What Is Sound Therapy?
|
|
|
|
Sound Therapy is a powerful healing force used in many cultures
throughout the globe, for thousands of years, and still
today. Shaman have always used music and sound in their
healing ceremonies in order to bridge this world with the other
world...... In some hospitals today harp music is
played for premature babies, as well as to comfort the dying and
ease their pain. Specific music calms us, centers us and
relieves our stress.

|
|
Everything in the universe vibrates, each at its
own specific, natural frequecy - including us. Every system in our body
has it's own cycle, rhythm, and pulse. An imbalance, or
dis-harmony, in these cycles can manifest as mental, physical or
emotional imbalances, or disease.
|
|
|
|
Every cell in our body acts as a sound resonator, and our body is
made up of at least 70% water. Because of this our bodies
are an excellent conductor of sound vibrations, making Sound
Therapy a very effective method of healing. A valuable
adjunct to Acupuncture treatment, or any other form of treatment.
|
|
|
|
Healing vibrations stimulate and balance the body's subtle
Meridian and Chakra systems, reconnecting us with the natural
rhythms, and balancing our mind, body and spirit. This is
often done quite naturally without our even thinking about it ....
while at the beach listening to the waves crash upon the shore
.... listening to the birds in the early morning hours ....
listening to wind through the trees.... or listening to the
crackling sounds of fire. All of these
sounds are natural and healing vibrations which can relax our
minds and allow our body to respond in healthy ways, such as
lowering our
heart rate and blood pressure, decrease muscle tension, smoothing
our respiration, etc...

Sound Healing treatments may be combined with Acupuncture
treatment or performed alone. Sound Healing is completely
painless and non-invasive. Treatments tools include tuning
forks, singing bowls, Tibetan bell, symphonic gonging, and/or
drumming.
|

|
Precision Calibrated Tuning Forks are applied to specific
points along side, or in place of, acupuncture needles.
Specific frequencies are used in order to influence the body in
the desired manner: to relax, to stimulate, to balance, etc.
Another set of tuning forks that I use is played above the body,
within the person's energy field. This set is more audible
and the sounds are very pleasing and relaxing to the patient.

|
|
Singing Bowls are gonged on the abdomen or on the
back. This creates audible sound as well as direct vibration
on the body. It is very relaxing yet invigorating.
|
|
|
|
A Tibetan Bell is gonged above the singing bowls, to create
an audible layered effect of harmonics. Creating harmonics
is very essential to affecting mood, and is also very relaxing and
invigorating.
|
|
|
|
Probably the most relaxing and invigorating is listening to the
Symphonic Gonging, which I generally do at the very beginning or
ending of a session with some creative visualization work.
It allows for deep relaxation and meditation. The vibration
is actually felt by many patients in addition to hearing the
amazingly beautiful range of harmonics created by the gongs.

|
|
Drumming is upon request for people interested in doing
some meditative journey work during their Acupuncture or Sound
Therapy treatment.
