Who We Are – Exploring the Unlimited Self
by Laurie Riley
Who are you? Who am I? Those inclined to ask such questions may call ourselves seekers – seekers of spiritual insight, of enlightenment, of something better or bigger or more complete than whoever or wherever we are now. But what exactly are we seeking? It may not be easy to answer this question. How is it possible to define that which we hope to find, if we have not yet attained it? How could we know what it’s like before we get there? And therefore, how can we have any idea of where the path is that leads us there?

Practical Compassion
To what degree are we capable of compassion? How can we be actively compassionate without personal sacrifice? Do others deserve our compassion? Can we be truly happy if we ignore the needs of others? What happens when we don’t help?
In this book, the experiences of many “invisible homebound” individuals are told, our innermost feelings around compassion are explored, and realistic paths to practical action are offered.

Body. Mind and Music
Music effects the body/mind, and the body/mind of the player affects the playing of music. Laurie discusses our cultural relationship with music, how the brain learns it, how we practice it, how we perform it, how we listen to it, how we teach it, and finally, how it is used in purposely therapeutic ways. This is a revised and updated edition (2010) incorporating the addition two of Laurie’s previous books: Nothing Less Than Your Best and The Art of Teaching. This complete guide for all musicians includes:
Music and the Brain: Music is a Language; Practice As Passion; Aural, Kinesthetic and Visual Learning; Focus and Relaxation; Expression; Overcoming Blocks to Musical Progress; What is Talent; Memorizing
How We Learn Music:The Five ways of Learning; Basic Music Terminology; Concert Pitch; Harmonics; Key Changes and the Succession of 5ths; The Art of Teaching; Ergonomics and the Musician’s Body
Music as Therapy: Service vs. Performance; Using Modes and Other Scales; The Human Voice; Improvisational Music; Beneficial Resonant Frequencies; Entrainment; Psychoneuroimmunology/Audioanalgesia; Effects of Toning and Chant; Appropriate Instruments; Acoustic vs. Electric/Electronic Music; Healing Modalities Chart; Music in Medical Settings; Clinical Deportment and Ethics; Terminology of Healthcare Music …and much more!
