Guest post from Jonathan Goldman, author and sound healing musician: The 7 Secrets of Sound Healing
Harmonics are there and yet not there, tangible and yet not tangible. They are present and yet not noticed, until the shift begins to occur. First our hearing changes – we can perceive things that are hidden. Next, our voices change – we can create sounds that were not previously there. Then, our consciousness changes and other realities come into our awareness.
Sound healing focuses on the ability of harmonics to create vibrational changes. These changes may occur in the physical body or in the mental, emotional and etheric bodies. When these changes occur, they initiate transformation and healing.
Harmonics display universal principles and are a constant in the various traditions and societies that use sound for healing and self -transformation. Through experiencing harmonics, we can learn a great deal about ourselves and the worlds around us. I trust they will awaken something in you. They can be sacred, magical and truly transformational. I trust that in time you will ‘read between the lines’ and see the possibilities are described in this book. I trust you will discover the other potentials yourself.
Harmonics have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. It is now apparent that many others also share this interest. Since the completion of this book, there continues to be a tremendous reawakening of interest in sound as a healing and transformative modality. In particular, a large portion of this interest has focused upon harmonics. Awareness and use of harmonics are truly expanding. This would not have occurred without the openness of the masters of vocal harmonics: the Tibetans, Mongolians and Tuvans.
Members of the different Tibetan monasteries have toured throughout the United States and Europe, sharing their sacred chants and much of their knowledge of Tibetian overtone chanting.
