Review

Even in the womb, we live surrounded by sound. Afterward, since we lack "ear lids", sound pervades our world, awake or asleep, 24 hours a day. Sometimes we're aware of environmental sounds- a gentle lullaby or a twanging blues chord - evoke distinctive feelings, and who hasn't been pulled back in time by hearing a familiar song? So why not use sound to heal? Vickie Dodd does just that, using the sounds she makes rathern than recorded music while practicing massage. Tuning The Blues To Gold: Soundprints, a book and accompanying CD that present an experiential, self-help introduction to sound healing. It's not mystical, she says, as much as it is biological. It comes from working with thousands of people during her many years as a body worker. Using sound to heal is a vital part of the indigenous cultures of North, South and Central America, Tibet and parts of Africa, and is implicit in the time-honored practice of religious chanting. Vickie's book reawakens us to remember, to unlock the emotional trauma and remember a state of wellness. -- Denver Post 6/20/99
