Sound Medicine

How to Use the Ancient Science of Sound to Heal the Body and Mind

By: Kulreet Chaudhary

Narrated by: Soneela Nankani

From a leading neurologist, neuroscientist, and practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine, comes a rigorous scientific investigation of the healing power of sound, showing listeners how they can use it to improve their mental and physical wellbeing.

Why does a baby’s cry instantaneously flood a mother's body with a myriad of stress hormones? How can a song on the radio stir up powerful emotions, from joy to anger, regret to desire? Why does sound itself evoke such primal and deeply felt emotions?

A vibration that travels through air, water, and solids, sound is produced by all matter, and is a fundamental part of every species' survival. But there is a hidden power within sound that has only just begun to be investigated. Sound Medicine takes listeners on a journey through the structure of the mouth, ears, and brain to understand how sound is translated from acoustic vibrations into meaningful neurological impulses. Renowned neurologist and Ayurvedic expert Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary explains how different types of sound impact the human body and brain uniquely, and explores the physiological effects of sound vibration, from altering mood to healing disease.

Blending ancient wisdom with modern science, Dr. Chaudhary traces the history of sound therapy and the use of specific mantras from previously unknown texts - traced back to the Siddhas, a group of enlightened yogis who created a healing tradition that served as the precursor to Ayurvedic medicine - to explain the therapeutic application of sounds for a wide range of conditions. Sound Medicine offers practical, step-by-step lessons for using music and mantras, whether you're a beginner or searching for a more advanced practice, to improve your health in body, mind, and spirit.

Super interesting topic

I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it, as a result I have implemented daily mantra practice and have definitely noticed improvements to insight and calmness.

Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge Doctor Kulreet

Awesome

Great listen, I really recomend it, a bit long on the explanations of sound, nut necessaru to do that.

Learned so much

I truly understand how and why mantras should heal and calm the mind. Great read

This book was outstanding

I have learn so much from the book not only about sound medicine but also a little about the history and spirituality. Thank you for sharing this book with the world

filling in the "gaps"

as a TM practitioner for more than 40 years and a decades-long student practitioner of sound healing, each chapter of this book offers a new "aha!" the audio version was so compelling that I had to also acquire a printed version for close, future reference (and the sound healing library, of course).

immersed in Indian philosophy and spiritual knowledge, it is best suited for those already open to the ageless wisdom of indigenous healing practices. for these souls, it offers an invaluable immersion experience that can help answer countless questions, and stimulate endless growth. highly recommended!

Very good book

Excellent insights into the effects of chanting Mantras in improving the mental & physical health.

Life changing listen

I highly recommend this book as it provides a deeper understanding of the power of sound to live with more tranquilly and balance. I purchased the chakra mantras as well and loving the daily routine I have built in.

one lucky woman's story

worthy, inspiring me to learn more. I would have liked, and had hoped for more data regarding actual specific frequency and delivery speed and intonation. . .a bit more how to, for those who dabble in vibration for pain relief and centering, balancing and internal self-sonography
