Vibro~Acoustic Harp Therapy Vibro~acoustic Harp Therapy(R) (VAHT) works by vibrating and resonating with the tissues of the body, thereby affecting physiological processes. It also affects the mental, emotional and energetic or spiritual aspects of the individual. The harp’s wide range of frequencies and overtones are capable of vibrating the dense, physical body The harp is made of natural materials that resonate with the human body. There is an obvious benefit when one is in the presence of a harp. The natural, aesthetic beauty of the form of the instrument, and its production of warm, full- frequency analog musical information dramatically contrasts with the sterile feel of a CD player with its digitized, recorded music. VAHT is often described as a musical massage. During a VAHT session, live harp music is amplified through a sound table, chair or vibrotactile device. Clients are asked to focus on areas of tension/pain in the body, while specific tones that resonate in those areas are identified. Each client experiences the musical tones in different ways at different times; therefore the therapy is a very dynamic process and is tailored to the unique individual. Appropriate music is improvised or selected, based on the client’s needs. When the client is relaxed, abstract thinking slows and awareness expands. VAHT often produces responses such as deep relaxation, dream-like imagery, pain and tension reduction, increased energy, increased body awareness, and feelings of being nurtured. Imagery often provides new awareness, positive re-framing and/or processing and integration of psychological material. The client/therapist interaction allows for immediate responses in the course of the session.

| Heart Strings® Heart Strings is a multi-faceted program with the intent of bringing the joy of playing the harp to patients in a chronic phase of treatment. Patients will learn in a group setting with others in a similar medical situation. The simple act of plucking the strings and feeling the vibration and focusing on the action of playing beautiful music, gives the patient an outlet for fear, anxiety as well as hope. Many times patients will retreat to their instrument as a mean to release emotions. The program provides each person a chance to learn tunes and improvisations. Many will then purchase their own harp and continue on their musical journey |
