The Healing Power of the Human Voice


Book Description

A complete introduction to using the sounds of the voice to promote healing • Explains the emotional meanings and healing attributes of human vocal expression, from vowels and consonants to natural sounds such as laughter or sighs • Includes easy-to-follow vocal and breathing exercises • Contains chants and mantras from cultures around the world As infants and children we use our vocalizations to express our needs and emotions. As we grow older these vocalizations become confined to language. The suppression of emotional sounds because they may be considered childish or undignified is quite commonplace in Western cultures. Yet when done with vigor, the sounds made by laughing, groaning, humming, keening, and sighing hold within them great power for healing. In The Healing Power of the Human Voice James D’Angelo introduces the concepts behind sound healing and provides simple, practical exercises to put these concepts into practice. He explains in detail the meanings and healing attributes of the whole range of human vocal expression, from vowels and consonants to the natural sounds of laughter or sighs. He reveals the power of singing and the ways in which group singing can contribute to physical and mental health. He also presents authentic classical chants and mantras from cultures around the world and shows how we can combine various vocal sounds to form our own mantras to help clear chakra blockages. All of the sounds discussed, as well as the techniques for producing overtones, are placed in a ritualized context and are accompanied by simple movements to enhance tuning the body toward inner harmony, health, and peace. In addition, the author demonstrates all the major vocal techniques in the accompanying audio tracks--including mantras, chants from major religious traditions, seed sounds and syllables, and overtones--giving you all the tools necessary to create these sounds yourself.




Healing Voice


Book Description

In this book the author describes her adolescence during Socialism, her path as an opera singer and teacher, and ultimately her extrasensory experiences as a voice medium. The book reports the evidence of Italian scientist Daniele Gullà, who, thanks to his special TRV camera, describes the concrete effects of Krisztina Nemeth’s singing on people. The author recounts: "In the middle of a wonderful career in the world of opera, love stopped me in Trieste and literally changed my life. One day, during a yoga class, my student fell into a trance; to help her the idea spontaneously came to me to approach her and sing in a way that I had never tried before. Since that moment my path has changed radically. I left opera and dedicated myself to singing in this 'strange' way, as a voice medium. I contacted and met some medium experts, who confirmed that this is a real thing: I have the gift of the 'Healing Voice', to reawaken souls ". The book includes testimonies and exercises to help people hear their own sound and the psychic sound. The author has chosen to pay homage to those who purchase the book with four short "songs" with her Healing Voice, which you can download from the internet via a code included in the volume.




The Mystic Spiral


Book Description

As the inward-winding labyrinth, it constitutes the hero's journey to the still center where the secret of life is found. As the spherical vortex, spiraling through its own center, it combines the inward and outward directions of movement. In this original and engrossing book, Jill Purce traces the significance of one man's central symbols from the double spirals of Stone Age art and the interlocking 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. Art and Imagination series: These large-format, gloriously-illustrated paperbacks cover Eastern and Western religion and philosophy, including myth and magic, alchemy and astrology. The distinguished authors bring a wealth of knowledge, visionary thinking and accessible writing to each intriguing subject.
