Sound Therapy Has Been Around For Centuries

In the ancient civilizations of India, the Orient, Africa, Europe, and among the Aboriginals and Native American Indians, the practice of using sound to heal and achieve balance has existed for many years. The Tibetans still use bells, chimes, bowls, and chanting as the foundation of their spiritual practice. The Australian Aboriginals and Native American Shamanists use vocal toning and repetitive sound vibration with instruments created from nature in sacred ceremony to adjust any imbalance of the spirit, emotions, or physical being.

Many claim that healing through sound was used in ancient times by the priests of ancient Egypt and also in Atlantis. This ancient wisdom has emerged to heal and uplift the consciousness of the universe through pure crystal tone. The American psychic, Edgar Cayce, and German philosopher, educator and artistic genius Rudolf Steiner, both predicted that pure tones would be used for healing before the end of the 20th century. Nostradamus fortold the healing of cancer through pure tone by 1998.

Mitchell L. Gaynor, M.D., Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center (affiliated with New York Hospital), has already been working with his patients for several years using quartz crystal bowls to help them in their healing process. In his book, Sounds of Healing: A Physician Reveals the Therapeutic Power of Sound, Voice, and Music, published in 1999, he writes:

" My patients' as well as my own experiences with quartz crystal bowls strongly support the hypothesis that the overtones they produce have resonant and healing properties unlike anything we have encountered. The bowls emit tones that resonate with the human voice. The sounds permeate our systems, resonating with our essence, so that inner chaos, conflict, and dissonance seem almost immediately to be transformed into harmony".
