What is Sound Healing?

This is another excellent little book in the What Is series, providing a succinct introduction to the topic. Sound has many therapeutic qualities as well as helping us become more self-aware and present in the moment. The book begins by explaining the nature of sound and healing before moving on to discussing how sound healing works as well as providing exercises and case histories. The book is arranged around a 5R model consisting of resonance, resistance, responsibility, reflection and release (p. 65). Resonance and resistance represent positive and negative thoughts. The author also discusses sound and healing in other cultures, ancient and modern. In all cases, sound helps induce state of consciousness enabling us to gain the insight to transform our health and well-being as part of a vibrational universe.
