Synopsis

In virtually every culture throughout history, human beings have used toning, chanting and singing to praise their Creator and to heal their bodies and spirits. Our conventional Judeo-Christian culture is almost devoid of this healing tradition. Perhaps to fill this used, toning - the sustained, vibratory sounding of single tones, often vowel sounds, without the use of melody, rhythm or words - is quickly becoming a valuable tool for spiritually awakening people. Bypassing language entirely, toning allows us to express the heart and soul directly, quieting the over-active left brain. Contents: 1. Finding the Voice Within, 2. The Holographic Song, 3.
