Jonathan Goldman’s Healing Sounds Presents:
THE DIVINE NAME Frequency Shifting
for Tumultous Times A week-end of Vibrational Activation
Jonathan Goldman & Andi Goldman
During his 30 years in the field of sound healing, Internationally Acclaimed
Teacher, Author, Chant Master and Healing Sounds pioneer Jonathan Goldman made an incredible
discovery. The Divine Name, a universal sound, that, when
intoned, can bring harmony and healing to ourselves and to the planet. This sacred name,
encoded within our DNA,
is the personal name of God, once found in the religious texts that link over half the world’s
population. Prohibited and then lost for nearly 2,500 years, The
Divine Name is available once again. It is a sound that when vocalized has the
ability to resonate both the physical body and subtle energy fields of anyone who
intones it—irrespective of religion, tradition, or belief. It has the power to issue in a
new era of human consciousness, uniting us in healing, peace, and oneness.
