The definitive, therapeutic guide

Sound healing is an ancient practice making a comeback as an effective way to ease physical and mental pain. From BBC Sounds' popular platform to gong baths and singing bowls in yoga classes, sound is the new meditation. 

Sound healing is not only an ancient practice, it’s also a key trend in modern wellness: it’s re-emerging as an extremely effective solution for alleviating both physical and mental pain. 

From the boom in ASMR videos to high-end spas offering crystal singing bowl sound baths, the word is out that sound vibrations can help us:

• sleep better
• stress less
• alleviate anxiety and depression
• relegate our nervous systems
• increase creativity, focus and clarity

In this holistic health handbook, well-known sound healer Lyz Cooper and founder of The British Academy of Sound Therapy will introduce us to the power of sound, offering not only stories drawn from experience but also an understanding of the neurological and medical studies that are uncovering exactly how these ancient practices work on the human body. Add to that over 40 'pause to listen' exercises throughout, ranging from meditations in nature to vocal practices, for how to incorporate sound into your wellness practices and you have the definitive guide to this popular and growing area of wellness.
