3.0 out of 5 stars Info I needed I couldn't find in this book, September 16, 2005

This review is from: Acutonics®: There's No Place Like Ohm, Sound Healing, Oriental Medicine and the Cosmic Mysteries (Paperback)

Specifically when I bought this book, I was looking for a more practical guide to using the forks that I recently purchased from Acutonics. I am in love with the forks, and they have increased the effectiveness of my work by leaps and bounds! (however the forks themselves do not even come with information regarding the specific frequency or any suggestions for practical applications - information not available on the website). This book is,in my humble opinion, a marketing tool used by the Kairos institute in order to make a few extra dollars when taken in conjunction with their classes (they sell this book for $64.95 on their website!). I could have more easily learned online the actual history of vibration and sound healing, instead of trying to read it in the book. It is more like a history oriented text book - written by the creators of the Acutonics System of Healing, and less of a hands on practical application guide - which is what I was expecting with this book. Since I have very limited experience with meridians and accupuncture the style of this book was not at all helpful to me. There are no reference guides as to the locations of the points or meridians. The book does have a chapter on clinical testimonials by some therapists (all licensed accupuncturists & teachers at the Kairos Institute) that is pretty confusing for the non initiated. What would have made this an outstanding book would have been to include a reference section on the fork's freqencies and accupuncture points and meridians (at the very least the ones referenced in the book) so the self learning reader doesn't have to find another book just to use in conjunction with this one - or take the courses!

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read....., March 16, 2004

This review is from: Acutonics®: There's No Place Like Ohm, Sound Healing, Oriental Medicine and the Cosmic Mysteries (Paperback)

Very informative book and a unique look at healing. Even if you
don't use the sound healing and tuning fork protocol healing outlined in this book, you will come away knowing more about the Shamanistic origins of Chinese Medicine and the Tao,and the link between Music and Science.
There is also an opportunity to learn a great deal about acupuncture points and music and sound.
I use tuning forks, but have lent this book to friends who do not who thought the book was a good read.
