Sitting with the Sound: A gentle guide to presence and peace with Tinnitus

Great results

Great Product.

This is a detailed book that is easy to read. The tidbit on where sound healing is believed to have originated was interesting and didn't drag on or distract from the content. I also appreciate the images included for types of sound therapy.Other than the formatting on the references being incorrect, the references look good, and I'm happy to see references for images. There are citations! It was refreshing to see this and helps in my trust for the content inside. I didn't see picture citations, but the references do make it clear which reference is for which image. It looks like there was a real attempt to get all of this correct. I'm pleased to see credit being given properly.I enjoyed the information included and learned quite a bit. It was well worth the read for me.

I started using frequencies about 3 years ago to help with focus, concentration, relaxation, and sleep. They have helped tremendously. This book opened me up to more ways to help me heal from various situations. I highly recommend this to everyone.

Really interesting! I totally recommend it

Excellent book that covers a great deal of information about sound healing. I recommend that you read it as soon as you get the opportunity to do so.

Although this is described as a beginners guide, I found it very helpful as an experienced Reiki healer to follow the informative meditations. Thank you for a wonderfully written and thorough guide.

A great book detailing this info and nicely structured. The explanations are properly put together and listed.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have been drawn to and dabbled with Sound Healing as a modality for most of my life…but until now, I had yet to find a solid, organized resource to easily reference the basics/the hows/the whys/and most significantly as a Registered Nurse and Professional Musician seeking to integrate my careers into a truly holistic practice…the science and well-researched, evidentiary data to explain what happens when humans and the world engage sonically with positive intent.This book is like a wonderfully curated toolbox, full of well articulated exercises that are easy to follow when building a practice, that are explained in a way that really facilitates understanding—it’s not like a dry textbook. The topics cover everything from mantras to music, drumming to vocal tone work, chakra clearing/harmonizing work to helpful techniques for finding harmony within the noisy world of modern life…there truly is a wealth of information here!In these times when we feel so distant and disconnected from the natural world, our body’s own rhythms and harmonies, as well as each other…I think practices like learning to use sound (particularly our unique human voices) to heal ourselves and the world around us are crucial to be shared and understood…we do really have more power than we often realize, and I appreciate this book’s focus on empowering the reader to find the resources within to help soothe and support ourselves!!!THIS is the reference book I have been seeking to get my Sound Healing journey REALLY underway…and I wholeheartedly recommend it!!

The Ascending Vibrations book, Sound Healing For Beginners: Sonic Medicine for the Body, Chakra Rituals and What They Didn't Tell You About Vibrational Energy is an impressive compilation of information on numerous aspects of sound healing and vibrational energy. It is well written, and has a broad scope, as you will see from the many topics cited below.The book contains many exercises, visualizations and scripts which can be recorded and played back for practice, including scripts or descriptions of mindful listening, scanning the body, sensory awareness, various breathing exercises, vocal toning (including humming, chanting and laughing), exercises using the Five Elements, and visualizations of the energy centers and pathways in the body, such as chakras and the meridians.The authors discuss how silence can be therapeutic, as well as a description of tinnitus and the use of sound therapy as a treatment. They include brief descriptions of crystals, how their vibrational frequencies can be used in sound therapy, and how sound can be used to recharge them. They described how shamanic healing incorporates sound, and how Traditional Chinese Medicine utilizes healing sounds in the practice of qigong. There is also a more detailed discussion of singing bowls and tuning forks which describe the various types of bowls and forks as well as some tips on selecting the right bowl or fork for your purposes.Some additional aspects of sound and sound healing that are covered include the importance of intention in sound healing, a discussion of noise pollution and how 'good sounds' can be used to counteract 'bad sounds'. Additional topics include music therapy, ASMR, binaural beats, subliminal messaging, the use of sound in energy medicine, harmonic healing and overtone singing, mantras, and meditation.Many topics were supported by studies (a number were published in peer reviewed journals) and research that is currently being undertaken to understand the effectiveness of various sound healing techniques. The sources were all documented in a Reference section at the end of the book.The authors concluded the book by stating how important and fundamental sound is for life, observed how sound shapes us, and how important it is to adapt sound to make life 'easier, calmer and less painful'.I generally enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to people who want to learn about sound healing and its many applications. I will use it as a reference in the future as I continue to explore different aspects of sound healing. I would suggest that the authors include an index, as the table of contents was too general. An index would allow the reader to locate the topics of interest more easily.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I picked up Sound Healing For Beginners because I had already tried sound healing and felt something real happening in my body, but I didn’t fully understand why. I wanted more than vibes and pretty words. I wanted grounding, explanation, and context.This book gave me exactly that.It breaks sound healing down in a way that’s approachable without feeling watered down. The explanations of how vibration affects the body, nervous system, and energy centers helped me connect my personal experience to something more intentional and informed. I especially appreciated how the author talks about chakra rituals and somatic awareness in a way that feels practical, not mystical-for-the-sake-of-it.What stood out most was the honesty. The book doesn’t oversell sound healing as a miracle cure. It talks about what people often don’t tell you, the patience required, the individuality of experience, and how sound healing works best as a supportive practice rather than a magic switch.If you’ve tried sound healing and felt curious afterward, like you knew there was more going on beneath the surface, this is a great next step. It helped me deepen my understanding and made me more intentional about how I engage with sound as part of my wellness routine.

There's a lot in this book. From tips, tricks, and exercises to history of vibration and sound healing to evidence of modern noise pollution.

This book offers so much more than information on sound healing. It is a great little reference book and introductory crash course into all things alternative healing with a cliff notes version into a vast variety of topics I have been curious about. I appreciate how  this info is all collected for me in one place.  I received the Kindle version but think I will buy the paperback to have as a quick and handy guide.I expected to learn a few things about frequencies and such but ended up walking away with several valuable lessons on just being a better human.The paragraph about perceived listening was intriguing and really hit home.I took the time to highlight it and reread several times as it resembles how my husband listens to me. Its not a mean, purposefully not listening to the words I'm saying thing, its just going in with preconceived ideas which will never allow me to truly be heard.  I was able to shift my understanding on his perception and allow him some grace and I may use this info to discuss the matter with him.There are many examples of various healing activities I bookmarked and will revisit at the needed occasion.Overall I am very pleased with this book and the well researched and easily laid out information provided..I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book feels like the kind of companion you don’t just read, you experience. It moves with intention, layering insight on top of introspection in a way that feels both grounded and expansive. There’s a quiet authority in its voice, not demanding, but confident; inviting you to sit with yourself, unpack your patterns, and move through growth with purpose instead of pressure. It’s the type of work that doesn’t rush you, but also doesn’t let you hide.What makes this book hit different is the way it blends structure with self-discovery. It isn’t just about motivation; it’s about alignment. It pushes you to ask better questions, examine your habits, and own your personal power in a way that feels elegant instead of aggressive. There’s a maturity to it, like advice from someone who’s lived life, learned hard lessons, and isn’t interested in sugarcoating, but still believes in your ability to rise.Overall, it reads like a luxury self-conversation: thoughtful, layered, and transformative in that slow-burn way. Not flashy, not shallow, but deeply effective. This is the kind of book you keep on your shelf not just to reread, but to reference when you’re leveling up. Quietly powerful. Softly revolutionary.

I am on a healing journey and sound healing is my latest indulgence. Knowing how deeply music affects out emotional and physical body I wanted to dig deeper into the healing aspects of it this book is amazing and breaks down every question I may have had plus more

Several ways to calm not only anxiety but find inner beauty through forms of self healing through sound. It would definitely help in the tarot spectrum of things when locating balance during readings

This is such a comprehensive book on sound healing. If you’re interested in any aspect of sound healing, you would probably love this book. I was mostly interested in vocal toning since I used to be in a toning group in the nineties but have recently become interested in tuning forks and solfeggio frequencies. I didn’t really understand them though, and the information in this book was quite helpful. It covers those topics and much more such as using crystals and meditations. The author explains the various tools used in sound healing and is thorough rather than just breezing over topics like some books do. You’ll learn how to use sound for a variety of practical treatments for health and wellness. Highly recommended.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book makes sound healing feel way more approachable than I expected. Instead of overwhelming you, it breaks everything down in a really simple, practical way. I loved how it explains the science behind noise and stress, but also gives tons of easy techniques you can try right away—humming, vocal toning, tuning forks, singing bowls, and more. The bonus meditations and videos are a great touch too. If you’ve ever wanted to explore sound healing without the confusion, this is a perfect place to start.

This book was a great read. Lots of helpful knowledge and helpful tips. I'm grateful to have found this particular book and the free meditations it provides, too!.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I've been interested in sound healing for well over twenty years now. This book is an excellent introduction to the topic. It defines what sound healing is, covers different types of sound-healing techniques, how they impact the body, and the science behind them, and also explores in depth the kilohertz frequencies of various pitches and vowel sounds and how they affect different parts of the body. I've never seen those last two brought together in one source before, so that was great.This is an introductory book, so it doesn't go as deep into one type of sound healing as other specialist techniques. Another good introductory book is Johnathan Goldman's '7 Secrets of Sound Healing', which I note has a revised edition since I read it when it first came out.Definitely recommend this book as a good way in to sound healing.

The book is about sound healing, a topic that was new to me. It makes a good introduction about how the right sound at the correct vibrational frequency can actually help you heal. The book states that the vibrations can open blocked energy channels and release tension stored in the muscles.There are many exercises, and the book is well-structured, starting with the different instruments used—a tuning fork, gongs, singing bowls, chimes, and more- and how vocal toning can affect the body. It was interesting to read how humming or laughing can target specific parts of the body and the seven Chakras.I appreciate that the author discusses topics such as noise pollution and offers a few strategies to cope. My key takeaway chapter is on Mantra Magic and Guided Meditations.The author offers several bonuses: a companion video course with over 4.5 hours of empowering content; energy-tapping videos; powerful guided meditations; and journals, including The Manifesting Secret Formula Toolkit, The Spiritual Cleansing Toolkit, and A Powerful 10-Minute Energy Healing Guided Meditation. All these make the book a very good value.I found that the book offers lots of practical advice, so I do recommend it.My opinions are my own.

This book is great introduction to nature's sound healing of the body. I tried some of these exercises and it help clear my mind and has brought me clarity for my business progression into 2026.

If you are wanting to dive deeper into your practice of sound healing then you definitely need this book. It is everything I didn't know that I needed. It says beginners and it is perfect for beginners, but it really does go further in depth.
