Sound
Healing with the Five Elements Binkey
Kok , September, 2005 by Daniel Parret Click
Here to Order The system of the five elements
(earth, water, fire, air and space) creates a comprehensive
approach to using sound that integrates body zones, emotions,
thought patterns as well as the subtle anatomy, the energy
fields of the human being. In working with sound healing
we need to find the right sounds for a person. Someone
"earthy" may need some "fiery" sounds
and instruments to get a step further, while an "airy"
person may need more "earth", more "grounding".
Daniel Perret learned how the use of the ancient wisdom
of the five elements can produce a harmonic balance. This
is a practical handbook for therapists and any interested
person.
The
Yoga of Sound New World Library, June, 2004 by Russill Paul Click
Here to Order The eye dominates the world,
calculating and evaluating through the visual. Yet sound
and music are the essential carrier waves of consciousness.
For thousands of years, Hindu spirituality has understood
the profound effect that sound has on human well-being.
Largely unknown in the West, yet developing alongside
the popular form of hatha yoga that has swept the world,
the yoga of sound is a 3,500-year-old spiritual system
for reducing stress and maintaining health. In this
inspiring book and accompanying CD, renowned musician
and teacher Russill Paul explores the four powerful
streams of this system: mantras (sound), mudras (sacred
gestures), pranayama (breath control), and dhyana (meditation).
Like his award-winning music, Paul's presentation of
this ancient tradition is accessible for modern Western
tastes and lifestyles. In lucid exercises presented
both in the book and the CD, Paul shows how everyone
can learn the art of mantra simply by training the voice,
and how these practices can help reduce stress, enhance
emotional well-being, and optimize the flow of energy
within the body.
Sound
of Poetry / The Poetry of Sound University of Chicago Press, November,
2009 by Marjorie Perloff and
Craig Dworkin Click
Here to Order Sound—one of the central
elements of poetry—finds itself all but ignored
in the current discourse on lyric forms. The essays collected
here by Marjorie Perloff and Craig Dworkin break that
critical silence to readdress some of the fundamental
connections between poetry and sound—connections
that go far beyond traditional metrical studies.
Ranging from medieval Latin lyrics to a cyborg opera,
sixteenth-century France to twentieth-century Brazil,
romantic ballads to the contemporary avant-garde, the
contributors to The Sound of Poetry/The Poetry of Sound
explore such subjects as the tranlatability of lyric sound,
the historical and cultural roles of rhyme, the role of
sound repetition in novelistic prose, the connections
between "sound poetry" and music, between the
visual and the auditory, the role of the body in performance,
and the impact or recording technologies on the lyric
voice. Along the way, the essays take on the "ensemble
discords" of Maurice Sceve's Delie, Ezra Pound's
use of "Chinese whispers," the alchemical theology
of Hugo Ball's Dada performances, Jean Cocteau's modernist
radiohonics, and the interculrural account of the poetry
reading as a kind of dubbing."

Sound
Medicine: The Complete Guide to Healing
with the Human Voice New
Page Books, December, 2007 by
Wayne Perry Click
Here to Order We live
in a world of sound, frequency, and vibration. Even our
bodies are vibrational. In fact, the human voice is the
most natural, organic, and unique vibrational instrument
available. As such, the power of the human voice can be
harnessed to heal the body. While several books have been
written on vibrational healing, vocal practices and toning,
Sound Medicine: The Complete Guide to Healing with the
Human Voice is the first book to focus on specific ways
in which the voice can be used by anyone--healers and
non-healers alike--as a safe, enjoyable and effective
tool to heal not just the body, but the emotions, mind,
and spirit.
Everything
You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d Hay
House, December, 2006 by
Candace Pert Click
Here to Order From beginning
to end, this book takes us on an entertaining romp through
the many bodymind avenues, separating the woo-woo from
real science and pointing the way toward using new paradigm
therapies, detoxing our food and environment, forgiving
and healing our relationships, understanding depression,
staying young, and creating the reality we want to experience.
Consciousness, mind, emotions, and God are all factored
into the mix, resulting in a lot of beneficial advice
and self-development insights that will empower us toward
health, well-being, and feeling . . . Go(o)d.
The
Sound of Healing: Create Your own Music Program for Better
Health Alliance Publishing,
January, 1996 by
Judith Pinkerton Click
Here to Order Judith
Pinkerton opens up the arts and science of music therapy
to the public. This largely self-help text takes a comprehensive
look at the whole medium of recorded music and teaches
the average listener to sequence music together into multi-song
recordings for specific daily activities. Such activities
include waking, sleeping, exercising, and driving. Pinkerton
also addresses the use of music in resolving situational
emotional experiences and briefly touches on pain relief.
Pinkerton uses professional music therapy literature in
outlining entrainment techniques for the resolution of
emotional events. This technique involves the use of music
first to match to the unsettled emotion, then to soothe
that emotion with different music, and, finally, to energize
oneself with a third type of music.
The
Mystic Spiral: Journey of the Soul
(Art & Imagination) Thames
& Hudson, June, 1980 by
Jill Purce Click
Here to Order The spiral
is a natural form of growth, and has become, in every
culture and every age, humanity's symbol of the progress
of the soul towards eternal life. As the inward winding
labyrinth, it constitutes the hero's journey to the still
centre where the secret of life is found. As the spherical
vortex, spiralling through its own centre, it combines
the inward and outward directions of movement. In this
original and engrossing book, Jill Purce traces the significance
of one of our central symbols from the double spirals
of the Chinese Yin Yang symbol to the whorls of Celtic
crosses, Maori tattoos and the Islamic arabesque. Many
of the superb images here were intended as objects of
contemplation; for the spiral is a cosmic symbol.
