Sound Healing Will Be The Medicine Of The Future!


What is sound?

The power of sound has been an integral part of human civilization for thousands of years. We live in a vibratory universe where there is no such thing as Matter. Everything we sense and feel, see and touch is pure energy. This is of accordance to the Law of Creation.

Mark my words,  sound therapy is going to be the next big thing in the future.

Though it’s been known as a powerful healing practice throughout the world for centuries, Western medicine has long considered it to be “fringe.”

That is, until now…

Sound therapy can appear a little weird to some people.

To some individuals, sound therapy can be perceived as 'hype-y' or a little 'out-there'...

After all, some of the methods sound is used are out of the ordinary...

Take sound baths, for instance…

Participants lay on the floor and the facilitator rub a mallet inside bowls of varying sizes to make sounds. Occasionally, the facilitator will bang a gong or play an exotic-looking instrument. And sometimes, they’ll hover over participants, striking instruments right over their heads. 

It may seem odd to some people who are unfamiliar with this practice.

But the benefits to this are immense and there are plenty of research to support the effects and benefits.

There are a plethora of knowledge regarding sound healing’s history, the science behind how it works, and all of the peer-reviewed research demonstrating its effectiveness.

And, time and time again—after learning how sound works and what it can do for them—I’ve seen even the most steadfast skeptics become the most vocal advocates.

How Sound Can Activate Your Body's Self-Healing Process

Sound is the conduit that puts your body in its optimal state to allow healing.

You can do this by either using:

  1. Passive sound therapy (like sound baths or listening to music/nature sounds), which activates your parasympathetic nervous system, making your body calm and relaxed.
  2. Active sound therapy (like singing, humming, or chanting), which utilizes the sound of your own voice to stimulate the vagus nerve¾the longest nerve of the body. When activated, it can promote your body’s natural healing abilities.

Both of these sound healing approaches work in a multitude of ways to speed up healing, ease chronic stress, boost mood, or clear the mind… just to name a few.

It’s only a matter of time until more and more people discover how sound can help them activate their built-in healing systems.

Remember, you were born with regenerative abilities!

And I’ve made it my mission to educate people about this simple, yet little-known fact.

If you’ve already experienced the life-changing power of sound, I’d love to hear about how it’s helped you. And if you’ve been spreading the word about sound healing, thank you!

How To Effortlessly Kick-start and Improve Your Day With Sound!

Sound affects us humans in many ways and hearing is a universal sense amongst all vertebrates on the planet. The reason for this is one of survival. We are programmed to react to sudden sounds by producing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline because a sudden, startling sound very often means potential danger. Our rational mind may be fully aware that the harsh sound of breaking crockery poses no danger to us. That does not stop our bodies from reacting as if we are under attack. Our heart rate increases and we often cry out in alarm. And speaking of alarm…

Mornings

If you have a traditional beeping or ringing alarm clock, change it! The way we wake up can have a significant impact on our mood, productivity levels and decision making abilities for up to four hours after we rise. Being awoken by a strident sound will not improve your mental alertness, in fact it may well do the opposite and leave you feeling panicky and disorientated. An effortless way to get your day off to a wonder start is to invest in a new alarm call. Waking to the soothing sounds of birdsong or running water allows your body and mind to begin the adjustments needed to transition from sleep to wakefulness. A gentle, rhythmic melody that gradually increases in volume will allow you to wake up more naturally, helping you to feel good right from the start.

The second thing to do in order to give yourself the best start to the day is to avoid listening to any news or current affairs programs until you are fully prepared for the day. Take a shower, dress and eat breakfast to the accompaniment of music or other recorded sounds such as Singing Bowls or chanting rather than the daily news bulletin.

Ready to Go

Once you have woken fully and are ready to start work, or to get on with your daily routine you can use sound in a variety of ways to help you to continue to feel good and to bring you all sorts of benefits. Sound therapy is excellent for reducing stress, whether this is a session with a professional or simply using music and ear phones to help you to relax at different times during the day. Many people find that taking just 10 minutes out of a chaotic or extremely busy day to simply listen to some calming sounds, music or spoken meditation for example, can really help them to avoid the feeling of burn out that occurs when we push ourselves to the limit. Perhaps less well known, however, is the fact that sound can actually give you extra energy in a completely natural way. Use music or the deep resonance of gongs and singing bowls to send the resonances through your body until you can actually feel the vibrations. You may be surprised at how much more awake and energized you feel just through doing this.

Make Better Decisions

Sound can help to sharpen our mental faculties as well as giving our physical bodies an energy boost. White noise helps to still the constant chatter of an over active mind and helps to break the cycle of circular thinking. Soothing, calming sounds such as gentle music or sounds of the natural world can also help to sharpen your focus and to filter out distracting or irrelevant thoughts and information. Regular practice with this kind of meditation very quickly brings results that last , and if you make a point of taking just a few minutes to still your mind before making important decisions you can save yourself a lot of potential trouble further down the line...

Tap Into An Endless Supply of Energy

Personally, I prefer to do my afternoon vagal exercises while listening to music. It gives both my mood and my energy levels the mid-day pick-me-up I need. So before you grab that second or third cup of coffee, you might just want to turn up the tunes.

But don’t just take it from me. Here’s what the science has to say about the energizing powers of music:

In 2007, a group of researchers from the University of Toronto found that listening to up-tempo music boosts mental processing speed and improves cognitive performance.

And a 2018 study from the American College of Cardiology discovered that up-tempo music provides motivation while you exercise (yes, please!) and helps you increase the length of your workout—providing you with even more energy for your day.
