Editorial Reviews

Review
"Dr. Mitchell Gaynor is one of the physicians who is crafting the medicine of the future."—Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words and Healing Beyond the Body: Medicine and the Infinite Reach of the Mind "This book is about healing your life through rhythm and harmony. Read it and learn how to orchestrate your life."—Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles

Product Description
Since 1991, Dr. Mitchell Gaynor has been achieving remarkable results by integrating music, vocalization, breathing, and meditation techniques in his work with patients. In The Healing Power of Sound, he presents his sound-based techniques for self-healing—techniques that anyone can use, whether faced with a life-threatening disease or simply seeking relief from the stresses of daily life. Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of music: it can lower blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates; reduce cardiac complications; increase the immune response; and boost our natural opiates. Gaynor shows how, when integrated as part of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, music can play a significant part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or in healing serious disease. The Healing Power of Sound includes twelve exercises involving breathing, meditation, and "toning"—using pure vocal sound to resolve tension, release emotion, and spur the healing process—that can be used by anyone to improve health and quality of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life, December 4, 2005
I bought this book after reading about it in the New York Times on Thanksgiving. I can understand through the amazing stories and techniques that the power of sound can be used every second of every day. Dr. Gaynor's book changed my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adds medical credibility to ancient practice, April 13, 2009
By Sagemare (Blacksburg, VA) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book on sound healing. Dr. Gaynor is an oncologist who incorporates various music and sound healing and chanting practices into his cancer treatments with his patients. The book is clear, readable, and informative with many techniques easily practiced by the reader. The techniques are good for healing or for preventive health practices and can be added to other health programs such as massage or yoga or Reiki. They can be used for serious or life-threatening diseases in addition to any regular medical procedures, drugs, chemotherapy, radiation, etc. They can decrease stress associated with treatment and also show how vibration can assist cellular healing in any situation.
