Dr. Christenson, aloha ~ Oh my goodness, what a lovely thing you have shared with our community. I just finished watching the video (and also marked "like"). I hope next year that we will be there to see this in person. It does feel the spirit was swirling around you, within you, in your music, and you helped to carry it out even further to everyone. Thank you for sharing this film clip. I am truly looking forward to meeting you. Blessings,  Sheryl S.

Aloha Elizabeth! Such beautiful and healing sound, Kthanada

and music and medicine. ____________________________________

Dr. Christenson grew up in a musical and medical family. Her father was an Ophthalmologist and violinist. She started out with piano and classical guitar in her younger age and was inspired to play harp just before she went to medical school. She continued to play harp throughout her medical career. She discovered the link between music and medicine when she studied Chinese Medicine Five Element Theory which explained how music affects mind, body and spirit.
She is the author of the chapter entitled “Chinese Five Element Music Healing” for the book  “Harp Therapy Cradle of Sound” by Christina Tourin (2006). In the book she explains: “The healing effect of harp can be explained through the physics of vibratory energy: Based on the theory of frequency, diseases are caused by or the cause of disharmony/disfrequency of the body, such as lacking certain frequencies or making wrong frequencies. The harp with its multiple strings (such as the 23-string lever therapy harp played in this CD) can produce ‘Complex Harmonic Motion’ that results in its characteristic richness, soothing, gentle tones and near infinite number of frequencies generated by the vibratory quality of each string and its ‘harmonics’. The vibratory nature of the harp sound generates a near infinite amount of normalizing frequencies, either scattered or resonant in various places of the body, including acupuncture meridians, intracellular spaces, intercellular spaces, interstitial spaces, etc., which can cause profound physiological effects in the body such as alteration of mood, mental status, heartbeat, lung mechanisms, neurotransmitters, immunity, enzymatic reactions, hormonal secretions, cellular metabolisms, etc., which can balance the abnormal frequencies. Based on the physics of vibratory energy, all material substances have natural vibratory energy which create their own natural resonating frequencies. The laws of energy in the body exhibit the same natural resonating frequencies in each and every cell of the human body. Just as a singer can shatter a wine glass with her voice when her pitch matches the exact frequency of the glass, the sound frequencies can alter the cell membrane structure.
It has been demonstrated that sound frequencies can even shatter cancer cells. The shock waves produced by
a lithotripter that can pulverize stones in the body
and a harmonic scalpel producing high frequency
sound waves that can coagulate blood vessels during surgery are examples of the physiological effects
of sound waves in the body.

Comments from Listeners

Dear Dr. Christenson:
     Thank you so much for playing harp for me.  During my acupuncture session I felt your harp vibration came to my face and I felt the congestion and ache in my sinus cavities was open up. My sinus headache went way. The sinus pain scale was 3/10 and now I do not feel any pain. Thank you.
-- Madeline G.

Dear Dr. Christenson,
     Thank you so much for entertaining our PEO (Providing Educational Opportunities for Women) group with such a charming and instructive presentation. Most of us had not seen a portable harp, so it was a pleasure to learn, listen, strum and pluck! The expertise you shared by the playing of the instrument demonstrated how dedicated you must have been to become so accomplished.  Thank you again for the best "guest speaker" we have had.
-- Billie

Dear Dr. Christenson,
     I have been so blessed and deeply moved by your Divine Harp playing - what a precious gift. Thank you very much for sharing the two beautiful books of Dr. Sha: Soul Communication (it was just what I needed as I opened to "Divine Forgiveness" deep inner peace that day you gave it to me) and Living Divine Relationships (this will be so helpful, too, as I was blessed to have the Karma cleansing for all relationships at the longevity and rejuvenation retreat in Kona.)  I am grateful for the blessing. Thank you so much for thinking of me and for your kindness. I have been so blessed and deeply moved by your Divine Harp playing - what a precious gift. 
-- Love and Mahalo, Jan

Dear Dr. Christenson,
     On behalf of the Interdisciplinary Palliative Care Team, I would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to provide the beautiful harp music for "The Music of Palliative Care - Orchestrating Care at the End of Life" Fair on January 30, 2007. It was a great success with 254 people in attendance. The music certainly played an important role in enhancing the soothing ambiance for the day. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful gift of therapeutic harp.
-- Sincerely, Reverend J. S.

Aloha Dr. Christenson,
     Thank you for sharing your beautiful healing harp music with us at the Honolulu Academy of Arts Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday this Sunday. This month's Family Sunday celebrated the Chinese New Year of the Tiger and saw over 2000 guests pass through the gates. Your soothing harp melodies gave us a reprieve from the hectic lifestyle many of us lead and also served to balance the day's performances of Martial arts and Lion dancing. Your introduction to Chinese Qi-gong and the five elements gave many an opportunity to move and experience the healing that Chinese medicine has brought to the West. Thank you so much for all you do and for sharing the Chinese arts with so many.  
-- Warmly, Sonia F.

Dear Dr. Christenson:
     I want to thank you very much for playing your harp in my party. I am receiving much compliments about your harp from my guests. I would summarize their comments as: Magical... soothing... transcending... relaxing... and the way the three of you (two professional singers and guitars) played together without any rehearsing was really amazing!
-- Carla J.

Dear Dr. Christenson,
     My mother-in-law shared your music with us during our recent visit to Honolulu. I was truly amazed by how soothing your music was to my 2 year-old son. I would love to purchase your CD. Please let me know how I can send you payment. Thank you!
-- Warmly, Juanita P.

Aloha Elizabeth,
     Thank you so much for the CD of your beautiful harp music. It was such a delight to find your lovely gift in my mailbox. I have already listened to the CD several times and found the music wonderfully soothing and therapeutic. In fact, after a particularly stressful and long day at work last week, I put on the head phones, closed my eyes, and began to listen. Within moments, I noticed my breathing had become much slower and deeper and I felt much more relaxed. Moments of peace amidst my hectic life are very precious - mahalo! Thank you for the gift of your music, your presence, and your friendship.
-- Lisa J.

Dr. Elizabeth Chen,
     Thank you for entertaining us with the beautiful harp music at the seminar lunch that was excellent. The food was delicious, the music was relaxing and inspiring to the soul. Enclosed is a check for the CD. Mahalo!
-- Frances M.
