<p>Healing with song and music continues to be a common practice used by traditional healers around the world. The use of song and chant in ancient healing rituals can be traced to teachings of antiquity found in Europe, Asia, China, Tibet, and the Americas. The use of the voice as a complementary healing modality is a new and expanding field that is supported by ancient traditions as well as by the new physics.<br> Microtonal Healing is designed to take the reader into an exploration of the vocal healing experience. It informs newcomers as well as those familiar with concepts of holistic health and energy medicine and provides a concise rationale for understanding the healing voice. The goal of Microtonal Healing is to demonstrate that the voice is a vibrational medicine tool that complements natural healing processes, and as such, it is the most vital and noninvasive tool for maintaining and restoring well-being.<br>FROM THE AUTHOR: Although overtone chanting has been widely discussed within the sound healing community as a whole, the practice has not been systematically investigated and documented from the experiential perspective as it is presented in my dissertation In Search of Healing Voices (Nielsen 2000). The healing voice is a subject that has been discussed primarily within the context of musical harmonics, and overtone chanting has often been the vocal method explored. I came to see that harmonic theory does not always explain the function of the healing voice, and musical theory presented in sound healing literature has not addressed the healing process that is initiated by vocal practices.</p>
