What is Sound Healing?
Sound Healing is a therapy which uses
vibration in a profound and trans- formative way to create positive change
within the body, to improve the quality of life and to promote physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Why Sound as a Healing Method?
Sound is a creative and healing force. Sound is
the meeting place of the abstract (thought) and manifested ideas (
physical reality). Sound can penetrate any substance, move molecules and
rearrange realities. Sound can reach areas where hands and words can not
go. Sound can flow through the entire body cleansing and clearing unwanted
energy or blockages and replenishing it with a feeling of wholeness,
balance, aliveness and vitality.
How long has Sound Healing been around?
Sound Healing is an ancient art form. Cultures
have used Sound throughout history as a powerful healing tool and it is
considered to be one of the first healing modalities. Sound Healing was
used by the people of Egypt, Persia, China, Greece. And continues to be
used by cultures and tribes though out the world such as the Native
American Indians, the Aborigines of Australia, Monks in Tibet.
Sound in medicine.
Ultrasound, bio-feedback, radionics all work on
the premise of using frequency or wave formations to affect and change
matter. Sound is an energy which takes the form of wave patterns. These
waves can be scientifically measured in units called hertz (hz) which
measure the cycles per second which the energy creates. Anything that
vibrates create harmonics. High frequency harmonics have a neuro-physiological
effect which changes the brain. Vocal harmonics can create changes in the
heartbeat, respiration and brainwaves. Portions of the brain when
resonated and activated by sounds can release different hormones and
chemicals. Sound can stimulate healthy cell growth.
Why does Sound Healing work?
Everything in the universe vibrates at a specific
frequency. Everything surrounding us is in constant motion and our bodies
are in constant flow. Every part of our body, every organ, muscle, tissue
and bone vibrates at a particular frequency. When we are in harmony
everything runs smoothly, we feel healthy, energized, free of pain or
discomfort and experience life in a positive way. Stress, pain, anger,
grief, quilt, shame, sadness and fears cause an imbalance to our natural
state of harmony. Our bodies react and we become ill, starting at a level
we are often unaware of …disease occurs until we are brought back into
balance. Sound restores balance when parts of our body are out of tune.
When our car is running rough we take it in for a tune-up. When a musical
instrument is off key we have it tuned. Sound Healing helps to keep our
body in tune.
