It is often nearly impossible to find good books on the use of sound for healing that are not filled with a bunch of new age garbage (as a rule, I’ve found most of those types of books to be so filled with shoddy “research” that I tend to shun them entirely). This book, however, was written by an M.D., and a respected one at that. While The Healing Power of Sound is really a collection of Dr. Gaynor’s anecdotal experiences using such things as Himalayan Singing Bowls, he provides readers with a cogent and coherent overview of the use of sound as an ancient and highly effective treatment modality. Of particular interest is the fact that Dr. Gaynor in an oncologist and works with terminally ill patients who are often in tremendous pain.
With luck, others in the medical and helping professions will read this book (and; hopefully, with an open mind) and begin to learn about the very effective ideas that Dr. Gaynor describes.
