Sound Healing with the Five Elements: Sound Instruments, Sound Therapy, Sound Energy
Sound created by singing bowls, drums, flutes, string instruments, and many others described in this book, can produce healing effects. Many music therapists and sound healers have been using this knowledge with success. Working with sound healing to harmonize body, soul, and spirit is more complex than just working with music or using sounds. Our consciousness is the key to lasting changes, and sounds can work as keyholes.
The system of the five elements--earth, water, fire, air, and space?creates a comprehensive approach to using sound that integrates body zones, emotions, and thought patterns as well as the subtle anatomy, the energy fields of the human being. Perret learned how the use of the ancient wisdom of the five elements can produce a harmonic balance. In working with sound healing we need to find the right sounds for a person. An "earth" person may need some "fiery" sounds and instruments to get a step further, while an "airy" person may need more "earth," or more "grounding."
This is a practical handbook for therapists and anyone else interested in sound healing.

This is a decent little book that introduces the reader to the instruments of sound healing and a methodology inspired by the Five elements: (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space) While I have never seen the delivered quite this way, but the information was not new to me. It was inspiring in a way that helped me connect the dots... when water is still, it turns rancid, it needs the element of movement. When fire is out of control, we use earth to contain it or water to turn it into steam. This book offers you a way to tap into your own imagination and use the elements in your sonic healing practice. It emphasizes the wholeness or wellness of the healer as well as the ability of the healer to reach into their intuitive guides and allow the music to muse you, to move you. Improvise and let if flow.
I did not get as much information from the book as I had hoped, something new, or something I had not heard yet, but in the manner it was presented, it allowed me to join some previously un-related ideas into something I wish to explore more deeply. If you are beginning in the field of sound healing or energy healing this book has great entry level information.
