In ancient Greece, Apollo represented both music and medicine. In the Old Testament, poetry attributed to King David is considered some of the most provocative literary and lyrical works in history . Music Healing Therapy - It is undeniable that music and healing have been considered mutually inclusive over the centuries . Lani Star, internationally known for her music performance, maintains a personal philosophy on the healing power of music within every individual. She uses Hawaiian musical wisdom, Eastern yogic sound patterns, and angelic chants to enhance the self – the mind, body, and spirit – and inspire success . For Lani Star, who offers voice lessons while participating in a music retreat, the voice is the manifestation of the soul. Anything that heals the body improves the voice, and anything that is healthy for the voice is healthy for the body. Lani Star’s musical specialty is New Age and mystic jazz, and she makes it a point to spread the healing power of music .

Lani Star states, “A singer must reach within, connecting heart and voice, to produce a powerful resonance that can move their audience to tears. This same power can be used in all areas of life – and not just by professional musicians.” With the power that comes from music, an individual who uses music for healing can manifest the internal self-development in the rest of their life – in their work, their relationships, their hobbies, their friendships . You don’t have aspire to be a professional or have a professional musician’s history. You don’t even have to be good . Music doesn’t have to mean anything beyond what you want it to mean for yourself. Even so, any audience will appreciate the emotional intensity and sincerity as much as or more than the musicality . It is said that an audience will forgive a missed note – they will not forgive an inauthentic performance.

The author of The Mozart Effect, Don Campbell, said that music, even when it’s calm and peaceful, still vibrates with energy and power . When singing, that energy and power comes from deep within your body, and what you bring to it is what comes out, intensified .

Lani Star’s advice for those who wish to achieve self-healing with music is to treat your body like a precious instrument. Your body needs to be nourished in order to protect your voice , and your mind needs to be healthy in order to improve the emotional clarity of the performance. A good diet and lots of water is clinically proven to enhance your mood, and it’s also good for your voice . Lani Star also believes that everything that comes out of your mouth effects the environment within and around you, so it is good for you to listen and sing positive and reinforcing music . Not only does it help you, but it improves the mood of your audience .
