Music Soothes The Savage Beast

Hehehe yeah like as if this little fellow looks much like a savage beast .. :roll:

I have long felt that music was an integral part to my own healing process. When I am feeling sick or even blue I will often listen to my MP3 player in bed, and this will definitely help in relaxing me, and overall making me feel better.

When I cam across an article in regards to pets enjoying the healing power of music I was not intrigued, but not exactly surprised. Here is a snippet:

The healing power of music has long been established in people. Now a handful of harpists throughout the country are harnessing that power for animals.

Alianna Boone is one of those musicians.

“The structure of the harp is considered to be the most healing instruments next to human voice,” said Boone, an Oregonian who plays for ill family pets and produced a CD "Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast."

While anecdotal reports abound, Boone conducted one of the few studies on harp music’s effect on animals. In 2000, she performed for recently hospitalized canines at a Florida veterinary clinic. The hour-long sessions immediately began to lower heart rate, anxiety, and respiration in many cases, she said.

I can't seem to find a CD of Aliana Boones music "Harp music to soothe the savage beast". I am also looking for "Harp of Hope". Any ideas? Thanks

I found Harp of Hope on Dr. Diane Schneider's web site: http://harpist1.tripod.com/index.html. I searched on Google for Dr. Diane Schneider & found the site there. You can email Alianna Boone at vboone@aug.com about her CD.

If you Google "Harp Music to Soothe the Savage Beast" under images, not web, you'll find images of the cover (green with a basset hound and harp). If you follow the link, most of them lead you to on-line stores that sell it, generally for $20.
