Earth Star magazine has included The Divine Name in its Spring reading list.

Here’s their Spring reading list review:

In this groundbreaking work, sound healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman shares his incredible discovery of The Divine Name, a universal sound that, when intoned, can bring harmony and healing to ourselves and the planet.  This name, encoded within our DNA, is the personal name of God, once found in the religious texts that link over half the world’s population.  Prohibited and then lost for nearly 2,500 years, The Divine Name is available once again.  It is a sound that when vocalized has the ability to resonate both the physical body and subtle energy fields of anyone who intones it – irrespective of religion, tradition, or belief.  The Divine Name is a step-by-step process of vibratory activation that will allow you to experience the power, majesty and healing of this extraordinary sound.  Also included is an “instructional” CD that will help you learn to intone The Divine Name yourself, enabling you to revel in its astounding transformational properties.

Review:  The Divine Name by Jonathan Goldman
Dr. John Beaulieu, N.D., Ph.D.

Jonathan Goldman is unique in the field of sound healing. He makes sounds, embodies those sounds, follows them into alternate realities, and then makes them available to us. He says in The Divine Name: “sacred sound occurs when a sound is encoded with the intention of a positive outcome and beneficial results, such as healing”. I believe that Jonathan has the special gift of focusing his intention, journeying on sounds, and discovering the essence of the mystical.

I have watched him do this for many years. I am always amazed and humbled by his talent. His new book The Divine Name is the result of his latest journey. He tells us his journey started when he was a child in synagogue on high holy day awed by “the secret name of God”. Thus began his “seeking” and in this context I think all of his work or “sound journeys” that he has shared with us are resonant soundings of his seeking the Divine Name.

However for Jonathan he wants to sound it even more clearly, to instruct us all so we can sound together. His new book, The Divine Name, gives us precise instructions on how to sound. It is an amazing work. It is like a “novel of sound”. Your eyes see words and your ears do the reading. The story goes through sounds within sounds as the Divine Name seeks to reveal itself.  Only Jonathan, with his accomplished writing style, which we writers like to call “our voice”, can bring the sound journey into such a high level of focus.

Quite simply the Divine Name has to be sounded. Jonathan tells us how to sound in every way possible. He even includes an instructional CD. The word healing means “to make whole and complete, and “to be of sound mind and body”. The journey to wholeness and completion for Jonathan Goldman is through sound resulting in resonance with the Divine Name. In the presence of the divine,  mind and body become sound. The sounder becomes the sounded.  YHVH

Dr. John Beaulieu, N.D., Ph.D., author MUSIC & SOUND IN THE HEALING ARTS

I like to use the analogy that one is wearing dark glasses and then upon perceiving harmonics, is able to take off these glasses and see the full spectrum of sound.  Only of course, it is not the sense of sight we are dealing with, but the sense of hearing. Through learning to first listen to and then create vocal harmonics, it is almost as though one is able to remove ear plugs from the ears and become aware of the full spectrum of sound that is created.

So, to begin, I tell you that vocal harmonics can be an extraordinary means of heightening your consciousness.  It changes your brain waves and begins to stimulate portions of your brains that can receive greater levels of frequency.  This can be a wonderful way of beginning to shift your frequencies–simply through the power of listening.  You begin to open up to new levels of sound and vibration through your ears, your mind and your heart.

On a physical level, I will tell you that different sounds will affect  brain waves,  heart beat and  respiration.  Some of these, such as the soothing sounds of the ocean or gentle music, can be very relaxing and therapeutic.  Other sounds can actually stress the brain and the body and not be of the highest vibration for an individual.  I will discuss this in greater detail at a later time.  For the moment, I would like to suggest that listening to harmonically related sounds, particularly vocal music, can be one of the most uplifting and transformative experiences currently on this planet.  It can relax and relieve stress and it can allow consciousness to travel to higher planes.

Also, from a scientific level, I can tell you that there is now important research which indicates that by listening to sounds which are high in harmonic content, it is actually possible to provide a great charge of energy to the human brain, and therefore to the body as well.  Sounds that are rich in harmonics provide a nourishment to the body, brain and psyche.  Simply by listening to these sounds, you can begin to learn to shift your frequencies.

Please tune in April 14th, Wednesday, at 12 noon US Eastern Time, to www.healthylife.net when I present “The Healing Sounds Show”. My guest for this show will be Russill Paul.

Harmonically Yours,

Jonathan Goldman

1. Sitting quietly before sounding: attempting to get centered.	2. I begin to vocalize the Divine Name and white light begins to appear.

3. I continue to intone the Divine Name as the white light grows.	4. The more I sound, the more the white light continues to envelop me

I had just sent out the completed manuscript of The Divine Name to my editor. I was done with the book. It was the best I could do. I was content.

The next day, I attended INATS, the International New Age Trade show-a yearly event in Denver where authors, musicians, artisans and many others speak, perform or had booths displaying their works or others such as myself, who did signings for those in attendance. The first day had been extremely busy for me, ending that night with my receiving two Visionary Awards, one for “Best Healing/Meditation Album” which my CD “2012: Ascension Harmonics” won and another for “Best Web Site” which the Temple of Sacred Sound won. This was a great surprise to me as well as quite an honor.

The following day my wife Andi & I arrived quite late at the show in order to spend a couple of hours looking around at what we had missed previously due to our busy schedule of activities the day before. As the show was just about to close down, I passed by a booth that had “Aura Imaging” photography.

The study of photographing the aura has been around since the 1930’s, when two Russian scientists, Valerie and Semyon Kirlian accidentally discovered that by passing a slight electric current through a plate that contained living matter, they were able to observe some sort of color “discharge” that extended beyond the physical material-what has become known as the aura or the electro-magnetic field. This work has progressed over many years until there are now sophisticated cameras available that seem to be able to record different colors of the aura relating to moods and other factors of people who are being photographed. There’s much skepticism about the validity of these cameras, though the photographs can be fascinating to observe.

At this booth, there was a monitor that displayed the “real time” effects of people using the equipment. I was asked to sit down and try it. However, I was tired and ready to leave the show-not particularly interested in having my aura photographed. But for some reason, however, I was guided to sit down and as an experiment, see if any changes would occur in my aura while intoning the Divine Name. Apparently, when I did this, the results were quite startling to everyone around the booth including the aura camera operator. I had missed whatever had occurred since my eyes were closed. I was asked to do sound the Divine Name again. This time, the results were recorded.

What I present now are photographs taken from a brief 20-second video made while I intoned the Divine Name. It is not my purpose to validate aura photography or equate any particular meaning to what you’ll see. I simply make these photos available for your perusal. Most aura photography shows one or two predominant colors that are seen swirling around a person. With these photos below, there was an initial slight bluish purple that was visible before I began to vocalize the Divine Name. This bluish purple hue is not visible in the first of these black and white photos. However, as you’ll see, in the next pictures that follow the first, a pure white light almost immediately begins to emerge and then envelope me as I vocalized the Divine Name.

No claims are made about what these pictures represent. I do find it most interesting that rather than the traditional change in the color of the photograph which is usual when people try to affect their aura, these pictures demonstrate something quite different. As I started to sound the Divine Name, white light immediately began to manifest. I’d never seen that before. I don’t believe anyone else had either. I present these photos to you now with no agenda. They may well show one aspect of the power of the Divine Name to initiate Light & Love through Sound. Or they may indicate something else. I trust you’ll find them of interest.

From THE DIVINE NAME ©2010 by Jonathan Goldman, Published by HayHouse

It’s my great honor to let you know that my latest book THE DIVINE NAME, published by Hay House, is now available. I consider the THE DIVINE NAME to be the culmination of my work of over 30 years as a pioneer in the field of Sound and Vibration.

THE DIVINE NAME is about a discovery I made over 15 years ago of a universal sound that has the potential of not only creating wellness on a personal level, but of helping to shift consciousness on a global level. This discovery is a universal sound—what many consider to be the lost sound of God—that has the potential of creating health and harmony within us and assisting all of human kind.

THE DIVINE NAME features a foreword by esteemed Hay House author, Gregg Braden, and includes a free hour long interactive Instructional CD that assists readers in creating and experiencing the power of this extraordinary sound. I invite you to bring THE DIVINE NAME into your life. If you learn to experience this extraordinary sound, it will change you and your world—it’s as simple and powerful and as important as that.

Here’s a link to some very amazing aura imaging that occurred when I intoned THE DIVINE NAME.  Please check it out–I think you will find it most interesting.

The Sound That Can Change the World

Sound Healing Pioneer Uncovers the Ancient Universal Sound of God That Can Bring Peace & Healing to Ourselves and the Planet

“…Jonathan shares ancient instructions for creating the sound of God’s name in a way the honors the reason it has remained hidden for centuries. … think of it as a condensed initiation into the great mystery schools, it’s your users’ manual for inviting God’s personal name into your life.”

~Gregg Braden, from the Foreword of The Divine Name

Nearly 15 years ago, sound healing pioneer Jonathan Goldman made a monumental discovery so powerful, he contemplated whether he could share it with the world. In his new book, THE DIVINE NAME: The Sound That Can Change the World (Hay House/ $17.95), he uncovers the secret sound of God, that when intoned, has the potential to transform our lives and the planet. Originally found in ancient religious texts, this name had been banned, suppressed and ultimately forgotten and lost for centuries. In this seminal book, Goldman reveals how this ancient name when vocalized, irrespective of our religious beliefs, has the power and potential to usher in a new era of healing, peace and unity.

“This is a sound-the personal name of God found in the Bible-that has been lost for more than 2,500 years,” shares Goldman, an international authority and pioneer in sound healing for over 30 years. He adds, “I made an astounding discovery-that the intonation of a particular sequence of vowels created the Divine Name. This was not a spoken word, but a vocalization that sounds extraordinarily like the name of the creator God in the Old Testament- the foundational book of the Abrahamic traditions, that is responsible for over half the planet’s religions.”

Goldman made this discovery in the early 1990’s, but put off sharing it with all but his best students until friend and colleague, Gregg Braden, began teaching information from his books THE GOD CODE and THE ISSIAH EFFECT, which dealt with the power of prayer, as well as, the Divine Name. Goldman began to openly teach his material and then decided to share this information, as well as, the technique for readers to learn how to make this extraordinary sound. Included with THE DIVINE NAME book is an “Instructional CD” designed to easily facilitate the learning of this “lost sound of God”.

“When vocalized, this sound has the ability of creating resonance from the top of the head to the base of the spine and then back again and because it is composed of vowel sounds which are found in all different religions, spiritual paths, cultures and traditions, this Divine Name cannot be confined to any particular group or organization. Additionally, these sounds when properly intoned seem to have the ability to affect everyone the same way–creating the same sort of resonance for all,” shares Goldman.

Besides the spiritual effects of self-created sound, the Divine Name, can be used to create extraordinary health benefits for us on a personal level, balancing our chakras and our electro-magnetic field. Goldman believes that if we learn to create this sound we’ll activate our innate God force; generating major positive changes and transformational healing for ourselves and the world.

THE DIVINE NAME: The Sound That Can Change the World is available for purchase at www.thedivinename.com and at bookstores nationwide.

The first sense to arrive is that of hearing.  And hearing is you last sense to depart.  Even scientists will tell you that for those revived from the near death experience the last sense that they were aware of on the physical plane was sound.   These scientists will also tell you that certain studies about  near death experiences reveal  that the most frequently experienced sound that was heard by people going through what you call “the tunnel” to the other side, was that of choral music deep in vocal harmonics.   From an inter-dimensional standpoint, I can tell you that this is true.  Vocal harmonics come as close as you can to create to the singing of angels.

Hearing is an extraordinary sense–it really helps define reality.  You can shut your eyes to block sight and not breath through your nose to block smell, but it really is very difficult to block sound.  Sound is all around and through our sense of hearing our reality is helped to be created.   I would like to take this understanding one step further and tell you that  hearing is a passive activity.  Hearing is a passive activity, because many times you are not aware of the sounds which are affecting you.  The sounds may be vibrating your bodies and going into your ears and into your brain, but frequently, you are not aware of them.   Listening is a conscious activity.   Listening is an active activity.  Through learning to listen we can heighten our awareness of reality and our consciousness.

Take a moment now, after you had read this next paragraph, and close your eyes.  Close your eyes and listen to the sounds that are all around you.  What are you aware of?  Listen as alertly as you can?   Are you aware of the sounds of machines in the room or in a neighboring room.  Or from the outside.  Is there music playing?  Or birds calling?  Is the wind blowing?  Are there people talking nearby?  Are there street sounds such as cars going by?  What are you listening to?  Are you aware of  the sound of your own breathing or of your own heart beating?  Are you aware of the sound  the blood rushing through your veins or impulses moving through your nervous system?  What are the sounds you are listening to?  Take a moment and listen.  And when you have finished, take some time to note to yourself any differences you may have experienced before and after you took the time to listen.  For many people the experience of active listening opens up new realms of sound.

Simply by learning to listen,  we can dramatically heighten our perception of the world and alter our consciousness.  There are many meditation groups and spiritual paths which use sound as a means of entering the Divine.   Listening to the “Shabd”,  the Sound Current, is an extraordinary yogic discipline.    For many of these groups, the inner sounds experienced by deep listening, are among the most profound ways of traveling to higher planes.    Some spiritual masters have even charted the sounds of different planes, from the sounds of bells ringing to the sounds of ocean to the sounds of the humming of bees.  These are inner sound listening  and they are very powerful indeed.   as are the experiences of listening to outer sounds.  And then there are harmonics, which may be the bridge between the inner and the outer sounds.

My first introduction to hearing vocal harmonics came from listening to recordings  many years ago.  I heard the harmonic sounds and tried to duplicate them.  Later on, I studied with masters of the harmonic voice from many different traditions.  Yet, there are now many individuals who hear and consciously create vocal harmonics quite naturally within their own sounds during sacred sounding.  The question is why?

Harmonics, as we discussed last time, have always been around, for they are simply an aspect of the physics of vibration.  Vocal harmonics have also always occurred–particularly when individuals would sound elongated vowel sounds.  However, the awareness of these sounds is new.  They have always existed, but people have not been able to hear them until now.   Once again, we ask you why?

An answer is that harmonics are very much like the aura of a sound.  It is not a totally correct analogy, but it will do for the moment.  Auras have always existed around the physical body of individuals, yet knowledge of these auras, let alone the ability to see them, was restricted to a very select group of individuals.  Until now.   Now, it is not uncommon for people to begin to develop the ability to see auras on their own, or to learn techniques to develop this ability through reading a book or taking a workshop.  In the same way, awareness and development of the ability to create vocal harmonics is occurring.  It all has to do with the shifts in consciousness and in the vibratory rate of the planet and its occupants.

To begin with, when one develops the ability to hear vocal harmonics, it is though new connections in the brain have occurred and this is exactly what does happens.    As  one develops this ability to become aware of and hear vocal harmonics,  and then consciously learn to create them,  astounding things are experienced.

The sense of hearing is one of the most extraordinary on the planet.  One begins to develop this sense of hearing and to become aware of sound while still in utero.  In fact, the sense of hearing begins somewhere around the third month of the fetus.  Think about this.   All you who have delivered children or are thinking about it, become aware that the little being inside of you is sensitive and picking up the vibrations of  the sound around you, including your own voice.   Be aware of  what you say and how you say it, especially if you are with child.
