Book Overview
A guide to the surprising benefits of music on your mind, spirit, and body--complete with sound-based breathing and meditation exercises Since 1991, Dr. Mitchell Gaynor has been achieving remarkable results by integrating music, vocalization, breathing, and meditation techniques in his work with patients. In The Healing Power of Sound, he presents his sound-based techniques for self-healing--techniques that anyone can use, whether faced with a life-threatening disease or simply seeking relief from the stresses of daily life. Numerous studies have demonstrated the health benefits of music: it can lower blood pressure and heart and respiratory rates; reduce cardiac complications; increase the immune response; and boost our natural opiates. Gaynor shows how, when integrated as part of a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness, music can play a significant part in maintaining a healthy lifestyle or in healing serious disease. The Healing Power of Sound includes twelve exercises involving breathing, meditation, and "toning"--using pure vocal sound to resolve tension, release emotion, and spur the healing process--that can be used by anyone to improve health and quality of life.

This is an excellent book on sound healing. Dr. Gaynor is an oncologist who incorporates various music and sound healing and chanting practices into his cancer treatments with his patients. The book is clear, readable, and informative with many techniques easily practiced by the reader. The techniques are good for healing or for preventive health practices and can be added to other health programs such as massage or yoga or Reiki. They can be used for serious or life-threatening diseases in addition to any regular medical procedures, drugs, chemotherapy, radiation, etc. They can decrease stress associated with treatment and also show how vibration can assist cellular healing in any situation.
