Synopsis Author and sound healer Jonathan Goldman brings his considerable experience in practicing his discipline's techniques to bear in HEALING SOUNDS, an introduction to the methods behind the age-old practice. Sound healers hypothesize that the body's organs, muscles, and bones vibrate to different frequencies; disease is a symptom of a body's disharmony, and can be cured by "singing" the affected area back to its correct sonic equilibrium. Goldman gives numerous examples of different cultures' uses of sound healing methods, from Tibetan monks to Gregorian chant. He also offers instruction in sound techniques for interested readers to attempt for themselves, including vocal harmonics (the creation of two notes from a single voice), and tuition in making the vowel sounds thought necessary to harmonize the body's chakras, or spiritual points of energy. An absorbing and illuminating primer, HEALING SOUNDS demystifies the theory behind this often therapeutic technique.
