The work explains “medicine wheels” and unseen bodies through music-physiology correspondences, then examines droning, toning, mantra, and chant for aligning mind and body. It develops a harmonic and spiritual framework, including rhythm as pulse, and closes with guidance on how hearing works, plus appendices, sources, and a discography.","SOUNDING THE INNER LANDSCAPE Sounding  \nthe  \nINNER LANDSCAPE Music us Medicine  \nKay Gardner  \nCaduceus Publications Stonington, Maine U.S.A.  \nCopyright © 1990 by Kay Gardner  \nAll rights reserved.
