what is sound therapy ?
“Nada Brahma” is Sanskrit for “All is Vibration”. In many spiritual traditions, sound established the form of the universe. “In the Beginning” a word was spoken, a song was sung, and the universe appeared. The ancients were well aware of the nature of sound, and used it to heal and raise consciousness. Now, new physics assures us literally that “all is vibration”. The ancient wisdom prevails.
Sound has been used as a healing force for thousands of years. The ancient greeks believed that song was a “physician for pain.” The use of sound as a therapeutic tool involves various applications of sound frequencies to pentrate the body/mind in a non-invasive manner to assist an individual with the goal of achieving a state of harmony, health and over sense of well being.
Every organ, bone, and virtually every “cell” in the human body vibrates at its own resonant frequency. Together, they make up a composite frequency not unlike that of a sympony orchestra. When an organ in the body is out of tune, it can affect the health of the entire body.
Since the body always seeks the most efficient vibration, it takes far less energy to vibrate at the correct frequency than the incorrect one. After the utilization of sound therapy, most people report a feeling of total relaxation and improvement of overall function, balance and well-being in the body.
WHO USES SOUND THERAPY ?
The medical community uses sound and music in a variety of applications such as: during surgery to relieve pain; to break up gallstones and to relax muscles using ultrasound. Many doctors are now finding the resonant frequencies of organs in order to return their vibration to a normal healthy state. Perhaps most exciting is cutting-edge research which shows how sound might be used to fight dis-eases such as cancer, by helping to restore tissues to a healthy state of being.
- The mental health community is studying the psychological and physiological effects of music and sound.
- Musicians and songwriters are creating application-specific audio programs for pain control, neurodevelopmental remediation, relaxation and stress relief, meditation, sleep, accelerated learning, and numerous spiritual avenues.
- Educators are exploring courses in Musical Thanatology, Tomitis Sound Stimulation Therapies, Biotuning, Acutonics, Cross-cultural Healing Techniques and Rhythmic Entertainment.
