AWAKENING THROUGH SOUND: Access Your Deepest Wisdom Through the Power of Sound & Song  AWAKENING THROUGH SOUND: Access Your Deepest Wisdom Through the Power of Sound & Song (Code #K065)

Chloe Goodchild

The spiritual masters from traditions East and West have known for centuries a truth that most of us typically overlook: we each possess a built-in mechanism for spiritual awakening. What is it? The sound of your own voice. On Awakening Through Sound, internationally acclaimed singer and sound healer Chloë Goodchild presents a five-CD and DVD program that will teach you how to harness the transformational power of your individual voice and sound.

Have you ever had the unexplainable urge to sing at a restaurant or in the middle of an office meeting? It seems outrageous, but there is a voice buried within you that wants to do just that, explains Chloë Goodchild. This is your “naked voice” - the deep song of your heart that contains all your longing, joy, grief, and passion - the “raw truth” of who you are. With Awakening Through Sound, you will learn how to fearlessly engage with your own naked voice - to listen to yourself and others with “unconditional ears,” to integrate heart, mind, and body, and to release your full creativity. Chloë Goodchild draws from 30 years of teaching thousands around the world to gently guide you through a full range of vocal and physical exercises. Join this pioneering sound healer for a daring curriculum that will help you break through your vocal limitations, access latent insight and intuition, and bring the gift of your true Self to everyone around you.

“Chloë Goodchild awakens the pure power of light in the realm of healing sound, song, and chant. Her gentle vocal revelations invite the wisdom of beauty to unfold and awaken our hearts.” - Don Campbell.

BRAINWAVE SUITE  BRAINWAVE SUITE (Code #BD84CD)

Dr Jeffrey Thompson

Combining natural brainwave frequencies with ambient music and nature sounds, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has discovered a way to let you orchestrate your state of mind to: Stimulate concentration and productivity. Promote insight and intuition. Release physical tension and trigger the ‘relaxation response’. Quiet your mind so you can drift into deep, restful sleep. Heighten your sensitivity and foster communication and intimacy. Enhance artistic inspiration and creativity. Here’s How It Works... Every state of mind has a unique pattern of brainwaves—composed of alpha, beta, delta and theta waves—which can be measured and mapped. Brainwave Suite blends subtle pulses of sound into the musical soundtrack, to stimulate your brain to produce waves with a pattern that matches the state you want to experience. Using three-dimensional recording techniques, Brainwave Suite combines synthesizers, shakuhachi flutes, Tibetan bells and acoustic guitar with actual sounds of nature to produce soothing, relaxing music which enhances the effect. A 24-page booklet explains the scientific and psychological basis for how Brainwave Suite works.

THE BODY AS A HARP:  Sound and Acupuncture  THE BODY AS A HARP: Sound and Acupuncture (Code #B2A024)

Fabien Maman

When Fabien Maman was thirty years old he was a successful jazz musician touring the world with his band. In Tokyo he decided to treat his stressed-out musicians with a massage before the concert. Requesting a massage therapist from the hotel, he got an acupuncturist instead. It changed his life. Fabian said: "I had never seen acupuncture before. As I watched him place needles in the stretched-out body of one of my musicians, I realized that he was the real musician in the room. He was playing the body like a harp, fine tuning it with his needles." Fabien decided to 'spend a little time' studying acupuncture himself. 25 years later, he is an acupuncturist, martial artist and formidable vibrational healer using not only sound, but color and movement as well. In Sound and Acupuncture he begins with an introduction to the theoretical bases of the five phases and how they are intertwined with emotion and voice quality, and their subtle counterparts, the five shen. Maman introduces the techniques which can be used to incoporate acupuncture with sound healing. These include using tuning forks on meridians, on shu points, on the spine, and on ear points. Maman discusses Kototama, the ancient science of sound, and its relation to acupuncture through a chart of the elements and organs with their corresponding sounds and notes. Included are a large number of full color charts that depict the connection between sound and acupuncture.

CLEANSING WITH CABAWAVE KIT  CLEANSING WITH CABAWAVE KIT (Code #A2A47)

A 'Cabawave' is a series of audible sound vibrations that go through dimensional objects such as your body, a location, another person, an animal, a thing, etc. As the Cabawaves travel through an object, they remove negativity from it. There are many types of Cabawaves that are used for different purposes. There are 'healing' Cabawaves, which specifically travel through a human body for the purpose of physical healing. How does this work? First, the Cabawave is for a specific part or function of the human body, for example your brain. As you listen to that Cabawave, it passes through the particular body part and removes negativity. The Cabawave awakens the body's ability to heal itself. Cabawaves are obtained through a specific process of energy readings. They are not just random sounds. They are not just notes being played on an instrument. Cabawaves are very powerful and can function as an important means of energy cleansing and development in your life. Inside the 'Cleansing with Cabawave' package are five energized & prepared Tocas. Tocas are the energy reading tools that you will use to get your personal Cabawave cleansing sounds. Full instructions are included. You will need an 8 inch or larger Gong. The Gong is not included.

THE COSMIC OCTAVE: Origin of Harmony - Planets, Tones, Colors: The Power of Inherent Vibrations  THE COSMIC OCTAVE: Origin of Harmony - Planets, Tones, Colors: The Power of Inherent Vibrations (Code #1823A)

Hans Cousto

Demonstrates the direct relationship of all vibratory patterns, including planetary orbits, ancient and modern measuring systems, the human body, music and medicine. "it was the result of a way of seeing things which moved me to combine the old teachings of harmonics with new findings in physics and science. The result is an all encompassing system of measurement with which it is possible to transpose the movements of the planets into audible rhythms and sounds, and into color. This basic system of measurement clearly demonstrates the harmonic relationship that exists between different kinds of natural phenomena in the fields of astrology, meteorology and microbiology. In this book, the reader will not only find an explanation of this system of measurement, which, like the harmony of music, is inherent in the general structure of all beings, he is also provided with instructions on how to prove the existence of these universal relationships." - the author.

THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN VOWELS: In Theory & Practice  THE MYSTERY OF THE SEVEN VOWELS: In Theory & Practice (Code #1641)

Joscelyn Godwin

The seven vowels, which we use everyday in speech, are truly mysterious things. Analysis shows that vowels depend on the phenomenon of harmonics, which is at the very basis of music, while our sensitivity to them proves that the human ear is naturally attuned to harmony. When we hear vowels, we are hearing the laws of harmony, which are, ultimately, mathematical laws that are said to govern the universe. In this first book to appear on the subject in English, Godwin shows how the vowels relate to music and harmony, esoteric and occult philosophy, healing, colour and meditation, and astrology. The final chapter contains seven vocal exercises for discovering one’s own tones and their power to centre, uplift and heal.

USING VOICE & SONG IN THERAPY: The Practical Application of Voice Movement Therapy  USING VOICE & SONG IN THERAPY: The Practical Application of Voice Movement Therapy (Code #BF83)

Paul Newham

This work is a practical and imaginative guide to the way in which singing and the expressive use of the voice can facilitate therapy. Paul Newham examines how melody creation combined with story-telling in song, can alleviate certain emotional, psychosomatic and psychological symptoms. He describes how the sounds made by the human voice can be shaped compositionally to form songs which reveal and express the self. This volume provides practical support for non-clinical professionals working as group leaders and facilitators, who are interested in incorporating singing and vocal expression in their working method. He covers such themes as: the use of myth and archetype in narrative, the history of the use of song in human interaction, making personal biography into fiction in melody. The author draws on his own professional experience to describe therapeutic techniques and exercises which he has found to be effective, illustrating these with case studies. In particular, he focuses on the benefits of voicework for the mentally and physically disabled, and for children with special educational needs.

Paul Newham

This is a guide to how dramatic improvisation can be used in a therapeutic context to promote self-expression. Paul Newham demonstrates how voice, text and speech bring out aspects of character, personality, emotion and diversity of self image which facilitate self-understanding. He shows how vocal identity derives initially from the theatre of family interaction, and how self-transformation through dramatisation can clarify and deepen a person's sense of connectedness to others. The book details the ways in which dramatic voicework can be used in therapeutic settings to help people with emotional difficulties, mental distress and behavioural problems. It is illustrated with case examples taken from the author's direct experience of using the therapeutic techniques he describes. It should also inform the practice of non-clinical professionals working with groups to improve social interaction and communication.

Jonathan Goldman

Modern science and ancient wisdom agree - everything is in a state of vibration. Pioneering sound healer Jonathan Goldman brings these two traditions together on Vocal Toning the Chakras, teaching listeners to harness the power of their own voices - and to bring each chakra humming to life, resonating and aligning these energy centres for health, wellness, and higher consciousness. Each chakra impacts a different facet of overall health - when these centres are properly tuned, listeners will experience improved circulation, respiration, digestion, and state of mind. With Vocal Toning the Chakras, listeners will learn how to attune their minds to get the most out of these time-tested acoustic practices. “When the right vibrations are matched with the right intent, there is no limit to the healing power of sound.”

THE YOGA OF SOUND: The Healing Power of Chant & Mantra  THE YOGA OF SOUND: The Healing Power of Chant & Mantra (Code #B2A75)

Russill Paul

The eye dominates the world, calculating and evaluating through the visual. Yet sound and music are the essential carrier waves of consciousness. For thousands of years, Hindu spirituality has understood the profound effect that sound has on human well-being. Largely unknown in the West, yet developing alongside the popular form of hatha yoga that has swept the world, the yoga of sound is a 3,500-year-old spiritual system for reducing stress and maintaining health. In this inspiring book and accompanying CD, renowned musician and teacher Russill Paul explores the four powerful streams of this system: mantras (sound), mudras (sacred gestures), pranayama (breath control), and dhyana (meditation). Like his award-winning music, Paul's presentation of this ancient tradition is accessible for modern Western tastes and lifestyles. In lucid exercises presented both in the book and the CD, Paul shows how everyone can learn the art of mantra simply by training the voice, and how these practices can help reduce stress, enhance emotional well-being, and optimize the flow of energy within the body.
