The heart of listening. Music and the arts. The language of music. Listening to music, listening to yourself. The physical power of music -- Hearing the design. Thematic seeds. Circular forms. The enduring power of the Mass. Yesterday's dissonance is today's consonance -- The education of feeling. Ways of listening. Tonality: the homing instinct -- When you are the music. Your unlived life. Bach: the passionate mind. Beethoven: a guide to spiritual evolution. Praise and prayer -- Singing your own song. Toning, singing bowls, and chant. Strike the harp or join the chorus -- The alchemy of music. Earth. Water. Air. Fire. Composing your life. A musical day -- The healing power of music. Anger, catharsis, and transformation. How music heals. Music for the hospital -- Dreaming and dancing. Dreaming by day. Dancing in the dark -- The inner garden. The education of the heart. Schumann and Brahams: Eros and the artist. The garden of love. Mozart: the divine child.
