The Power of Sound (Second Edition)
How to Be Healthy and Productive
Using Music and Sound
(2010 Inner Traditions)
The Power of Sound is for everybody with ears.
What we hear-and how we process it-has a far greater impact on our daily living than we realize. From the womb to the moment we die we are inescapably surrounded by sound, and what we hear can either energize or deplete our nervous systems. It is no exaggeration to say that what goes into our ears can harm us or heal us.
In The Power of Sound, Joshua Leeds explores music and sound as nutrients for the nervous system, and the importance of healthy auditory function. He investigates how noise- or stress-induced auditory dysfunction may result in difficulties in learning, communication, and social interactions, and explains new techniques designed to invigorate auditory skills.
Includes 75-minute CD to enhance learning & wellness.

MUSIC/SOUND RECORDINGS for PEOPLE

Still Waters
Digital download, 1-hour, acoustic. Psychoacoustically re-arranged classical music at 50-70 beats per minutes, produced by Joshua Leeds.
The soft, sweet classical ensembles of Still Waters are the right combination for deep relaxation and stress reduction. By decreasing the tempo and simplifying the harmonic complexities, the heart rate naturally slows, and the mind unwinds. These soundtracks create a gentle haven free from stress and anxiety, while supporting autonomic balance.
At 50-70 beats per minute, the tempo is slow and easy, within the ideal range for a relaxed heart rate. The music on these recordings has been selected and/or re-arranged to create stress-free listening. Still Waters is effective for deep relaxation, slowing down, preparing for sleep, or anytime where a soothing environment is desired.

Finding Flow
Digital download, 1-hour, acoustic. Psychoacoustically re-arranged classical music at 60–80 beats per minute, produced by Joshua Leeds.
The music of Finding Flow provides gentle and measured stimulation for a fatigued nervous system. Piano solos and ensembles (piano, cello, oboe/English horn) offer the right balance of high and low frequencies conducive to increased wakefulness and focus.
Tempos are upbeat, but not too fast. Because these recordings contain many high frequencies, Finding Flow is effective for focus and concentration, mood enhancement, stress reduction, creative endeavors, and easy rejuvenation.

Full Stride
Digital download, 1-hour, acoustic. Psychoacoustically re-arranged classical music at 90–140 beats per minute, produced by Joshua Leeds.
Full Stride, volume three of the Essential Sound Series, is uptempo and playful auditory stimulation. Whimsical performances, foot-tapping tempos, surprising arrangements, and high-frequency instrumentation invite active listening. This is energizing music that supports resilience and autonomic balance – great for waking up, organizing, cleaning, cooking, and driving.
Full Stride is not intended for activities requiring cerebral focus, as the arrangements are too active and would be distracting (try Still Waters and Finding Flow for focused activities). At 90-140 beats per minute, Full Stride is designed to enliven and invigorate. Orchestration includes flute, oboe/English horn, cello, and piano.
