As infants and children we use our vocalisations to express
our needs and emotions. As we grow older these vocalisations 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, 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 ritualised 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 on the accompanying
CD - including mantras, chants from major religious traditions,
seed sounds and syllables, and overtones - giving you all the
tools necessary to create these sounds yourself. |

“There will come a time when a diseased
condition will not be described as it is today by the physicians and psychologists,
but it will be spoken of in musical terms, as one would speak of a piano
that was out of tune.”
