I was looking through some old articles that I had written ‘years ago’ and came across this one on Sound therapy that I thought was worth a re-share. I wrote the original on August 1^st 2008 so just over 9 years ago and 9 years down the track and my knowledge and belief in the use of sound and especially Vibrational sound is even stronger than it was ‘way back then’.

One of my favourite sounds from the Sounds from Source range of Vibrational sounds that I have been creating since 2004 is sound No 69 Flexibility which uses frequency wellness technology to improve your physical flexibility and which can also be of assistance with ‘mental flexibility’.

Many people have commented that it seems odd or strange when you first hear of “sound therapy” and especially Vibrational sound therapy, as if it is something unusual and in some instances ‘out there’.

The effects of sound are apparent in our every day life… for example, consider music we experience music from the soft tones of a Brahms lullaby to the energizing or hyper sensations when we hear music with a heavy beat.

Think of the last time you heard a favourite dance hit and couldn’t help but to start dancing along.

The human body react differently to musical sounds, when tested Kinesiologically an outstretch arm will stay strong or exhibit a positive response to a light and gentle music, the strength in the arm becomes progressively weaker as the beat and tone become faster and louder. One of the weakest responses is the type of music known as ‘Heavy Metal’

The Bulgarian Psychiatrist, Gorgi Lazanoff was able to show an increased capacity for learning, superlearning if you will, by playing Baroque music (1700’s Bach, Vivaldi, Telemon, Handle) and having his students breathe in rhythm with the beat. It is interesting to note that sound and music can have a profound effect on our health, and well being, not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally as well.

Sound energy therapy, sometimes referred to as vibrational or frequency therapy, includes music therapy as well as wind chime and tuning fork therapy.

The presumptive basis of its effect is that specific sound frequencies resonate with specific organs of the body to heal and support the body. Music therapy has been the most studied among these interventions, with studies dating back to the 1920s, when it was reported that music affected blood pressure. Other studies have suggested that music can help reduce pain and anxiety.

Music and imagery, alone and in combination, have been used to entrain mood states, reduce acute or chronic pain, and alter certain biochemicals, such as plasma beta-endorphin levels. These uses of energy fields truly overlap with the domain of mind-body medicine therapy and various other energy medicine techniques that alter the frequency patterns of an individual.

In the growing awareness and study of the fields of “energy medicine” it is well known that our universe is created through patterns of frequency. Science is now documenting what mystics of many traditions have known forever. Everything that exists in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms does so on a vibratory basis. This is obvious if you consider that electrons are always moving and vibrating.

Quantum Physics speaks to us of Morphogenic resonance, and much is written of resonant waves which may either enhance or dissipate one another as they cross  over.

All healing interventions must influence the body by somehow altering in some way its frequency and resonance. Healing has often been affected by such modalities as sound, light, music therapy and various other energy medicine techniques that alter the frequency patterns of an individual.

In the words of in Jocelyn Godwin, ed., Cosmic Music, Inner Traditions, Rochester, Vermont 1989

“Research has shown that when we are deprived of certain light frequencies we can become sick. One of the most fascinating scientific facts to emerge recently is that sound behaves in a similar fashion to light. In other words, sound and light act like vitamins and minerals in our body. Most people are deficient in certain tones and this is traced when the human voice is recorded and monitored. We need a certain balance of sound frequencies, which may vary from one individual to another, in order to maintain our bodies in a healthy state.

Recent experiments indicate that one of the most powerful ways to heal the individual is to play back the missing frequencies at a low octave which corresponds to brain wave frequencies. What happens here is quite remarkable and really beautiful. The body is simply helped to heal itself by activating the control center in the brain that looks after this healing.”
