By Dr. Alina Reuter, Neuropsychologist and Somatic Therapy Specialist
In recent years, the scientific community has shown a growing interest in integrative and non-pharmacological approaches to health and well-being. Against this backdrop, Elina Geiman’s book on sound healing emerges as a timely and significant contribution. This is not merely a popular wellness manual—it is a multidisciplinary study that weaves together elements of neuroscience, psychology, nutrition, history, and embodied practice. The book is both informative and inspiring, written by a practitioner whose insights are deeply rooted in experience, sensitivity, and respect for the human system.
What Is the Book About?
The structure of the book is clear and methodical. In the opening chapters, Elina shares her personal journey, which led her to the profound realization of the power of the voice. She describes how her exploration began with breathing techniques and vocal training, and evolved into a deep understanding that the voice is not just a means of communication—it is a mirror of the psyche, an energetic tool, and a signal of physical health. Her path includes studies in nutrition, coaching, psychology, and vocal dynamics—all of which are integrated into a holistic practice model, presented in the second part of the book.
The Core Message: We Are Vibration
One of the central scientific premises of the book is that everything in the universe—including the human body—is made of vibration. This idea, supported by both quantum physics and bioresonance medicine, forms the foundation of Elina’s approach. She emphasizes that the human body, composed of 60–70% water, is particularly sensitive to sound waves. The book references the research of Masaru Emoto, whose experiments demonstrated that the molecular structure of water changes when exposed to positive or negative sounds, words, or intentions. If the body is a moving reservoir of water, then sound quite literally has the capacity to restructure us from within.
This concept aligns with current scientific findings. Neuroimaging studies (fMRI, EEG) show that sound can affect cortical activity, lower cortisol levels, regulate heart rate, and improve heart rate variability (HRV)—a crucial biomarker for stress resilience.
Practical Value
What makes the book especially powerful is its hands-on utility. Elina offers a wide range of exercises using breath, voice, and movement that aim to:
- reduce anxiety;
- improve focus;
- release vocal and emotional tension;
- activate the parasympathetic nervous system;
- restore mind-body awareness through sound.
One of the book’s most impressive features is the creation of personalized mantras—not religious chants, but vibrationally tuned vocal formulas designed according to a person’s energy, breath, and state of mind. These mantras are supported by nutritional and psychological strategies, forming a multidimensional wellness approach.
Voice and the Psyche
An essential section of the book explores the connection between the voice and the human psyche. Elina astutely observes that the voice is one of the earliest and most persistent channels of emotional expression. Even in silence, we sound: in our intonation, pacing, whispers, or stifled cries. The book explains how internal psychological blocks manifest in vocal tone—fear may create a high, strained voice; suppressed anger may produce a dull, heavy one. Elina introduces techniques of gentle vocal decompression, allowing emotions to be released safely and without retraumatization.
Her method aligns with principles of somatic psychology and trauma therapy, including the work of Peter Levine and Stephen Porges. In her model, sound becomes both stimulus and remedy—a carrier of emotional information and a pathway to regulation.
Scientific Grounding
The book is deeply compatible with contemporary neuroscience and cognitive science. Elina:
- explains the entrainment effect (synchronization of brain waves to external rhythm);
- describes the healing influence of certain frequencies (e.g. 528 Hz);
- addresses the vagus nerve’s role in emotional and physiological self-regulation;
- discusses binaural beats and their proven applications in sleep, concentration, and pain management.
Notably, Elina steers clear of pseudoscience. She makes no magical claims. Instead, she offers grounded, repeatable practices that rely on consistent engagement and structured learning. Her central argument is that the body can learn to sound differently—and in doing so, to live differently.
Final Thoughts
Elina Geiman’s book is more than an introduction to sound healing. It is a manifesto of reconnection: to one’s voice, vibration, and inner nature. It is a scientific, artistic, and deeply human text that brings together medicine, embodiment, sound, and personal growth in one compelling vision.
If 21st-century science teaches us to view the human being as a complex, interconnected network of mind, body, and environment, then this book is a living example of how sound can become one of the most powerful therapeutic tools of our time.
By restoring our ability to listen—to sound, to silence, and to our own voice—Elina offers a way home to the self. And perhaps this, in the end, is what real healing sounds like.
