Healing music based on the philosophy of Chinese medicine invoking the Elements: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Triple Warmer. Informed by the most currently accepted theories in neuroscience on the effects of sound vibrations on the brain and consciousness, this music also incorporates musical therapy research and practice relating to the impact of musical modes on the brain and the sense of well-being. This merging of ancient wisdom and contemporary science is the basis for this musical composition, whose purpose is to provide not only a delightful musical experience but to enhance health, facilitate the smooth flow of bio-energy through body & mind, relieve stress, and contribute to a general sense of well- being and relaxation.

The utilization of specific sounds to affect human health and human bio-energy (Qi) systems has been a part of the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine for over 3000 years. According to theories of healing sounds practice, certain

sounds (vibrations) correspond to specific organs, glands and energy channels of the body and mind.
Throughout Chinese history, renowned healers applied the five musical tones associated with the Five Elements and their associated five internal organs to treat illness and maintain good health. The theory of the Five Elements describes the arrangement of all aspects of the phenomenological world into the categories (elements) of Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth. This system of correspondences is fundamental to Traditional Chinese Medical thought and practice.

Leading scientific members of the neuroscience community have recently discovered that intentionally created sounds have specific beneficial effects in the brain and the body.
This merging of ancient wisdom and contemporary science is the basis for this musical composition, whose purpose is to provide not only a delightful musical experience but to enhance health, facilitate the smooth flow of bio-energy through body & mind, relieve stress, and contribute to a general sense of well-being and relaxation.
World-renowned award-winning composer Yuval Ron has utilized the ancient Chinese tonal assignments of the Five Elements in the creation of this beautiful composition. In addition, this composition has been informed by the most current accepted theories in neuroscience on the effects of sound vibrations on the brain and consciousness. This music

also incorporates knowledge from the field of musical therapy research and practice relating to the impact of musical modes on the brain and the sense of well-being.
Included in each track are two vital additional healing elements. You will hear Dr. Richard Gold chanting the specific healing sounds for each element. These healing sounds come from ancient Chinese Chi Kong practice and are designed to facilitate the healthy vibrations and energy flows of the internal organs. In addition, imbedded into each track are affirmations that also derive from Chinese medical theory. These affirmations are not heard by the conscious mind, but are ‘heard’ by the brain (sub-conscious mind) of the listener.

Contains 6 tracks. 4.5 hours of music

Two recommended ways to increase listener participation and benefit are:
1. Listen to the music while holding the intention to be open to any personal affirmations that spontaneously come to mind. Write down your own personal affirmation(s). Then, on subsequent listening to the music, repeat the affirmation(s) at a very slow pace for the entire 45 minutes of the track or for as long as you are comfortable.
2. Refer to the enclosed literature that describes the Qi Gong breathing sounds for each element. Then, as you listen to the music, actively do the breathing sounds along with the music for as long as you are comfortable.

This music is not for the diagnosis nor treatment of any specific disease. See your physician if you seek diagnosis and treatment.
It is may be hazardous to operate heavy equipment or drive while listening to this music.

Our recommendation for the best listening experience

We recommend wired headphones for the optimal experience. Some albums contain low frequencies, so a set with full-range frequency response is recommended. Wired speakers can also provide a good experience when headphones are inconvenient. We do not recommend bluetooth headphones or speakers because they use data compression during their transmission (like streaming audio) which can dilute the original sound vibration of the music.

Our Binaural beats albums benefit most from using wired headphones as there are tones which differ between the left and right side. Your ears will be able hear those tones isolated in order to create the binaural effect.
