Author of Molecules of Emotion, Candace Pert is a professor of

physiology and biophysics at the town University School of

Medicine, where she researches the way emotions and thoughts manifest

themselves in the body at the molecular level. In other words, she's a

doctor who has proven the correlation between our mental and physical

well-being. " Some of the most unwell, frightened, miserable folks I

know are disease-free, according to their annual checkup, " she says.

And the reverse is also very true: " Good health, " she says, " is so

much more than the absence of disease. " With Psychosomatic Wellness,

Pert introduces us to music, words, and tones that can help us unlock

the means to use our minds to heal and regulate our bodies, for left

untrained our minds often tend to inflict negative emotion and stress

on the body. This CD will help you even if, as Pert says, you're " just

looking to find a scientifically grounded way to relax and enjoy

yourself.”

To reach these levels, Pert makes fine use of music, which, " like our

bodies, is structured vibrations of energetic patterns...our bodies

can literally resonate with the music we hear. " She brings in musician

Lanny Meyers " together with his longtime, adorable musical

collaborator Greg Arnold. " They come in on the hour-long track to lay

down a 25-minute stretch of relaxing music, based on a system that

uses LanNiels conversion, conceived by Lanny Meyers via the atomic

relationships defined by Niels Bohr's theory of electrons. The booklet

included in the CD reminds us that " emotions trigger altered states of

consciousness just like drugs " and that " each state of mind is like a

different wavelength of light. "

After the period of relaxation, Pert takes us through the prisms of

our chakras, describing them as " beautiful spinning circles of color

that move at their own speed, some moving slowly, some moving quickly,

as you continue to relax even more. " If our body-mind connection was a

guitar, it’s as if we are always damaging the frets, breaking strings,

blowing out the amp, and warping the neck. Pert can teach us to treat

our instrument with care, love, and respect, and the beautiful music,

irresistible to all of our many minds, can't help but follow.
