Ep6. The Healing Medicine Found in [Sufi...

Erika Welch
About this episode

Pythagoras used to prescribe song and music for various ailments like depression and anxiety. But of course, ancient wisdom would prescribe us song or movement as a healing modality, wouldn't it? Erika sits down with Fadi Rifaai in this episode, who is a Singer, Actor and Writer with a particular penchant for communing with God through singing Sufi Poetry. In this episode, you will witness the power of music. Witness how one human being can become an antenna for us all to connect to Spirit, through the simple revolutionary act of emptying oneself to become a musical vessel. Get ready to feel the healing medicine found in music in this very special episode where music = liberation.
