The Complete Guide to Sound Healing
2nd Edition
OVERVIEW
This is the first book in the field of Sound Healing to give such a wide perspective on everything in the field. It covers the full range of how sound affects us physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually.
It explores the known science and ancient wisdom. The book begins with a detailed explanation of how sound works based on specific laws of physics. When you understand how it works, you and your clients believe in it more – and belief is a huge part of the effectiveness of a treatment. This is also necessary to bring sound more into the mainstream. Sound Healing is currently in Alternative Therapy Centers of hospitals around the world and is now on the threshold of making it into the medical side. Meanwhile there are many esoteric techniques that are incredibly powerful, many of which we have yet to understand the mechanisms of how they work (Spirit has not given us the full manual yet). Therefore, we include these ancient techniques as well.
In the book, David introduces a hierarchy of vibration that is the basis of vibration at all levels of reality: Frequencies, Timbres (combination of frequencies), Intervals and Musical Flows. This has now become the basis of how to understand the full perspective of how vibration works (including sound, color, light, geometry and the quantum world). The book also uses this framework to understand how healing works in the body.
The book covers how to play the most common sound healing instruments and how to use them for specific physical, mental and emotional issues. David goes into detail on how to create and perform both sound healing treatments and sound baths (concerts). He also explains a detailed process for doing healing with the voice and with instruments.
The book covers the latest science on how sound works on the physical body, as well as how to understand and work with emotions, including a number of techniques for releasing stuck emotions and transforming negative beliefs. The book also explains brainwave entrainment in detail and how you can use rhythms tuned to a person in order to entrain them into Delta (sleep) Theta (creativity and Oneness) Alpha (for presence and learning) Beta (thinking and overcoming ADD/ADHD) and Gamma (for blissing out). It also explains the latest research on using ultrasound to access Unity Consciousness in a clinical setting.
The section on Sound for Specific Issues covers treatments for Stress Reduction, Sleep, Pain Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Anger, Trauma/PTSD, Addiction, Autism, Dementia, Parkinson’s, Schizophrenia, Traumatic Brain Injuries and Cancer.
The section on Spiritual Expansion covers sound for Presence, Mindfulness, Chakras, Auras and Love. David shares techniques for using sound to obtain perfect presence and stillness. He covers the full range of techniques on how to use sound to resonate more gratitude compassion love and joy in your life. The book also provides a full range of ways to use sound to open the heart. David also explores the frequencies and sounds of the chakras and auras and explains some powerful techniques for resonating more harmony.
The book also covers the Sound of your Soul and Oneness, which is where you are all frequencies in the Universe. It also has techniques throughout on how to stabilize your vibration and hold it there more consistently so that you can be less affected by any negative chaotic
vibrations in or around you.
The book also has a small section on the work being done with Sound, Music and Geometry for children.
The Complete Guide to Sound Healing not only has a plethora of information but it also has many meditations and practices throughout.
This book can change your life.
And as we resonate more stable consistent vibrations it helps to create a stronger resonant field of coherence love and light on the planet.
“Although sound healing is a rapidly growing genre of music and complementary healthcare practice, there have been few books that provide an overview for interested individuals and practitioners. David Gibson’s book is a significant contribution to the field, and covers the many subgenres included under the sound healing umbrella. You’ll find a great deal of information from both a scientific and esoteric perspective. In short, the reader will find many creative and useful ideas that can be immediately incorporated into their life and practice.”

CHAPTER DESCRIPTIONS
Introduction – Science and Ancient Wisdom
This is an introduction to the field of Sound Healing, including a bit about its history and current expansion. When you see everything as vibration the world takes on a clearer focus. As you become aware of you own personal sound landscape, you notice how the vibrations around you are affecting you. You then have a choice to harmonize or use your own sounds to protect yourself.
The key is to develop a pure and consistent frequency on the inside so that you are less affected by all the discordant vibrations in and around you. However, we are also part of and connected to the group we call humanity, as well as the rest of the Universe. Therefore, we also need to know how to be flexible and flow with the energies around us. We need to be able to dance with those vibrations around us – or surf the waves, as some say.
Sound activates, or calms us physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually. In particular, music, chant and mantra can be quite activating. Even sounds by themselves can be extremely activating. On the other hand, one of the most important aspects of sound and music is its ability to bring us to a state of complete peace and stillness.
Finally, the Introduction gives a brief overview of how the book has been structured.
Understanding how resonance and entrainment work to change the vibration of something at every level, you gain the power to make positive changes in yourself, in others, and on the planet – or to simply resonate with higher vibrations of nature and Source.
SECTION I – HOW IT ALL WORKS
The more we can explain how Sound Healing really works, the more it is going to be accepted by the mainstream. Then, we can get it into hospitals and homes and take our own healing power back. In addition, when you and your client understand how it actually works, it helps to make the belief that it will work stronger – and, the more we believe something will work, the more it will!
This is not to say that we have to understand how everything works. There are many ancient traditions that are extremely powerful and we still don’t have a clue how they actually work. We don’t want to throw any babies out (with bathwater, that is).
Chapter 1 – The Basis of How It All Works – Chaos vs. Consistency
At the most basic level, health and peace is about a stable, consistent vibrations as opposed to the chaotic vibrations of fear, anxiety, anger, pain and stress. When the body is healthy, every part is vibrating consistently at its own natural vibration.
Chapter 2 – The Four Levels of How Sound Affects Us – Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually
The science on how sound affects us physically is well defined and proven by traditional physics. The science on how sound affects us mentally through brainwave entrainment is also really well proven and accepted because we can hook up an EEG unit and see the different brainwave states. How sound affects us emotionally is a little less clear, but there is so much anecdotal evidence of people being dramatically transformed. Quantum physics is starting to explain the whole world of Spirit and Source, but we still have a long way to go. However, sound is such a powerful tool for Spiritual transformation.
Chapter 3 – Consistency as Higher Consciousness
Consistency as Higher Consciousness Higher consciousness is not necessarily about a “higher frequency.” Physically, it is about resonating the natural consistent frequencies of a healthy cell or part of the body. Emotionally, is also about stability and consistent flow. Mentally, it is about focus and consistency. Spiritually is also about consistency. A consistent frequency is the essence of peace and stillness, which opens up portals to other dimensions and higher states of consciousness.
Chapter 4 – One Home Frequency vs. A Full Range of Frequencies
There are two basic schools of thought in the field of Sound Healing. The first is that each person has a unique resonant frequency that is the core of who we are. When we resonate this home note, we become more centered and grounded. We have had huge success healing many symptoms at our Sound Healing Therapy Center with this technique. A dozen researchers in the field also subscribe to this concept.
The second school of thought is that we need a balance of all frequencies. The research of Dr. Alfred Tomatis and many voice analysis researchers have shown that when a person is missing a certain pitch or note in their voice, they are actually missing essential nutrients that can affect organs in the body or create learning disabilities.
SECTION II – THE LAWS OF RESONANCE BASED ON PHYSICS
Chapter 5 – The Laws of Resonance and Entrainment – Keys to Creating Change
Resonance happens when something that is vibrating causes something else to vibrate. It is the key to how sound healing works to change the frequency and vibration of a person for both healing and raising one’s consciousness (from cells to soul). This chapter explains the laws of resonance from physics that are the basis of how all Sound Healing works – physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually.
SECTION III – PHYSICS OF SOUND
Chapter 6 – Frequency Based on Wavelength
This chapter covers the physics of vibration including what a sound wave is and how to measure frequency.
Chapter 7 – Three Main Types of Resonance
- Acoustic Resonance – Resonance in Spaces
This section covers how sound resonates in chambers (instruments, rooms, temples, organs, etc.)
- Mechanical Resonance – Resonance in Materials
How sound vibrates in materials (instruments, tissues, bones, muscles, etc.).
• Quantum Resonance – Resonance in Consciousness
How vibration works in the Quantum world.
Chapter 8 – How to Find Resonant Frequencies in the Body
You will learn how to do a frequency sweep with the voice in order to find a particular resonant frequency of an issue, organ or disease. You will also learn a process for finding a frequency intuitively.
SECTION IV – THE HIERARCHY OF VIBRATION
Introduction – The Five Levels of Vibration
The five levels are frequency (or pitch), timbre (combination of frequencies), musical intervals (relationship of the parts), music (including rhythm and melody) and energy (or intention).
Chapter 9 – Pure Frequencies and Pitches
- Archetypal Frequencies
Pure frequencies manifest tone generators, tuning forks and some crystal bowls. They are very powerful for focusing on specific issues or organs. There are also many archetypal frequencies that are effective for specific issues. We list the main ones, which you can then use for your own benefit.
- Pitches
Each note has its own energy and feeling.
Chapter 10 – Harmonic Structure of Sound – Timbre or Tone
- Harmonics
Most people believe that a single sound is comprised of only one frequency or pitch. The truth is that sounds normally contain multiple frequencies that have very specific mathematical relationships to the fundamental pitch. These are called harmonics or overtones and account for the different tonalities in sounds. Particular harmonic structures are activating; others are calming. This is critical to be aware of when choosing a sound for a particular issue. This mathematical structure found in each sound is also found throughout nature – in the distance between the planets, the weight of each vertebrae of the spine, the atomic structure of a sound, and at the quantum level.
- Volume or Amplitude
Different volume levels have dramatically different effects on us. Also, the way that volumes change over time has been associated with specific emotions. I explain the positive and negative aspects of both loud and soft volumes so you can use them more effectively.
- Envelope – Slow Fade is Where the Peace is
A slow fade on the home note of the key of a song leaves you in a profound state of stillness.
- The Beauty and Power of Noise
In physics, noise is defined as an incomplete waveform, so it actually does not contain frequencies. In this chapter I point out all of the sounds that are primarily noise – white and pink noise, the ocean, waterfalls, rushing rivers, shakers, whispers, and the breath – and how these sounds can be used to breakup stuck frequencies found in certain emotions, post-traumatic stress, and learning disabilities.
Chapter 11 – Musical Intervals and Chords
Musical intervals and chords are the relationship between two or more sounds. They can also be used to describe the relationship between any two things in the world – for example, two people, a person and a flower, two different colors, or two different planets. This section looks closely at the different states of consciousness that each musical interval tends to create in a person.
Chapter 12 – Music
Music can access just about every emotion there is. I share a full list of parameters within music that create dynamics, each of which can create a full range of emotions and feelings. Certain types of music tie into the body’s biorhythms creating a much deeper experience.
- Melody
Melody can be seen as an emotional flow.
- Rhythm
Scientific studies show that rhythms affect heart rate, brainwaves, and even breathing patterns. This section looks at how these rhythms can be used to elicit a state of deep peace or pleasurable excitement. Certain rhythms can also induce trance states. We also discuss what makes a healing rhythm – one that breathes with subtle changes as found in nature.
- Quality of Dynamic Flow
Smooth flow without blockages is the definition of health in the body. When the quality of the flow matches the mathematical patterns that are naturally found in nature and Spirit, it can cause powerful transformational experiences.
- Concert Pitch
Pure frequencies also manifest as “concert pitch.” The standard is that the note “A” is tuned to 440 hertz. However, there are other pitches that seem to be quite a bit more auspicious and have better effects on the body.
- Tuning Systems
Pure frequencies also come to play in tuning systems. When the frequencies of each note in a song are tuned to the natural frequencies in nature, they are way more powerful and effective.
Chapter 13 – Energy – Consciousness and Intention
- Energy
Energy is also about smooth flow.
- Intention
Intention is a coherent frequency that is carried along the sound waves to its destination. I also share some of the research projects that have been done on intention, including the work of Dr. Emoto. We then practice holding their complete focus of attention with a specific intention while making sounds with the voice.
- Quality of Consciousness
If you are just in a high state of consciousness there is no need to hold an intention. Many musicians do not hold an intention consistently while performing the music, however their state of consciousness brings through amazing energy.
- Prayer
Prayer is a form of intention with a little help from above.
SECTION V – HIERARCHY OF VIBRATION IN LIVING ORGANISMS
Chapter 14 – The Hierarchy in the Physical Body
Cells are like frequencies. An organ is many cells like a timbre (combination of frequencies. The relationship between the organs is musical interval. The smoothness of musical flow (including rhythm and melody) and energy (or intention) through each of the 11 systems is the most important.
Chapter 15 – A New Medical System Based on the Hierarchy
We are on the threshold of a new medical system based on vibration. I share how it might work.
Chapter 16 – The Hierarchy Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually
Ultimately, it is about smooth flow physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually.
Chapter 17 – The Hierarchy of Vibration as Peace, Harmony and Flow
This is how we simplified the Hierarchy of Vibration for the children.
Chapter 18 – Healing Systems Based on the Hierarchy
The best healing systems use all five levels of the hierarchy. We examine common healing modalities to see what they are doing based on vibration.
Chapter 19 – The Vibrational Framework from Soul to Cell
Some say that the heart is in control. I have come to believe that the frequency of the Soul is the frequency that our entire system is based on. We look at a variety of theories as to the frequency hierarchy within this complex human system we inhabit.
Chapter 20 – The Hierarchy of Vibration in a Healthy Earth
Every living system has frequencies, timbres, music and energy. The most important aspect of a healthy system is the smooth flow of music and energy in the system. Frequencies and timbres are balanced in order to create this smooth flow. This is true in the human system and the living system of our earth.
Chapter 21 – The Hierarchy of Vibration at all Levels of Reality
We show how this hierarchy exists in light, color, food, geometry and the quantum world.
SECTION VI – CHANGING YOURSELF & THE WORLD WITH SOUND
Introduction – The Allopathic Model vs. The Resonant Health Model
We can focus on “What is wrong,” or we can focus on “What is right.” When focusing on what is wrong, we can do the “seek and destroy,” method of traditional medicine, or we can match the frequency of the issue and slowly transform it into something benign. However, the new paradigm for healing is to not focus on what is wrong at all. Instead, simply resonate what is right – like higher emotions of gratitude, compassion, love, joy; a connection to your own Soul, and a connection to Source and Spirit.
Chapter 22 – Breaking Up and Transforming Blockages
Using destructive resonance, we can find the resonant frequency of a wily cell, then turn the volume up and explode it.
Chapter 23 – Natural Healthy Resonance
We can find the natural frequency of health and resonate it into its healthy state with a frequency of combination of frequencies.
Chapter 24 – Balancing the Full Range Frequency Nutrients
Based on the research of Alfred Tomatis, we need a balance of all frequencies. We explore how to measure this balance with Voice Analysis and how to create a balance with frequencies.
Chapter 25 – Activating vs. Calming at Each Level of the Hierarchy of Vibration
All sound healing instruments can be categorized as to how activating or calming they are. We then use activation or calming for different issues.
SECTION VII – THE PERCEPTUAL WORLD OF SOUND AND MUSIC
Chapter 26 – Perception versus Direct Physical Effects
Recent research shows that if we like a sound, it is good for us physically. However, based on physics, various sounds will affect us differently physically regardless of our preconceptions.
Chapter 27 – So Called Positive and Negative Sounds
When you see everything as it is – Frequency – there is no good or bad. From this perspective it is easy to allow things to be what they are, without resistance or reaction. I cover different approaches to viewing positive and negative sounds. I explain several techniques for dealing with so-called negative sounds, as well as ways to open up more fully to let in positive healing sounds.
Chapter 28 – Transforming Your Relationship with “Good” and “Bad” Sounds
This chapter explores the full range of sounds that we carry within us and encounter daily. The key is to first become aware of the frequency of something. We can then choose to harmonize with the frequency, change it with resonance, or just let it be.
SECTION VIII – YOUR SOUND HEALING TOOLBOX
Introduction – The Sound Tools
Some common sound healing instruments and tools and how to use them.
Chapter 29 – The Voice
- All the Sounds the Voice Can Make and Their Effects
We categorize all the sounds the voice can make based on the effect that create on us physically, mentally, emotionally and Spiritually.
- Toning
Toning is an elongated vowel. It is very simple and powerful technique for creating consistency and peace.
- Chant
Chant often incorporates archetypal sounds with melody and rhythm.
- Mantra
Mantra incorporates these archetypal sounds that have their own magic with a specific repetitive rhythm that creates a specific brainwave state.
With intention both chant and mantra are even more powerful. We then list some well know chants and mantras.
Chapter 30 – Sounds, Instruments and Other Vibrations
In this chapter we look at a wide range of sound healing instruments. I examine how these instruments create their sounds and why they are healing. I discuss their most common healing effects. This chapter will also help you if you are looking to buy an instrument. We explore each of the following: Crystal Bowls, Tibetan Bowls, Tingshas, Chimes, Tuning Forks, Didgeridoo, Gongs, Shakers and Rattles, Drums, Woodwind Instruments, String Instruments, Tone Generators, Synthesized Sounds, Melodic Instruments, Sounds of Nature, Music CDs, Silence, Thoughts, Intention, Food, Light and Color, Geometry, Crystals and Gems, Flower Essences, Electromagnetism and Lasers
– What They Do
– How to Play Them
– How to Choose When Buying
– Tips on Using Them
SECTION IX – PERFORMING SOUND HEALING SESSIONS
Chapter 31 – Safety and Ethics
Sound is a very powerful tool (way beyond what most people realize). Occasionally, it can bring up deep emotional issues. It is important to be prepared to be able to help people in a healing crisis. We also share techniques for protecting yourself and others from the beginning.
Chapter 32 – Performing Sound Healing Treatments and Sound Baths (Concerts)
How to perform a Sound Healing session with either the voice or instruments. We explain a process that can range from extremely simple to quite complex.
- Treatments and Concerts
- Preparing for a Treatment/Concert
- Voice Healing Sessions
- Sound Healing Sessions with Instruments
- Sound Baths
Chapter 33 – The Ultimate Three-Step Healing Process
Over years of doing different types of treatments and interviewing natural healers I have discovered a three-step process that seems to be the most powerful.
– Resonate Bliss
– Weeding
– Resonate Wholeness and Higher Bliss
SECTION X – PHYSICAL HEALING
Introduction – Physical Vibrations Changing Physical Matter
We look at Cymatics visuals – How vibration affects matter.
Chapter 34 – Buzzes in the Body – Tension and Stress
Most illnesses in the body begin with a simple buzz or tension. You will notice that these simple buzzes happen in specific parts of the body. Sound is amazingly effective for getting rid of these buzzes.
Chapter 35 – Healing Organs, Body Parts and Body Systems
We explain how to use sound to harmonize organs, and stresses in specific body parts. Resonating a part of the body with its own natural resonant frequency has been proven to unleash a large amount of stored energy. It also massages the part of the body. Add intention and miracles can happen.
Chapter 36 – The Latest Medical Sound Science
- Sound Helps the Immune system
- Sound Creates Nitric Oxide
- The Vagus Nerve
- Cells Make Sound
- Sound Helps Blood Oxygen
- Sound Creates Light
Chapter 37 – Using Sound to Create Nutrients
All nutrients, including vitamins and minerals are frequencies or a combination of frequencies. Science has now shown that when you resonate a nutrients sound signature, it actually can create it in the body.
SECTION XI – EMOTIONAL HEALING & EXPANSION
Introduction – Emotions as the Cause of All Diseases
Many believe that stuck emotions cause as much as 100% of all disease. If this is true, then learning how to release stuck emotions could save your life. Just as important, most of us would love to be able to get off the roller coaster of emotions.
Chapter 38 – The Sound and Music of Emotions
Sound seems to mimic emotions almost perfectly. Babies and children naturally make the sound of emotions until they get entrained into the limiting structures of our society. But emotions are also like music – either flowing or not. Stuck emotions are like broken records. So-called “negative” emotions are associated with sounds and music that do not support the body’s physiology. Positive emotions support the physical body with their associated sounds.
Chapter 39 – Releasing Stuck Emotions with the Voice
The chapter looks at how and where emotions get stuck in the body and the sounds that you can use sound to release them. You will learn eight different voice techniques for releasing and harmonizing emotions and emotional issues with your own voice. These same techniques can also be used on clients.
Chapter 40 – Higher Levels of Consciousness in Relation to Emotions
You will learn how to prevent emotions from getting stuck in the first place. As we grow, we become less attached to our emotions and resonate more with our Soul.
Chapter 41 – Transforming Negative Beliefs
Negative beliefs within us can create such a strong resonant field that they affect every aspect of our life – health, wealth and relationships. We explain a simple technique for transforming negative beliefs into their opposite with sound.
SECTION XII – BRAINWAVE ENTRAINMENT AND THE BRAIN
Chapter 42 – How Brainwave Entrainment Works
There is some very good research on how rhythms can be used to activate the brain parts of the brain vibrate at different rates: delta, theta, alpha, and beta. Science has shown that when you create a frequency that falls within one of these brainwave states, your brain will entrain to that frequency normally within one minute. These frequencies are generically called binaural beats.
I explore all the different brainwave states and explain how to use sound and music to get access each state. I also discuss how crystal bowls and even the purring of a cat can entrain one’s brain into a very deep state of meditation. You will learn many techniques you can use on yourself and others.
Chapter 43 – Delta State – Sleep Enhancement and Direct Connection to Source
Delta is deep sleep and we are only in this state about 1.5 hours in the night. It is the ultimate state because we are in 100% union with source being regenerated.
Chapter 44 – Theta State – Enhanced Creativity and a Portal to Oneness
Theta is the dream state, but it also associated with a space where you get creative downloads. It is also the portal to the subconscious in hypnotherapy. Theta also happens whenever you tune into more than one thing at a time. Since being One with everything in the Universe is about tuning into everything at once, Theta can be a portal to accessing this ultimate stage of consciousness.
Chapter 45 – Alpha State – Help with ADD, ADHD, Mental Clarity and Memory
Alpha is relaxed attention. It helps with presence, mental clarity, sports and memory.
Chapter 46 – Beta – Thinking and Overcoming ADD/ADHD
Beta is our normal thinking brain – a state we normally want to get out of. However, for some people with ADD, they actually need to get the Beta state activated in order to focus.
Chapter 47 – Gamma and Epsilon – High State of Meditation
Both Gamma (one of the fastest brainwaves) and Deep Delta occur when one is in a high state of meditation. Binaural beats in these ranges can also entrain you into these states.
Chapter 48 – Tuning Binaural Beats to You
The science is very clear that if you tune binaural beats to the person’s natural metabolism, they are much more effective.
Chapter 49 – Left and Right Brain Synchronization
When frequencies are played in different ears on headphones they also synchronize the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This can also be done with tuning forks and other instruments.
Chapter 50 – Nature’s Brainwave Entrainment: The Schumann Resonance, etc.
There are many vibrations in nature that naturally entrain our brains into particular brainwave states. The Schumann Resonance is a frequency that resonates in our atmosphere whenever lightning strikes. It entrains our brain into the threshold between theta and alpha.
Chapter 51 –Brainwave Entrainment for Higher Consciousness
There have been studies that use EEG to measure the brainwaves of Dalai Lama trained meditators. Binaural beats have been used to re-create those same brainwaves in another person with great success.
Chapter 52 – Frequencies and Music on the Brain
We share the latest research to entrain the brain in to Oneness by using ultrasound on microtubules in the brain.

SECTION XIV – SPIRITUAL EXPANSION
Introduction – Clearing out Negative Vibrations vs. Resonating Positive Vibrations
This section is about using sound to open your heart and raise your vibration and consciousness.
We explore the meaning of higher consciousness and I discuss what it means to “raise your vibration,” examining different thoughts on what the phrase means. I then share multiple sound techniques for raising both your vibration and consciousness.
Chapter 55 – Sound for Presence and Mindfulness
When you are 100% present you are simply a point of awareness. Your particular frequency seems to disappear. In this state, there is no pain or suffering, you just are. There is probably no better way to access this state than with sound. Particularly, a sound that ends on the home note with a slow fade is one of the most powerful keys to lead us back to this innate awareness.
Chapter 56 – The Sound of Chakras
There are now technologies that measure the resonance of chakras. I discuss the apparent connection between chakras and endocrine glands. I then show a chart of all of the frequencies, pitches, timbres and music that various sources have associated with each chakra and endocrine gland. We also explore the ancient seed syllables. You will learn a detailed technique for finding the frequency of each chakra on your own. You will also experience a variety of guided meditations for healing and activating each chakra and endocrine gland with sound.
Chapter 57 – The Sound of Subtle Bodies (Auras)
Sound is powerfully effective on the auras, and many say that our auras control all aspects of our physical, mental, emotional and Spiritual body. Some say that the frequency of the auras is based on the harmonic series of sound found in nature.
Chapter 58 – The Sound of Higher Emotions
When you resonate higher emotions with sound it creates a stronger resonant field that entrains your whole system even more powerfully. These vibrations also contribute to creating a much stronger resonant field of love and light on the planet – that will ultimately entrain everyone else on the planet.
Chapter 59 – The Sound of Love
We look at love as frequencies, pitches, timbres, musical intervals, music and energy. Love is actually a frequency higher than sound, so one can add love to any sound frequency. However, there are certain tonalities and frequency ranges that are associated with love and are more likely to induce the feeling. I present a complete chart of sounds and frequencies that have been used since ancient times to open the heart and have the reader try them. I share various thoughts about the frequency of 528 and 432 hertz for love. I also look at the scientific research showing that when transmitting love, one’s heart creates harmonics that are in golden mean ratios.
I share different techniques for transmitting love with. Finally, I examine how fields of love are created and how our own frequency of love strengthens the field of love on the entire planet.
- Love and the Hierarchy of Vibration
Love as frequency, pitch, timbre, musical intervals, music and energy.
- Self Love
This section looks at the dynamics of how frequencies of love resonate when loving one’s self. Who is loving whom? You will learn a variety of sound techniques for transmitting love to the self.
- Loving Relationships
This section outlines all of the different types of loving relationships – friends and family, strangers and acquaintances, and loving partnerships – looking at the dynamics of each from a frequency perspective. I cover several techniques for being loving and holding boundaries at the same time. I also share many techniques for using sound in intimate relationships. There are also some powerful techniques for using sound to resolve conflicts in close relationships.
- Universal Love
Here we explore the nature of Universal and Spiritual love. I explain several sound techniques for opening the heart to Universal love. I take readers through a guided meditation for opening the heart and tapping into the resonant field of love on the planet. I also take a look at the sound of compassion – how it is accessed and how its frequency can be used to change one’s life. Finally, I explore what it would be like to live in a frequency of love throughout the day.
Chapter 60 – The Sound of Your Soul
Just about every song has a home note where we are at rest. Since we are a symphony of frequencies we must also have a home note. Even the Soul must be frequency. It just makes sense that the Soul would be that home note where we are at complete peace and stillness. We cover a variety of ways to find your own Soul frequency and how to resonate it more and more in your life.
Chapter 61 – Oneness – The Sound of Spirit and Source
The ultimate goal is to get to a place where we all are One. We may be able to intellectualize the concept of Oneness but very few have actually experienced such a state. People who have accessed this state report that their lives are forever changed. In a state of oneness there is only peace and love. They also report that this state of oneness is not a singular frequency. It is a place similar to source where we are in touch with all frequencies in the universe at the same time! In fact, it is as though we are all frequencies in the universe. And… as everyone reports… it is a place filled with love beyond words. I share several techniques that use sound to enter this place of Oneness. I then take the reader through a guided meditation to enter the place where we are all One.
SECTION XV – INTEGRATION, CHILDREN AND DAILY LIFE
This section brings many of the concepts and information from the rest of the book together and shows how you can use them to change your life, and others.
Chapter 62 – Holding Frequency in the Midst of Challenges and Conflicts
Challenges and conflicts are probably the #1 cause of us losing track of our own stable, peaceful vibration. This chapter looks at ten ways to handle challenges and conflicts and the sounds associated with each. These include: allowing, being present in the vibrations in your body, being present in your Root/Soul frequency, welcoming, bringing gratitude to the situation, bringing compassion, seeing the other and the situation as sacred.
Chapter 63 – Sound for Children
I share the curriculum and how we developed over 2500 exercises for children at all ages.
Chapter 64 – Living with Sound – Using Sound in Your Life Daily
This chapter explores a range of techniques for using sound throughout the day – from really simple and basic techniques to a fully expanded sound healing practice. I list all the techniques and invite you to choose and use them, as you like.

List of different technologies.
Appendix E – Tuning Systems
A tuning system is the choice of frequencies used for each note in a scale. Ancient tuning systems based every frequency in an octave on natural harmonics found in nature. I look at the technical aspect of how tuning systems can make sound healing even more powerful. I also look at ancient tuning systems such as Just Intonation and Pythagorean Tuning and compare these with our current Equal Tempered system.
