Sound Healing
The Ancient Medicine of the Future
“Sound is not only heard through our ears, but through every cell of our bodies, it is the most profoundest non-chemical medication”
What is Sound Healing?
Sound has been used for therapeutic healing dating back thousands of years when the Aboriginals used the didgeridoo to heal broken bones and illnesses. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia, China, and Malta also used sound to heal through various instruments, rooms, and caves. Sound is widely considered a balancing, healing, and unifying force dating back to the beginning of recorded history.
Do you ever notice how you feel when your favorite song comes on the radio or at the concert you’re attending? Pure bliss! Sound floods the brain with serotonin, the happy chemical, and simultaneously decreases our cortisol, the stress hormone. Perfect combination right?
Now, what if we take that combination and intentionally use sound as a form of healing? What if we allow sound to rebalance, recalibrate, and harmonize our nervous system? Our body is a living instrument, and needs tuning too. When we are out of tune and drop below our body’s healthy set point, this manifests as anxiety, depression, self-limiting beliefs, fear-based mentality, and even ailments within our physical body. For example, TMJ in the jaw or knots in our neck oftentimes are indicators of deeper emotional stress.
Sound Healing allows our body to return to its Home Frequency — our natural state of being — which believe it or not is when everything is working exactly deliciously as it should be. In our current world we are inundated with technology, fast-paced work culture, overflowing schedules, and not to mention a global pandemic… All of this stress, tension, and anxiety is being stored within our psyches and bodies. Basically, our nervous systems are freaking the f**k out!
But don’t worry, there is a solution.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
On an even more fundamental level, when we realize that everything, absolutely everything in the universe is simply energy, in a perpetual state of vibration, with a particular frequency, we can begin to reset ourselves from this foundational place of being and return to a state of HOMEostasis.
Simply put, we are vibration, and by incorporating sound healing and vibrational medicine into our daily lives we reclaim control of our mental and bodily health.
