This experience sustained me for many many years when there wasn't any support for frequency healing, and later when interest became great in the "alternative" world but such experiences were only acknowledged if they occurred in other cultures. I could rest assured knowing that Spirit and Mystery and Wisdom did not belong only to a few, that no group had a monopoly on God, and that if we went far enough back into any and all our lineages we would find the simple ways of Earth Wisdom that existed before we created such great complexities and separateness.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A LIVING BOOK</B></div> <bR> <div> This book is about the work I have done for the past thirty years. I want to tell of the intricacies, complexities, formulas of sound frequencies that I meet with daily. I had planned on writing it as a scientist and as a mathematician, but as I began to write , the words came out in cadences, in the rhythms of their aliveness.</div> <div> This book is a living book. This book is to be read aloud; it is an experiential reading. The sound of your voice will help resonate the sounds behind the words to touch your body and deepen your experience. This book is written for your body, not your head. It is written for the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual bodies. It is written in these variety of rhythms so that the words may be able to drop in and penetrate the bodies. It is written so that the stories may touch the commonalty of our histories and help us begin to feel, begin to move, begin to remember, begin to accept, begin to connect, begin to foster courage, begin to see the thread of the various imprints. Your stories may be of a different flavor or hue, but I trust that you will find a thread of familiarity that cannot be overlooked, especially if you encourage your willingness to keep looking.</div> <div> I wrote this book so that the sounds can be within the words; that the impact of the words could enter the body; that the body would stir the memories of the feelings that the sound and rhythm of the words ignite.</div> <div> This book is written as a way to create acceptance for that which may be unexpressed bodily. This book is written to release the body of past stored memories, so that the body can become current, present, conscious, neutral, to go toward it's birthright, it's evolutionary intelligence, it's future.</div> <div> The pieces in this book have been designed and placed to foster an experience of following a thread, a fiber of denied rhythmic expression throughout the body. Acceptance and willingness to stay in the journey are necessary to fully transform the blues into gold. By feeling dissonance and following it, it will move and guide you to a place of understanding, to a place of grace with no hooks to the past. For in a place of neutral, there is freedom of movement and the possibility for evolution.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I><B>Carl Jung says that if you find the psychic wound in an individual or a people, there you will also find their path to consciousness For it is in healing of our psychic wounds that we come to know ourselves.</B></I></div> <bR> <div> <B>SOUNDPRINTS</B></div> <bR> <div> This book demonstrates a spiral layering of the physical anatomy of the emotional body. I have translated the sounds I have perceived in peoples' bodies into words. The SoundPrints and the Spiral exercises placed throughout the reading are to be read aloud in your own phonetic interpretation. The exercises are a demonstration of one possibility of expression. They are presented to encourage you to interpret what you perceive. You would not "hear" how I "hear," nor "sound" as I would "sound." You would "hear" and "sound" through your own interpretation. There is not a right way for them to be read. Your own voice has the ability to be more accurate for your body than another's voice. Initially, others voices assist us to find our own. The SoundPrints are placed here to assist you, the reader, not just to integrate the words more fully, physically, emotionally, and psychologically, but also to experience the power of sound as a transformative tool. The Spiral exercises are designed to unwind held patterns of conditioned thinking and conditioned feelings in our bodies. This book unwinds spirally, a layer of denied expression, recorded stories of our blues, our anger, our guilt, rooted in our Mother God and Father God issues, our grieving turning us to prayer: prayer for surrender and the grace of acceptance of our humanness.</div> <div> All of the exercises and SoundPrints in the book reference their location on the accompanying CD by track number. The track is located on the page containg the specific exercise or SoundPrint. The exercises and SoundPrints have been recorded in the order they appear in the book... </div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>_______________________________________________________________</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id151.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Author Vickie Dodd"><B>about the author</B></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id140.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Chapter Vickie Dodd"><B>sample book chapter</B></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id30.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="catalog"><B>catalog</B></A></div> <div> <B>                  </B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>                                         </B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#FFFF00" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#CC3300" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="id31.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="how to order this book"><B>How to Order this Book </B></A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> <B>Tuning the Blues to Gold</B></div> <div> <I><B>S O U N D P R I N T S</B></I></div> <div> <B>Vickie Dodd  </B></div> <div> <B>245 pgs.  $24.95  paperback  ISBN: 0965813711</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
