Product Description
This easy to understand primer on music healing reveals how positive and negative vibrations affect not only humans, but trees, animals, and even the universe. The Healing Sound of Music traces the roots of music healing back for thousands of years, when ancient people used music and tones to cure many kind of ailments. Remember the biblical story of David playing his harp to heal King Saul's jealous rage? And did you know that the ancient Chinese symbols for music and medicine are practically identical?

What is this amazing thing called music? Our lives seem to revolve around it. Music IS the soundtrack of our lives... in malls, on the radio, in our cars, at our weddings; it's even played at our funerals. By being aware of the kinds of sound, including music, that infiltrate our consciousness, we can learn to make ourselves healthier and happier.

The Healing Sound of Music shows you how to surround yourself with the kinds of tones and frequencies that will make and keep you healthier. You'll learn how to use music to enhance your immune system and fight stress, high blood pressure, cancer, headaches, chronic pain and even loneliness.

You'll discover how to create a soothing environment in your home, which will enhance your own power to heal, transform and find true inner peace. Through simple techniques based on relaxing, breathing and learning to listen, you will be able to tune in to the power of music like never before. The Healing Sound of Music gives you musical prescriptions for healing the emotional and spiritual bodies.

Children with ADHD and other behavioral problems, adults suffering from depression, headaches, hypertension, arthritis, cancer, even anxiety,... all will benefit from the incredible information and exercises in this book.

The full length CD included with this book was recorded by the authors to demonstrate the kinds of musical frequencies that work to heal the body.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, Easy to Understand, May 17, 2003

By	Rosalie Frank (California) - See all my reviews

This book is terrific. It was recommended by a friend who had used it while going through a divorce. She said it saved her life. For me, it's been a real education in the use of sound and music for healing. It's also made me aware of the sounds that hurt us, and I've become so much more conscious of my audio surroundings. I've learned to eliminate harmful noise, and replaced it with healing sounds and music. The most healing music by far is the CD included in the book. The authors are also musicians, and their CD of harp and guitar music, some of it original, is absolutely beautiful. I imagine that the authors are very spiritual people; it comes through in the book. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I really enjoyed this book and CD. It helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I especially liked the chapter "To Everything There Is A Season." I was suffering the loss of someone very dear to me and the words and beautiful music helped calm my soul and let me know my loved one was at peace. I thank you!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Healing Sound of Music, September 17, 2000

By	Hope Cheatle (Oakville, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful book especially for anyone suffering from a chronic illness. I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the chapter on Music as Medicine was wonderful. I immediately put the Milliennium CD on and spent some time breathing, listening, meditating, and yes napping. I was refreshed and know I will continue to read this chapter each day. The Healing Sound of Music is written for all regardless of race, religion, or type of suffering. It is well written and easy to read and enjoy. Congratulations to the authors.
