You're listening to Insights at the Edge.

Today my guest is Michael Brandt de Maria. Michael is a psychologist and

multi-award winning composer. He has published and presented numerous papers on

the role of creativity, spirituality, and play in the healing

process.

He's the author of Ever Flowing On and a Book of Poetry, moments. His new album with Sounds True is called In the Flow,

music for Emotional Healing and contains some of Michael's favorite compositions based on their

restorative and healing qualities. In this episode of Insights at the Edge,
