The Musical Body Harmonizer

A TRANSFORMATIONAL MUSICAL JOURNEY TO AWAKEN YOUR ENERGETIC BODY

The Ison Method™
“In 1980 I was in a serious car accident. Left unable to walk, I drew upon my experience as a musician and energy practitioner to explore how I could use breath, meditation, and sound to heal myself. To my doctor’s amazement, I quickly made a full recovery. Wanting to share my experience with others, I refined what I had discovered and created a new kind of music, and I also developed a new way of using music, which I call The Ison Method™.

Interested in my work, The National Institutes of Health funded a three-year study that demonstrated my music’s ability to elicit ’the relaxation response.’ Since that time the NIH has used this music with more than half a million of their patients.” —David Ison

THE MUSICAL BODY: HARMONIZER—AWAKEN YOUR ENERGY WITHIN
This recording utilizes The Ison Method™ to release blockages in your body created by years of emotional and physical stress. The Musical Body: Harmonizer will lead you through each of your seven energy centers, or chakras, and awaken your energetic body. As your vital force begins to flow freely, you will experience waves of relaxation and an expansive sense of emotional freedom as old patterns fade and new possibilities for healing, thinking and living reveal themselves to you.

How to use The Musical Body: Harmonizer
The Musical Body: Harmonizer utilizes transformational healing music, breath, and meditation techniques to create a state of deep, grounded relaxation, and to awaken your own vital energy source.

On this CD, you will receive two programs. In the first, you’ll hear a spoken overview of The Ison Method™ and then a brief introduction about each chakra and how it relates to specific functions and emotional characteristics. Each spoken segment is followed by music composed in a specific key which resonates with that particular chakra. This music also utilizes rising and falling chord structures that entrain the breath to slow and lengthen until deep relaxation occurs. The combined experience will allow you to let go of emotional, spiritual and personal blockages held in each of your energy centers, and release the free flow of energy throughout your entire mindbody system.

The second program provides just the music, for an uninterrupted journey through your energetic body. Each section is separated by deep bell tones that identify the movement up your spine from one chakra to the next.

Listen to the overview and spoken chakra introductions as many times as needed to familiarize yourself with The Ison Method™, and consult the chart included on the back of this CD to understand where the chakras are located in your body. As you become familiar with the program, you can skip ahead directly to the music-only portion to experience profound relaxation, the expansive freedom that results from letting go of old energetic patterns, and an awakening of your natural healing and life-giving energy—your vital force.

David Ison
A musician, composer, recording artist, and teacher for more than 30 years, David Ison’s music has been used by hospitals, healthcare practitioners, and individuals worldwide. His music has been played for patients in such esteemed health centers as Bethesda Naval Hospital, Scripps Center of Integrative Medicine, and Children’s Hospital in San Diego. A three-year study by the National Institutes of Health found that Ison’s music effectively induces the relaxation response, and relieves many symptoms of anxiety and stress.

The Ison Method™ resulted from David Ison’s own healing experience after a serious car accident left him unable to walk. Not wanting to rely on surgery and medication, he drew upon his expertise as a musician, longtime meditator, and an energy practitioner to explore how sound, breath, and meditation could help him heal, and eventually enjoyed a full recovery. Along the way he learned powerful lessons about how to tap into his own life force energy, sometimes referred to as qi or prana, to facilitate healing on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. He later refined these techniques into a unique program of transformational healing music with special meditation, breathing, and listening techniques that can help anyone connect to their own wellspring of healing potential and unlock the life-force within.

David continues to explore the effectiveness of sound and music, creating new compositions with his longtime collaborator Paul Wegmann. David regularly lectures and conducts training workshops on The Ison Method™ at conferences and medical centers around the country.
