As Emmy award-wining journalist Elena Mannes notes in her book, <em>The Power of Music: Pioneering Discoveries in the New Science of Song, <\/em>\u201cToday, science is transforming the idea of music as medicine from myth and guesswork to treatments with proven effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, for millenia, mothers instantaneously have soothed their children\u2019s pain or distress, by singing lullabies; religious leaders profoundly have altered people\u2019s consciousness, by singing spiritual chants; opera singers have shattered glass, by singing at a specific pitch; and everyday people have uplifted their moods and felt transported back in time, by singing or playing a certain song. None of these hundreds of generations of people needed science to validate what they already knew to be true.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, three decades ago, Donatella Moltisanti \u2013 an opera-singer-turned-healer \u2013 trusted her own experience, instead of waiting around for science to catch up with her. Newly-graduated from an Italian music conservatory, where she had studied opera performance and teaching, Moltisanti discovered that her voice catalyzed profound transformations in herself, her students, and her audience members: When she sang, she felt transported to an altered state of consciousness and higher state of awareness, while those around her reported spontaneous emotional breakthroughs and metaphysical experiences. Over the course of their vocal and breath work with Moltisanti, some opera students even experienced physical healings, from ailments as pronounced as scoliosis.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Moltisanti embarked on a quest to understand and amplify the power of music as a channel for healing. To this end, she studied with numerous spiritual teachers from diverse modalities of healing, and ultimately, she developed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/donatellamoltisanti.com\/staging\/services\/moltisanti-soul-healing\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/donatellamoltisanti.com\/staging\/services\/moltisanti-soul-healing\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1509691708489000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEoHjblxVrl8F0Q9iZHjZu5ZcTdxw\">Moltisanti Soul Healing<\/a>\u00a0method \u2013 a six-step process that helps individuals access their core being, let go of residue from trauma, and express themselves authentically.
