“Riding the Crest”
The musical pulse is like the wave. When a musician finds the Pulse, everything changes; he becomes free. He is suddenly being swept along by the glorious power of music.

“Postoperative Singing”
Here's a wild suggestion. Some people have their blood taken when healthy and kept in storage for any future catastrophe. What if they also made recordings of their singing to be played back to them if they ever needed emergency surgery?
“Detachment Listening to Music – or Loneliness”
Some time ago, a strange and wondrous state befell me. For the first time in my life, when I put on a record I heard only the music.
“Lucky and His Magic Broom”
Someone in Austria told me about Lucky -- he played the broom! I eventually found him in a tiny village where he'd farmed all his life.
“The Body Shell Syndrome”
Introduces a pervasive but common syndrome, associated with the circulation-sex acupuncture meridian, that impacts a person's ability to relate to the world.
“Playing the Violin and Tongue Position”
What difference could the position of the tongue possibly make to the playing of the violin? Try it. If you are sensitive to music you will certainly hear the difference.
“Breathing and the Respiratory Stumble”
Perhaps the first thing that happens when we are confronted with any sort of stress is that we jam our breath. We stop breathing. Watch the dental patient walk in the office and see the dental chair. Immediately his breathing will jam. He will have what we call a “respiratory stumble.”
“How’s Your Memory?”
I once gave a seminar for a dental society and there, as with nearly every other dental society, we found the following: When the dentists thought of dentistry, nearly all of them suffered a lowering of their Life Energy, indicating the stress of their profession and the fact that they are ill at ease with their work.
“Dental Appliances: Metal Across the Midline”
I saw a woman who was complaining of great difficulty with her thinking. She was aware that she was not able to think as clearly as she once could. We also found that she had quite a marked dyslexia. It was then that I discovered she was wearing a dental appliance that had metal crossing her midline.
“Dentists and Intimacy”
Virtually every dentist is stressed by the statement that he likes his patients. If I ask a dentist to name the patients he saw the day before, he usually has difficulty remembering even one. But he can remember their mouths. If he does name a few patients − “I like Mr X,” and so on, he will usually find this stressful.
