Across the Mystery Schools of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, vibration was understood as the fundamental force shaping all existence. Through specific tones, chants, and harmonic techniques, ancient practitioners used sound to heal the mind, body, and spirit and to access expanded states of consciousness.
Overtone chanting, or vocal harmonics, is the ability to produce two or more notes simultaneously using the human voice. Healing Sounds teaches how to develop this ability step-by-step and experience its profound effects.
Renowned teacher Jonathan Goldman presents a wide range of sound-healing traditions—both mystical and medical—from Tibetan tantric chanting to Dr. Alfred Tomatis’s therapeutic use of Gregorian chant. These examples illustrate how harmonics influence us on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
Filled with accessible exercises and clear instructions, Healing Sounds is the first book to show how the transformative power of sound can be used for complete mind-body-spirit healing.
