From the Author

THE MOZART EFFECT
For fifteen years I've taught classes on the transformational powers of sound and music. From research on biofeedback that helps reduce stress, blood pressure and headaches to amazing stories where people have been kept alive during accidents while listening to music, I've persued a field of study that is thousands of years old. From beating drums to conjuring healing spirits to magical baroque music that helps people recover from surgery, music is a marvelous mystery. When I became seriously ill three years ago with a large, inch and a half blood clot behind my right eye, I knew I had to merge the best of western medicine with the cutting edge possibilities of using sound and music to heal myself. Whether it was the miracle of music or the blessings of imagery and a good doctor, I healed quickly. THE MOZART EFFECT came from this experience. With it, comes the full spectrum of the possibilities of music in the future of healing arts. Through your own voice, your style of listening, you too may be able to orchestrate a healtier mind and body by using the MOZART EFFECT tm. -Don Campbell
