David Ison
David Ison has been a composer, audio designer, sound engineer, meditation teacher, author, and energetic practitioner for more than 40 years. Faced with severe spinal injuries due to a car accident in 1980, he joined his musical skills with his extensive knowledge of meditation practices and the human energetic system in order to avoid surgery and to recover full mobility of his legs and torso. Out of this experience, he developed the compositional and psychological techniques that are the backbone of The Ison Method.
David has produced dozens of therapeutic compositions, and his work is utilized by some of the most prestigious medical institutions around the country and the world, including Bethesda Naval Hospital, San Diego Children’s Hospital, and The Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. In 1999, the National Institutes of Health published a three-year study on his music, which clinically validated the music’s capability to bring about the relaxation response within the listener as well as demonstrating that the music led to a significant reduction of a wide variety of stress-related symptoms.
David continues to teach meditation, lecture, and conduct training workshops on The Ison Method at conferences and medical centers around the world.
