Edgar Cayce, one of the most notable American psychics of the 20th century, possessed clairvoyant powers and entered a trance state during his so-called “Readings”, answering the individual’s questions. In the book written by Dorothée Koechlin de Bizemont: Edgar Cayce, Healing through music, he proposed using music actively, that is, not just listening, but also playing an instrument or singing. We should sing every day and be aware of the enormous healing power of the voice. Here are some paragraphs from the book:
“December 21, the longest night of the year, opens invisible worlds over music that bring light with them. It is, of course, the Celtic tradition of the winter solstice.
Unforgettable experience for these Palestinian shepherds:
“The Entity was among those who lived in the country of the hills around Bethlehem, when the shepherds heard the voices, the ‘Alleluias’ that came to warn them of the birth of their king, their savior. The Entity was first awakened by shouts of joy around the city of Bethlehem (…). His whole life then was turned upside down. He felt the profound desire to catch hold of this song from heaven, this music from heaven: they were the vibrations of the celestial spheres, at the moment when all of nature proclaimed this joyous event in the experience of men.
Some of us feel inexplicable nostalgia that no psychiatrist is in a position to learn (…unless he has accepted the reality of previous lives). This is the case of this consultant:
“From the time when his star disappeared, at the time of his flight from Egypt (…), comes his current state of mind. When he sits alone at twilight and when he perceives again the music of the heavenly spheres and the song of the stars rising as the sun sets, while the earth grows still…it is often at this moment that peace returns to him, a peace only disturbed by the concern of daily tasks”.
Edgar Cayce knew how to discover therapeutic and medicinal powers in music that can help prevent states of discomfort and anxiety (and all the psychosomatic illnesses that they entail), as well as relieve and even cure a wide range of physical, emotional and mental disorders. Music is used by Edgar Cayce as a natural medicine, whose nature and dose must be carefully studied so that the beauty of the notes produces the desired result on health and well-being.
