In 1980 David Ison was in a serious car accident. Left unable to walk, he drew upon his experience as a musician and meditation teacher to explore how he could use breath, meditation, and sound to heal himself. To his doctor’s amazement, he quickly made a full recovery. Wanting to share his experience with others, he refined what he had discovered and created a new kind of music, and also a new way of using music, which he called The Ison Method™.

The National Institutes of Health funded a three-year study that demonstrated the transformational effectiveness of Ison’s music. Since that time the NIH has used this music with more than half a million of their patients.
