    6. SONG TO HEAL THE EARTH
    This is the earth-healing song that is used by the Carpathian women to heal soil filled
     with various toxins. The women take a position on four sides and call to the universe
     to draw on the healing energy with love and respect. The soil of the earth is their
     resting place, the place where they rejuvenate, and they must make it safe not only
     for themselves but for their unborn children as well as their men and living children.
     This is a beautiful ritual performed by the women together, raising their voices in
     harmony and calling on the earth’s minerals and healing properties to come forth and
     help them save their children. They literally dance and sing to heal the earth in
     a ceremony as old as their species. The dance and notes of the song are adjusted according
     to the toxins felt through the healer’s bare feet. The feet are placed in a certain
     pattern and the hands gracefully weave a healing spell while the dance is performed.
     They must be especially careful when the soil is prepared for babies. This is a ceremony
     of love and healing.
    Musically, the ritual is divided into several sections:
    • First verse : A “call and response” section, where the chant leader sings the “call” solo, and
     then some or all of the women sing the “response” in the close harmony style typical
     of the Carpathian musical tradition. The repeated response— Ai Emä Maye —is an invocation of the source of power for the healing ritual: “Oh, Mother Nature.”
    • First chorus : This section is filled with clapping, dancing, ancient horns and other means used
     to invoke and heighten the energies upon which the ritual is drawing.
    • Second verse
    • Second chorus
    • Closing invocation: In this closing part, two song leaders, in close harmony, take all the energy gathered
     by the earlier portions of the song/ritual and focus it entirely on the healing purpose.
    What you will be listening to are brief tastes of what would typically be a significantly
     longer ritual, in which the verse and chorus parts are developed and repeated many
     times, to be closed by a single rendition of the final invocation.

    7. CARPATHIAN CHANTING TECHNIQUE
    As with their healing techniques, the actual “chanting technique” of the Carpathians
     has much in common with the other shamanistic traditions of the Central Asian steppes.
     The primary mode of chanting was throat chanting using overtones. Modern examples
     of this manner of singing can still be found in the Mongolian, Tuvan and Tibetan traditions.
     You can find an audio example of the Gyuto Tibetan Buddhist monks engaged in throat
     chanting at: http://www.christinefeehan.com/carpathian_chanting/.
    As with Tuva, note on the map the geographical proximity of Tibet to Kazakhstan and
     the Southern Urals.
    The beginning part of the Tibetan chant emphasizes synchronizing all the voices around
     a single tone, aimed at healing a particular “chakra” of the body. This is fairly
     typical of the Gyuto throat-chanting tradition, but it is not a significant part of
     the Carpathian tradition.
