Sound Healing

Sound health work is now becoming more and more accepted in the mainstream. There are two distinct areas:

 

1) Sound and music for meditation, relaxation, learning, and productivity;

 

2) The use of sound for medical uses.

 

Clinics and Complementary Healing Centers: Very specific utilizations of music are now being used in integrative and complementary healing centers, including: * Office and treatment room ambiance * Relaxation techniques, stress reduction, auditory biofeedback * Pain control * Reduction of anesthesia and medications * Correction of auditory tonal processing difficulties * Abatement of hearing sensitivities * Correction of learning disabilities * Birthing assistance * Musical thanatology - music to help with dying

 

Using Music for Healing, Therapy, and Expansion of Consciousness: Music has been used for years to simply help relax people and put them in a better state of mind. It has been proven that when someone releases tension and relaxes, their immune system benefits. Application-specific audio includes pain control, neurodevelopmental remediation, relaxation and stress relief, meditation, sleep, accelerated learning, enhanced productivity, consciousness-raising, and connecting to spirit. There are also a growing number of musicians that take Psychoacoustics into consideration when producing commercial albums.

 

Binaural Beat Brainwave Entrainment: Binaural beats are created when two tones are detuned from each other by a small amount. The resulting third oscillation, which is the difference between the two frequencies, will automatically entrain the brain into different brainwave frequencies - delta, theta, alpha, beta, etc. This technique is used to help with sleep, pain, anxiety, stress, grief, depression, learning, increased healing, reaching other states of consciousness, and much much more.

​

Pain Alleviation: Music is also being used to help with the alleviation of pain. There are many surgeons who now use sound therapy before, during, and after surgery. It has been shown to substantially reduce the amount of anesthesia that is required and pain medication afterward. In a similar light, sound is also used to aid in both the birthing and dying processes. There are numerous tapes and CDs that have come out for making the birthing process smoother. As well, there are centers, such as Chalice of Repose, that use sound and music as an aid to a beautiful death.

 

Frequencies in Us: There are many people who believe that we have a fundamental root sound and if we get in touch with that frequency, we get more in touch with ourselves. The same types of people also often believe that the earth also has its own frequency that is good to get in tune with. Some take this idea into more detail by mapping out the frequency of each Chakra or each Sepherod within the Kaballah’s tree of life. There is also a wide range of individuals who use sounds on acupuncture and acupressure points. Some people actually will sing into Chakras or acupressure points. More popular is the use of tuning forks or other electronic sounds that are applied to specific points on the body. Some practitioners believe that the resonant frequencies of crystals are even more powerful when applied to the body.

 

Chanting and Toning: Another more common technique is to teach people to resonate their bodies with their own voices. Chanting, toning, and humming are techniques for vibrating different areas of the body through voice. Chanting, toning, singing, and intentional humming enhance nitric oxide (NO) production through active acoustic stimulation of the nasal cavities and lungs resulting in a broad range of health benefits. Nitric oxide production is essential for overall health because it allows blood, nutrients, and oxygen to travel to every part of your body effectively and efficiently. Chanting, toning, and humming also stimulate the Vagus nerve which regulates internal organ functions, including digestion, heart rate, and respiratory rate, as well as promoting vasomotor activity and anti-inflammatory effects. One can also release anger, fear, pain, frustration, sadness, grief, and much more with toning, chanting and humming. These techniques will also increase your lung capacity, increase circulation, and change your state of consciousness.

​

VibroAcoustics: Probably one of the largest areas of interest is that of Vibroacoustics. This is the application of sound to the body through special sound transmission devices such as sound beds, chairs, lounges, and sound massage tables.

​

The basis of all sound healing therapy is creating Consistent, Stable Vibrations/Frequencies to overcome Chaotic Vibrations physically, mentally, and emotionally (Cellular and Brainwave Entrainment.)   When smooth consistent frequencies and music are played through the memory foam bed speakers (transducers), they are not only heard through the ear but also delivered in stereo massaging waves directly to the body vibrating every part inside and out: cells, muscles, tendons, organs, nerves, spinal cord, areas of the brain, brainstem, and more. All this while life-transforming music plays into your ears and brain creating profound blissful states. It all contributes to homeostasis — physically, mentally, emotionally, and even Spiritually. The experience can only be described as multi-dimensional. You must experience it to appreciate it!

It has been called "Sound Healing on Steroids." It takes Sound Therapy to the next level! 

 

Sound for the Alleviation of Learning Disabilities: Sound is currently being used to help correct certain learning disabilities in children. There are numerous clinics across the world that are using the research of Dr. Tomatis to stimulate the brain and nervous system. For example, The Listening Program uses his technique whereby low frequencies are increasingly rolled off in classical music until only the high frequencies are left. Then all the frequencies are rolled back in until the full audio spectrum is again present. It has been proven that using this technique over a few weeks significantly aids in the reduction of learning disabilities.

 

Medical Uses of Sound: There exists a wide range of techniques that range from simple sound massage to what is termed “sound surgery” where sound is utilized inside the body. This includes placing highly precise tones within specific organs. Of course, ultrasound has been used for years to break up kidney stones or plaque on our teeth. This type of sound application is also being explored on other diseases such as cancer. Fabian Maman shows cancer being broken up with sound in one of his books. One of David Gibson’s, Sound and Consciousness Institute instructors, used sound to completely get rid of a large breast cancer tumor. The tumor has now been gone for over five years.

 

Using sound to destroy diseases is an aggressive form of sound surgery. Sound is now being used more and more to help restore tissues to a healthy state of being by resonating the frequency of healthy tissues. Doctors have now figured out the resonant frequency of healthy organs. By applying the correct frequency to a diseased organ, the organ is entrained into a healthy state of vibration. Sound can also be used to massage organs. For example, when the heart has a disease it is known to “freeze up” and not move freely within its own sac. Applying sound to the heart at the right frequency massages the heart, loosening it up so that it can move more freely.
