Amy Camie’s friend was dying from cancer
and spent her last moments in a hospice room.
Camie felt compelled to help her relax during that time,
and music became the answer.
The resulting cassette tape changed Camie’s life.
As the soft vibrations and sounds
of Camie’s delicately plucked harp strings
wafted from the speakers,
they brought a sense of calm to the room
and made the patient’s body physically relax.
Interested in the patient’s response,
Camie was motivated to play chords for a cause.

Camie, a classically trained harpist,
didn’t realize the power of her music
until she made that cassette tape.
She has played the harp for 35 years
and spent several years playing professionally,
but that changed in the early ’90s
when Camie began to play her harp for healing.
She believes the intentions and energy behind the sound waves
have a holistic power — and she has research to back it up.
In studies conducted by the Scientific Arts Foundation,
an organization that supports the value of creative expression
through community outreach programs, education and research,
Camie’s music induced a substantial calming effect
and normalized imbalanced brainwave frequencies
in four female cancer patients.
Camie is convinced her music has unique healing powers
based on the intentions and emotions she pours into its creation.
“The notes don’t matter,” Camie says. “It’s the energy
that’s riding on the top of those notes.”
In pilot studies by psychologist and neurotherapist William Collins,
Camie’s 1997 album, New Love, was proved to induce relaxation.
She recorded New Love to help her father relax
after his prostate cancer surgery. When recording The Magic Mirror
in 2007, however, Camie didn’t have a purpose in mind.
After her husband, John, showed her ancient crystal healing chants,
the music came to her. Because of this difference,
she thinks the two albums invoke exceptional responses.
“You can have two different harpists playing the same music,
and I know in my heart people will experience that differently
because it’s not the music,” Camie says. “It’s the consciousness of the artist.”
According to Camie, “Everything is energy,”
and music expresses the vibrations of energy that people experience.
The workshop “empowers the audience to become aware
and conscious of what’s energetically within them
and around them,” Camie says.
