The Healing Power of Sound with Darlene Koldenhoven

New Thinking AllowedSep 25, 2026

Grammy-winning vocalist Darlene Koldenhoven, soprano soloist on Yanni's Live at the Acropolis, joins psychologist Jeffrey Mishlove to explore the healing power of sound, from Alfred Tomatis's listening therapy to quartz crystal singing bowls. She describes the claim that hearing tests can reveal the year of a person's childhood trauma and that acoustically filtered Mozart can retrain the ear. The conversation ends with her paranormal experiences, including a childhood flash of untaught musical knowledge and a 2007 performance where glowing orbs appeared to rush into her mid-aria.
