Product 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 for beginners. 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 praises the power of singing and reveals 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 mantra 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.

 | A Marvelous Guide to The Incredible Power of the Human Voice Mar 12, 2006 |
Four events have convinced me of the power of the human voice.
The first was the demonstration by Zoroastrian priests who could split a pane of glass in two simply by chanting. This is quite different from the tales of champagne glasses shattering as they resonate with the sound of a soprano's voice. This was precise and done to order.
The second occurred one Sunday morning, when I was sitting with a number of friends as we were waiting to enjoy our Sunday lunch together. We were having a pleasant discussion, when I heard one of the most beautiful and ethereal sounds imaginable. The sound was emanating from Jill Purce. She is the wife of the biologist Rupert Sheldrake, who was also one of the guests, and what she was doing was demonstrating Tibetan overtone chanting. The power of the sound was quite tangible.
The third was trying a series of mantras and chanting exercises and finding just how quickly each could change my state of consciousness and even produce profound physical effects.
The fourth was being made aware of the effects produced by some of the subharmonics of my own voice when speaking to large audiences. I'd never been even vaguely aware of them until a sound engineer did a demonstration for me.
I was therefore extremely excited to see this new book by James D'Angelo, and it exceeded all my expectations.
Although not a long book, it is crammed with practical exercises and it, together with the accompanying CD, should be enough to convince the most hardened skeptic. And for the open-minded experimenter, there is a wealth of wonderful material. You will not need to spend all that long experimenting with these exercises to discover their extraordinary health-giving benefits.
