30 years ago, Jonathan Goldman wrote a book called Healing Sounds. He has now released an updated 30th Anniversary version so we get to learn about it on CBZ! Jonathan Goldman, M.A., is an award-winning musician, composer, writer, teacher, and chant master. An international authority and founding pioneer in the field of sound healing, he is the author of several books, including The Humming Effect, and the founder and director of the Sound Healers Association. About the book: Harmonics are the colors of sound—found within every tone that is created, every voice that speaks. “Healing Sounds” explore a little known but extremely important aspect of sound and the world we live in—the phenomenon of harmonics. Through knowing about and experiencing them, we can shift the very way we perceive reality. Sharing many easy-to-follow sound healing exercises, such as “Vowels as Mantras” and “Overtoning,” Goldman explains in detail how to perform vocal harmonics--a form of overtone chanting--and experience their transformative and healing powers. He shows how harmonics can be used as sonic yoga for meditation and deep relaxation as well as to enhance energy and resonate the chakras, the energy centers of the body. Exploring the vibrational principles that underlie the framework of the universe, including frequency and resonance, Goldman explains how harmonics represent the colors of sound and affect us on all levels, bridging body, mind, and spirit. He provides diverse examples from sound healing systems incorporating both mystical and scientific traditions--from Tibetan monks’ use of tantric harmonics to Dr. Alfred Tomatis’ use of Gregorian chanting, from Pythagoras and sacred geometry to Kabbalistic God Names and neuroresonance. He explores mantra and chakra chanting, sacred vowels, vocal toning, conscious listening, cymatics, sonic shamanism, magical incantations, and many other vibrational and sound healing techniques.
