Hi, Tom, thanks for using the line breaks more, now. It does make stuff easier to read. Good for you, for making music and making up for the lack of support when you were a child!

I grew up in a musical family with a brother who is a classical composer. Ever since i can remember, I have seen scenes, colours, etc. when listening to or making music. My brother trained my "ear" without my even knowing it, in that he made it so much fun to listen for the "pictures" and also to hear each section of instruments, individually, in a symphony, etc., so that I could hear all of the composition, not just the "final mix." Though he is a challenge, I will be grateful, forever, for his tutelage and that of my parents and other siblings, as well as great music teachers.

You might be interested in Ancient Seekers of Universal Harmony (scroll down the page a bit.) (I am not familiar with Ani Williams, just found her site by searching Google for samples of ancient civilisations which correlated music and colours.

My brother has had several articles published on the healing power of music and has also opined a way of using music, geography, colours, etc. to help prevent earthquakes.

You might also find this of interest Click here. Some folks have been *rediscovering* some ancient techniques which can have a healing effect, imo, involving the chakras, sounds, and colour.

Thanks for a great thread!
