In Azerbaijan on Gobustan hills there are the paintings of dancing people. The paintings are believed to be at least 25000 years old. In my research I found out that healing through movement and music has been an intrinsic element of life in the Turkic cultures. According to Oruç Güvenç the Uyghur Turks in Central Asia have been doing healing work through dance and music therapy since many centuries. They have had over 400 thousands instruments and in all of central Asia the Turkic tribes used over 1000 musical instruments in therapy. Oruç Güvenç believes that we need to remember the timbres of these instruments to access deeper states of consciousness and health.
