Novermber 2012 Sound Healing with Norma Gentile
O VOS FLORES / YOU WHO ARE ROSE BLOSSOMS
A medieval song by St. Hildegard of Bingen
Norma Gentile, voice
Gordon Johnston, harp improvisation
Hildegard’s music can be both powerful and gentle, drawing us inside of her chant and then providing us with a moment to find unknown strength within us. At the end of the song, during the final silence, notice your body’s breath. Here is where the healing happens. Be still, and allow yourself to receive it.
As was the tradition, Hildegard wrote all of her sacred songs and books in Latin. Here is a poetic translation by Norma of Hildegard’s original Latin words:
You, who are rose blossoms,
who in the flowing of blood are blessed,
exuding the greatest scent of joy
and giving off the grace
which flows from the knowing
of the inner mind,
enduring from before eternity,
through that One who has no beginning.
In your companionship may there be honor,
you who are instruments of the sacred gathering,
And through whose wounds life-blood streams.
with that One, who has no beginning.
