Dear Ms Arenofsky,
I am a sound therapist, Music for Healing and Transition student ( www.mhtp.org) and Threshold Choir member (www.thresholdchoir.org). I sing and play singing bowls, tuning forks and zither harp for hospital and hospice patients at their bedsides.
I found your “The Healing Sounds of Music” mini magazine several years ago. It is the most succinct description of how music and sound promote healing. I purchased a case of the little books from American Media and have been handing them out to hospitals, hospices, nursing homes and patients. My supply has now run out. I contacted American Media and they said they are no longer publishing the book.
I find your book invaluable in my practice. Do you know where I can get more of them?
