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.Highly recommended.
It really works for practical voice use, and I got exposed to samples of some enjoyable ancient chants. I would recommend this to a friend who wants to learn more about a really practical use of his/her voice.
Bought this as a gift, and was very well received! She was very excited to get this as a gift. Better than the e-book version because it came with the CD!
Easy to appreciate and put to use although I have not read other literature on this topic. Very thorough in understanding the usefulness of sound for healing.
For singing advise , it has some value. But otherwise it's new-agey crap. Yes, singing has healing power, without question. But you don't need any other ideas , philosophy, or theories to do it. Singing is 99% actually doing it and only 1% theory about it. I do heartily recommend actually singing, just not having alot of ridiculous ideas about it.
