QiHarmony: Ancient Chinese Sonic Philosophy and Practice (TCM Sound Healing) Hardcover – September 22, 2025

QiHarmony — Ancient Chinese Sonic Philosophy and Practice is a clear, contemporary guide to the classical Chinese view of sound—how resonance orders breath, steadies emotion, and helps life move with less cost.Drawing on the Yue Ji (Record of Music), the Huangdi Neijing, Daoist materials, and ritual notes, Woodie Wulin distills a working grammar of sound for modern readers. Rather than chasing spectacle or numbers, the book favors proportion, timing, and fit—what the ancients called “great sound is rarely heard.”Inside you’ll find:Foundations: the pre-cosmic logic of sound; why order precedes event.Core measures that keep practice honest—closure, headroom, distribution, recovery, transfer.Yin–yang and Five-Element bearings mapped to the five tones (gong, shang, jue, zhi, yu).How rooms, weather, and season shape results; why silence does half the work.Applications read from the classics: breath and field regulation, quiet instrumentation (qin, gongs, qing, bells), and sonopuncture principles along meridians and points.Who it’s for: sound practitioners, TCM and qigong students, meditation and yoga teachers, musicians, somatic therapists, and anyone curious about a rigorous, non-mystical language for resonance.Readable in any order yet grounded by a single temperament—measure before force, sincerity before flourish—this book returns sound work to ordinary proofs: steadier breath, kinder edges, sleep that arrives cleanly, and rooms that arrange themselves without strain.Great sound need not raise its voice.
