A viewer asks: “Pianos aren’t portable to the hospital/hospice bedside, but electronic keyboards are. So how healing are electronic instruments? Is there any healing accessible through the electronic frequencies?”

The healing benefits are much more a function of the musical intervals, and the interplay of rhythm and melody that will resonate with the soul, than the fine points of acoustics and more complex waveform structures that might be produced by an analog instrument where you have multiple strings, for example, resonating sympathetically as an aspect of the physics of vibration—that can add some richness but is not a major factor. It is somewhat analogous to feeling that a chorus has greater power and effectiveness than a soloist. We would say the effects are inevitably somewhat different, but both can move the soul and will be uplifting. So the experiences might vary somewhat, listening to a full-size symphonic orchestra versus a smaller musical ensemble, but being different does not mean one is superior, inherently. Both have their place, each has special qualities lacking in the other, and whether one is superior is dubious because much will depend on a large number of variables within the listener and the setting, so we think this is a minor matter. After all, what you are truly talking about is a meaningful musical encounter and experiencing for people who otherwise will have little or no music in their lives of any substance or quality. The effects of music go beyond the performer and the instruments used because there will be a reinforcement by beings in the light, under appropriate circumstances, particularly if the musical performance is done by someone with divine healing intentions—that is quite a different thing than the effect of background music from a recording even though that is perhaps better than nothing.
