disease.

🪉 Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of how our thoughts and emotions influence the immune system.

🌿 Negative emotions, self-perception, anxiety, and low mood can trigger a sustained negative response in the body, where hormones like cortisol and adrenaline remain elevated.

🪉Over time, this can:

suppress immune cell activity

increase inflammation in the body

reduce the body’s ability to fight infection

slow down healing (in some studies, by up to 40%)

🌿 Listening to and actively engaging with calming music you enjoy can help regulate emotional state and reduce these responses in the body.

🪉 It can support healthier thought patterns and settle the mind, which then influences our emotional and physical health over time.

🌿 Having a positive sense of self and others and maintaining a good spiritual life are all good indicators for longevity and long term health.

🪉 2 Corinthians 10:5 ‘Take every thought captive to the mind of messiah’ 🕊️

The harp has been used for thousands of years for healing and is one of the most ancient instruments we have🪉

One of our first depictions of ancient music therapy is Biiblical, Saul is healed when David plays the harp ✨

In 1 Samuel 16:23 it says:
“So it would come about whenever the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, that David would take the lyre and play with his hand. Then Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him.”

The word here for “refreshed” in Hebrew is ravach
(וְרָוַח לְשָׁאוּל — ve-ravach leSha’ul)
“and relief came to Saul.”

Ravach has multiple meanings:
relief, a widening, and space to breathe again.

Ravach is the administering and revach is the receiving.

This is really interesting because this is exactly in modern music therapy what the harp is used for.

In the spiritual, worship on any instrument is able to deliver people from evil spirits, but specifically here the harp can provide us with the physical and emotional easing that comes with revach 🌙

Sweet the new rainfall ~ sunlit from heaven 🌞

This beautiful song from ‘Morning Has Broken’ ~ The melody is a traditional Scottish tune called “Bunessan.”
It comes from the Scottish Highlands, specifically the Isle of Mull.

The tune was originally associated with Gaelic hymns and folk songs.

The lyrics, however, are not ancient. They were written in 1931 by English poet Eleanor Farjeon, a well-known writer of children’s literature and hymns. So the song is a blend: Scottish traditional melody + 20th-century English hymn text.

It was later popularised in the 60’s as a folk song by Cat Stevens.

River Flows In You 🪉

Music is healing for animals as well as humans!

I always find it so interesting how sensitive and interested animals are in the sound of the harp

Animal psychologists have discovered that animals prefer species specific music with lower tones which is why the harp with it’s mellow and calming sound is so attractive

There are even studies that classical music can decrease stress in animals in the same way as humans but loud jarring music can cause stress.
