In ancient China, specific sounds were combined with channel points for certain therapeutic treatments. Centuries later, accomplished clinicians such as Yoshio Manaka explored the clinical possibilities of using tone and point combination treatments. Drawing on backgrounds in music and in both Japanese-style five-phase therapy and Chinese-style TCM, as well as on the work of predecessors, the authors pay homage to ancient knowledge and present their own innovative healing modality that uses pure sound to harmonize the meridians and invigorate the body's energy. This modality is based on the true Chinese pentatonic and chromatic scales. The tools required are simple, the knowledge base required is a foundation in acupuncture or Eastern bodywork. Health care professionals will greatly appreciate this application of tones to systematic diagnosis and treatment protocols for both five-phase and twelve-channel therapies. This modality can enhance treatment options and contribute to the healing of patients.
