Healing Through Sound

When we think of healing, what generally comes to mind? Going to a doctor? Taking some proscribed medicine? Going in for surgury? How about psychotherapy for mental and emotional disturbances that afflict so many people nowadays?

More and more people are exploring alternative forms of healing. Chiropractic, acupuncture, massage, nutrition used to be very alternative forms of treatment, but they've become very routine these days. These are just a few examples. It is established fact that more than half of the U.S. population regularly sees these types of practitioners. Another complimentary alternative method of healing the body is through the use of sound.

Sound has been used for centuries to heal people. We all use it. Have you ever had a really bad day, and you turn on the radio or pop in your favorite CD, and you feel so much better after hearing a great song? Music has charms to soothe the savage beast, soften rocks, or bend knotted oak. Ever wonder why music, why sound, has that effect?

Sound healing is the practice of using sound to realize and correct imbalances in the body. All things will vibrate or resonate to certain frequencies, and of particular interest to us, our body. Ever get "good vibes" or "bad vibes" from someone? You're experiencing a frequency from that person that may or may not resonate with yours.

Sound healing works, because like all matter, the human body is not solid. It is energy held together by sound. If you see illness and dis-ease as indicating that part of our system has moved out of balance and is consequently vibrating at an "off" frequency, you may just change your approach to the kind of healing you seek.

Harmonious synchronization between our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies results in health. Probably the most direct and effective healing force for restoring harmony is through the experience of powerful resonant sounds.
