I am always excited to share book recommendations when people ask. My inner book worm gets to GLOW! I wanted to share 5 of my favorite sound healing book recommendations for those who want to deepen their connection to the practice or find an accessible entry-point for self-exploration.

The 7 Secrets of Sound Healing

Jonathan Goldman

This book offers 7 clear and concise tips, concepts, and principles about sound healing, from one of the   early researchers into the power of sound healing. It’s one of the best entry points to sound healing out there - not a lot of overcomplicated or flowery language.

The Mysticism of Sound and Music: The Sufi Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

Hazrat Inayat Khan

You can scientifically talk a lot about what sound healing does… but what about how it makes you FEEL. This book is beautiful poetry about the sacred connection we have for sound - very much a love-letter to the sound.

The Healing Power of Sound: Recovery from Life-Threatening Illness Using Sound, Voice, and Music

Mitchell L. Gaynor MD

This book is a nice bridge between the metaphysical/spiritual energy of sound and the medical and wellness-focused application.  It’s this connection and foundation that is presented in this book that has helped bridge my language of sound to connect to a wide range of audiences.

The Architecture of Sound and the Alchemy of Transcendence

Jarrod Byrne Mayer

Sound is the Guru - author Jarrod Byrne Mayer reminds us. It’s this reverence and reminder that resonates with me in this book, highlighting the ever-important and ever-potent presence of sound in our personal experience.

Sonic Theology: Hinduism and Sacred Sound

Guy L. Beck

This book is a bit more research-based, so the academic within me loves this book. But what is also important, though, is that this book highlights the cultural connections and foundation of the practice - in detail.
