Song of the Spine

Pages : 138

Book Description
The human spine with its primary and secondary curves looks like a standing wave. Is it possible, asks the author, that energy echoes like a standing wave between these curves in order to maintain the structural and neural integrity of the spine and nervous system? That question led Dr. Wieder into research on the resonance of the spine. Her studies reveal that each bone of the spine has its own tone and frequency, and that applying specific vibrational frequencies directly to the vertebrae generates a sympathetic response that activates the embedded harmonics that help maintain healthy functioning. This book provides an overview of the history of harmonic healing from ancient times to the present, and chapters on how sound creates form and the neurobiological basis of vibrational healing. But the core of the book is about a vibrational therapy called bone toning, how it was developed and how it can be applied.

Book Description
The Human Symphony compares the human body to an orchestra. Like an orchestra, the body has many players who must be in tune with one another. When the players are harmoniously in tune, the result is a joyous symphony. When the body's natural rhythms are in tune and vibrating in harmony, we have good health, energy, and vitality. When our body rhythms are out of tune, our health is impaired. Each body system has its own tone, its own rhythm, its own harmony, and together they sing the human symphony. The natural rhythms of the body can be restored with sound or vibration. The ancient origins of sound healing are outlined by Dr. Wieder and the basis of modern sound therapy is reviewed. Every thing in the universe vibrates and has its own vibrational frequency. The author describes how she explored the vibrational frequencies of first the spine, and then the entire human body. She discovered that tuning forks can restore the natural harmonic resonance of vertebrae. When treating clients she found tuning forks awkward to work with, so she came up with the idea of developing an electronic tuning fork that could provide the desired frequencies. With the help of a talented and creative electronic designer, a functional electronic tuning fork was produced and marketed. Dr. Wieder clearly describes in detail how to use the electronic tuning fork and muscle testing in vibration therapy. Muscle testing is an important element in finding and treating dysfunctions of the body. Case histories provide examples of using the electronic turning fork for treating various ailments. The final chapter takes a look at future research in sound and vibration therapy.

Notes on Yoga

Book Description
Legendary yoga teacher Vanda Scaravelli, who died in 1999 at the age of 91, developed an approach to yoga that is radically different from most forms of yoga taught today. The nature of the practice she taught is subtle, and therefore difficult to grasp, and her own book, Awakening the Spine, inspires through its philosophy and images but does not go into detail when describing the practice of asanas. Notes on Yoga is the first book to explain Scaravelli's approach in full, and is bound to be an indispensable guide to Scaravelli yoga for both students and teachers.During Scaravelli's 40 years of practice she accepted only a small number of individual students, all of whom were teachers. Diane Long and Sophy Hoare were both long-term students; Diane Long was the first of Scaravelli's regular students and studied with her for 23 years.

Book Description
This compelling collection of stories explores the powerful impact that music has in our lives—especially in the lives of teens. Each story strikes a new note: Ron Koertge introduces us to the boys in the band—the marching band; Joseph Bruchac contributes a Native American boy with no rhythm whatsoever; Jennifer Armstrong writes about what was perhaps the first battle of the bands—during the American Civl War; and David Levithan offers up a love song that speaks powerfully to an unintended audience. But while each story is different, they combine into a harmonic song of praise—for the depths music can reach in us, and the power it has to bind us together.
