The GCP measures events of high compassionate consciousness like World Sound Healing Day and other activities such as peace meditations. Using Random Number Generators, the GCP has found that with events of high compassion, the numbers that manifest are…
There is much interest in the field of sound healing regarding the specific healing nature of certain frequencies. In particular, there’s much interest in what are known as the Solfeggio Frequencies, as well as some others. Our September 2024 Sound Satsang focused on the “Solfeggio Frequencies.” Andi and I did this presentation because of the…
Hello, I’m Jonathan Goldman, and I’d like to introduce you to Conscious Humming, a potent self-healing technique. This practice harnesses both psychoacoustic and vibroacoustic effects of sound, influencing our nervous system and impacting us at a cellular level.

There are a number of different “sciences” behind mantric chanting. Some of these are the “hard” science—physics, psycho-acoustics, etc. Some of these are spiritual sciences such as the different yogic practices that work with sound. I write about many of them in HEALING SOUNDS and my other books. On one level, as observed years ago by Dr. Herbert Benson, mantric chanting helps induce…

I trust you read the previous blog (and watched the 3 minute video) about the power of humming to release Nitric Oxide (NO). This use of Nitric Oxide focused on……
Everyone seems to be contributing their thoughts in this time of what is considered a global pandemic of Covid-19 and it seemed correct to do the same. So in this blog and for several after, I will be putting forth some ideas about how we can use sound and consciousness to…

The pineal gland is a small and relatively mysterious gland located in the middle of the brain. Shaped like a pine cone (its name is derived from “pinealis”, the Latin word for pine cone), this gland has largely been ignored in medicine, though awareness of its importance is now becoming known in scientific fields. It…
Just The Facts, Vol. 3: Tunings and Temperament by Jonathan Goldman In our last “Just The Facts”, we addressed the fact that the frequency for the keynote of “A” as utilized in orchestras as a means to tune up has varied immensely through the last few hundred years. This has not taken into consideration what…

The ability of sound to influence and affect us, particularly, our chakras, has been of great significance to me ever since I began researching this area, way back in the 1980’s. There are many different methods of sounding our chakras—different tones, scales, assorted sounds and mantras, as well as many other variations that can be…
Originally appeared in the Arkansas Democratic Gazette http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2010/jun/22/ear-wars-20100622/ Of the five senses, hearing is the one we punish most through excess. About three in 20 people will lose high-frequency tones by their 69th birthday, according to the National Institutes of Health, and many of those by choice. Some of us like the color green, but…
