Eliana Gilad
Eliana Gilad is an internationally recognized composer of healing music and founder of the Voices of Eden Healing Music and Peace Center in the Galilee, Israel. As an expert in the conscious use of voice and rhythm as natural healing instruments, a practice that goes back to ancient times, her unique wordless music has been medically researched in the neonatal ward of Meir Hospital, where physicians discovered that it lowers blood pressure and heart rate. It also increases focus and quality of sleep.
Gilad is a frequent keynote presenter and performer at healing music, medical, and peace conferences throughout the United States, Canada, Israel, Cyprus, and Europe, in countries that include Germany, Czechoslovakia, France, England, and the Netherlands. She has given concerts at the United Nations in New York, the UNESCO International Conference in Nazareth, Israel, and the 2003 Thank Water Conference at the shores of the Sea of Galilee, for example, where she presented alongside Dr. Masaru Emoto of What the Bleep Do We Know?! fame. Dr. Emoto has photographed a water crystal exposed to the music that Gilad composed for the medical research project that demonstrates its harmony. Her music has been recognized for providing a peaceful bridge between the Jewish and Arab populations of Israel as it bypasses spoken language and speaks to the heart. Her concerts and workshops are offered in churches, synagogues, and yoga and spiritual centers wherever she goes.
At the Voices of Eden Healing Music and Peace Center, Gilad teaches “Sacred Healing Music,” a course for individuals and groups based on the five principles of her approach. Diverse groups and organizations also come to the Center to enjoy concerts, workshops, team-building retreats, and music meditations. She frequently appears on international television and radio programs, and she is the Middle East correspondent for Rhythm Web and contributes a blog to Therapy Times. Her essays on healing music and peace have appeared in numerous print and online journals.
Gilad holds a bachelor’s degree in Near Eastern Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, and is fully accredited through a professional studies program in Eastern Classical Music from Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, Israel. Her musical influences include vocalist Bobby McFerrin, drummer Glen Velez, and sacred music and folk masters from the Eastern traditions. Her spiritual influences include Lester Levenson, Paramahansa Yogananda, Ramana Maharshi, and Nandu Menon.
Quiet in the Eye of the Storm is Gilad’s second book.
