Microtonal Healing: Spirit of the Healing Voice

By Linda L. Nielsen and Linda L.

Vibrational medicine has been the focus of health researchers for years as they explored the relationship between sound and the healing process. It was during her advanced studies of social and cultural anthropology that Linda Nielsen, Ph.D., recognized the widespread use of singing and chanting in healing rituals among diverse cultures around the world. In her efforts to understand the healing process initiated by the voice, it became apparent that harmonic theory did not explain how the voice can be used as an instrument of healing. The focus of her research took a new, multidisciplinary approach to uncover an explanation of the multicultural vocal healing phenomenon. Microtonal Healing: Spirit of the Healing Voice is designed to give the reader a deeper awareness of the vocal healing experience beyond the physical, tonal qualities of sound. With a basic introduction to sound healing, this book offers newcomers, as well as those already familiar with the concepts of holistic health and energy medicine, a concise rationale for understanding the time tested use of the voice as a healing tool.

microtonal healing

Microtonal Healing is a small book packed with practical and insightful information on healing voice work. This is more than a book about the voice. It uses the raga form music of India as metaphor, a means of appreciating the flux in daily life, finding humor in the spaces, in the so-called "off moments" that are our real teachers. At the same time, it is a how-to guide to use in yhour daily vocal hearling practice. A real treasure.
