Read free. Healing with sound: self-help techniques with music and voice, Olivia Dewhurst-Maddock, 1997.
Excerpt
Sound is created as the vibratory motion of particles and objects. The vibrations that produce sound represent an energy that is found throughout nature, not only within ourselves and our world, but far beyond, into the realms of moons, stars, and the Universe. Due to the limitations of human physiology, our own ears can detect only a tiny fraction of this vast vibratory spectrum. On the cosmic scale, sound is a universal, unseen power, able to bring about profound changes on many levels-physical, emotional, and spiritual. This book explains how you can harness and direct the power of sound-as the vibratory energies of your own voice, and as sounds from the world around, making them resonate through your body and mind, to heal and cure.
Music is a special type of sound. It not only pleases our ears. The patterns of its vibratory motions encapsulate a system of rhythms, relationships, proportions, and harmonies that exist throughout the natural and the human-made world from the movements of the planets around the Sun, to the growth of cells and plants, to the sacred numbers and ratios of ancient beliefs and religions, to art, architecture, and mathematics. Music is a universal human language: of initiation in rites of passage, as a guide through the labyrinths of expanding consciousness, and as a route to deep healing and spiritual fulfilment.
People have used sounds, particularly musical sounds, naturally and therapeutically through the centuries. The origins of healing by sound and music can be traced into prehistory and beyond, into the realms of myth, religion, and the memory of the soul.
