On Writing “The Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing” by Githa Ben-David

“The Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing” is a trilogy of my three first books written in Danish about vocal sound healing. It includes my first book – “The Note from Heaven”, which was published in Danish in 2002, “Regressive Cell-singing” 2007 and “Vocal Sound Healing” in 2012. All three books are classics and are still selling in Denmark today. 

At the age of 25, I was a classical trained musician and composer, and all I wished for was to continue with my musical career. During a two-month vacation from the Royal Danish Conservatory of Copenhagen, I studied classical North Indian Khyal singing in Varanasi India just for fun. Mangala Tiwari, my Indian teacher told me to sing my ground note on an open “Aar” for a minimum of an hour a day, and I experienced entering a timeless state of mind, that I chose to call: “The Note from Heaven”. The reason was, that I was embraced by a field of energy full of overtones when I surrendered to my sound from a full breath deep down from the bottom of my abdomen.

The sound truly did not feel like it was my voice. It was totally effortlessly vibrating from above and down into my open mouth. Since I am grown up in an atheistic family, I did not think about the experience as spiritual but was surprised by the development it started in me. It felt like I came home, and my intuition started opening up. I could hear energy in musical expressions and saw colors.

After this experience of bliss, it was hard to leave it behind. All I wished for was to sit and sing “Aaar” for hours. Not really anything I could use for a living.

The experience would not leave me over the next many years, so I decided to write a book about it in order to get over with and go on with my musical career. When I started writing I felt electrical sensations around my head and got really inspired. So inspired that my husband got offended about my dedicated writing. Then I started writing early mornings from 4 -7 Am when my son and husband were still asleep. Through the writing, I got captured by an increased feeling of having found my path. 

Later on, an English medium told me that my task of exploring the healing properties of vocal sound on Earth was of huge importance to the spiritual world. I chose to forget about these messages, but since healings happened (several deaf people regained normal hearing), when I found the resonance in people, healings that I did not understand how I could be a part of, I started to accept the fact that spirit seemed to find me “good enough” for the work. Even in my dreams at night I got information.

When you as a woman are lit by a burning inspiration– in my case through a spiritual calling to serve through vocal sound work on Earth – it will always create a paradox: In the Oneness level you wish to serve the higher powers from all your heart and in the duality, there is your close family who deserves your full heart presence too. 

Many people including your family think you are crazy if you talk about your spiritual connection, so it’s better to stay grounded and be humble. We are nothing without the help of the higher powers. Nothing!

The problem for me has been, that writing a book (I have written 8 books) is like a love affair. It will always have an impact on your family because you have to divide your attention into two parts. The book is in your mind all the time and you just wish to write. I decided that if my husband could not cope with me, following my dedication, then there was nothing to do about it. I divided my time and got a rhythm of writing whenever I could feel free to do so. You cannot stop the current of a river. I am on fire surrendering to the moment, when I am writing, sound healing, leading my International Education and or making music. 

I got divorced after 15 years of marriage, recorded a new CD, and wrote my second book as a single mother with two sons. 

Then my new husband who is a writer came into my life. We have inspired each other for fifteen years now. He is a great artist and has a much stronger public drive, than I have. There is in me a natural wish to just hide, when extraordinary healings happen. Maybe because so many wise witches have been burned. The cocktail of surrendering to higher powers and the missing ability to control this on a personal level is frightening for many people including my close family.

For me, it is the most beautiful wonder. Only the awareness of our spiritual connection can save this world. The spontaneous healing, the self-healing you can do by surrendering to your full breath through your voice, is first of all a tool to open your awareness for your breath which is the bridge to spirit. My latest husband, Lars Muhl, suggested I publish my trilogy in English. I would never have come to do so on my own, so I am very grateful to him for his support.

The Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing

The concept of The Ultimate Book on Vocal Sound Healing is The Note from Heaven – a condition of bliss, where time disappears and the voice seems to sing you, rather than you sing the voice.

The experience of surrendering to The Note from Heaven is overwhelming and leads the singer into a state of Oneness, where present, past and future merge together and energetic patterns and traumas can be transformed and profound healings happen.

Book I: The Note from Heaven – How to sing yourself into contact with Oneness.
Book II: Regressive Cell-Singing – How to sing yourself free of traumas and change emotional programming.
Book III: Sound Healing – How to sound-scan a fellow being with your voice, plus a Q&A with members from the White Brotherhood.
