Toning: The Creative and Healing Power of the Voice [With CD]

By Laurel Elizabeth Keyes and Don Campbell

Book Overview

New Edition Includes a Bonus CD containing original recordings of Laurel Keyes, plus Don Campbell's comments and demonstration.

Fact: Sound vibrations move and alter matter.

The purpose of sound has forever been used primarily for communication or entertainment, but the true benefits of sound are also known to be an ancient method of healing. The benefits are felt when people speak, sing, hum, chant, as Laurel Elizabeth Keyes explained in her groundbreaking book Toning over 30 years ago.

The specific act of toning creates vocal sounds and vibrational patterns that influence health and well-being. Toning, the Healing and Creative Power of the Voice contains the results and observations that Laurel Keyes experienced while experimenting in her own body as well as in others.

One person who applied the life-changing healing technique is Don Campbell, best-selling author of The Mozart Effect, who credits much of his success to the tools he acquired from Toning.

toning and vibrations

This book is very helpful to assist those interested in healing. Her insights are on target and most beneficial. This is a MUST read.

a classic

Before the tidal wave of alt. healing books, there was quality work like this.

Simple and practical book to get you started

The author begins the book with her own spontaneous discovery of the power of toning and then provides suggestions, exercises and case histories from her own and other people's experiences with toning. You may recall many instances in your own life when letting a sound, maybe even a simple "ouch" helped to alleviate the discomfort, as well as other instances when you'd let out different sounds to express the feeling of great satisfaction and pleasure. As you experiment focusing with different vowels, you may become aware of different sensations in your body and of changes occurring in your emotions. Letting some sounds out freely helps to release blocked and pent-up energy, while other sounds help to bring about balance and harmony.

The Classic that started it all

If you are interested in discovering the power of your voice for healing, this classic book offers an excellent start. Written simply but effectively, voice toning pioneer Laurel Keyes walks you through the steps of becoming comfortable using the inherent vehicle of great creative power - our voice. Laurel was dedicated to helping people connect with this mighty healing tool and her heart and sincerity shine through all her writing as she gives exercises and examples that you can begin to work with. This book will certainly get you started in the right direction, and if you are interested in further educating yourself with an updated and excellent compilation of the power of sound for healing and creation, you may also be interested in the new book and CD Travelling The Sacred Sound Current: Keys For Conscious Evolution by Deborah Van Dyke, my new personal favorite........AAAAAHHHH!

Real healing

Laurel Elizabeth Keyes takes you through the long history of toning as used by healers, shamen and priests from many ancient cultures. She then explains very clearly how to tone for yourself and for others. After just the first try I felt fanatastic, and have continued to do so! This is a very practical, easy to understand book with lots of sound advice - no pun intended! I thoroughly recommend this for anyone searching for their own wellness, relief from pain, healing for themselves and others or personal development.
