Tibetan Sounds for Life, Mar 8 2007
By Bernard A. Silvers "meditation devotee" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Sound Healing [With CD] (Hardcover)
Since I bought this item I have used it often for meditation and found it extremely helpful. It is easy to follow, it shuts off the thinking mind and there is a refreshed feeling afterwards. I had several friends listen to the CD and they were delighted with it. They have now decided to get it and to use it as their main meditation method. When I bought it even though I have meditated for years I knew nothing about the chakras. This gives one an experiential understanding of the chakras and helps one to open oneself up to the special experience. I absolutely recommend it for the beginner or the advanced meditation student.

This book teaches an active form of Tibetan healing with sound meditation, May 7 2007
By Morgan Henderson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Sound Healing [With CD] (Hardcover)
One can use the "Five Warrior Syllable" sounds and other sound meditation techniques taught in this book-with-CD for healing, to clear internal blocks your life,and to manifest realistic action steps to create change in your life.
By doing this daily practice, spiritual life and daily life are not kept separate, but form one transparent circle of doing and being.
I am new at practicing this active meditation, using the instructions in the book-and-audio CD (included), supported by my teacher Gabriel Rocco, a senior student of Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche.
I find this daily practice powerful for me in making concrete action changes in the way I live my life, and healing (not curing) my experience with cancer.
You do not have to be Buddhist to understand or make use of the valuable sound meditation practice.
The author is a teacher in the Bon tradition of Buddhism, with a Center near Charlottesville, Virginia. They offer teaching workshops.

Powerful but simple sound healing tools for everyone, Sep 11 2007
By Rinda M. Payne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tibetan Sound Healing [With CD] (Hardcover)
Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche invites the reader into the realm of sound healing in the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition via the Five Warrior Syllables and the Tsa Lung Exercises. The combination of text and CD meditations aid the reader, especially one new to sound healing, to readily duplicate the sacred sounds while visualizing the intended effects of the sounds. The sounding of the Five Warrior Syllables in conjunction with their accompanying meditations aims straight at one's inner core and energetic channels. Their use clears mental, emotional and physical blockages and opens the energetic channels. As a result, one's true inner nature reveals itself and at the same time impacts the world at large. These Tibetan Bon seed syllables are powerful but simple tools to include in an ongoing sound healing practice or for introducing beginners to the healing benefits of incorporating sound into their daily life.
