How Does Sound Therapy Work?

Studies conducted by sound therapies
have shown that certain sounds can slow
the breathing rate and create a feeling of
overall well-being. Sound can also
change the skin temperature, reduce
blood pressure and muscle tension, and
influence brain waver frequencies. Sound
travel from one source to another as
waves. Each sound has its own velocity
and intensity, a frequency, pitch and
wavelength.

The intensity of the vibration, or the
loudness of sound, ismeasured in units
called decibels. Although volume in a
factor, it is not necessary that one be
consciously aware of a sound for it to
have an effect because sound creates a
response in the entire body, not just the
ear. Resonance also has an effect on the
body, mind & spirit.

Sound is linked to the physical body by
the eighth and tenth cranial nerves.

These carry sound impulses through the
ear and skull to the brain.

Motor and sensory impulses are then
sent along the vagus nerve to the
throat, larynx, heart and diaphragm.

The human body also has its own
rhythmic patterns and there is growing
evidence that rhythms of the heart, the
brain, and other organs enjoy a special
synchronicity.

Disturbances in these rhythms can
create illness and disease.

Sound can also be used to help the body
regulate the hormone levels, helping to
control muscle spasms, reduce pain, and
reduce stress in heart patients.

Sound and music can evoke a range of
emotions from sadness to joy, and can
be used to moderate feelings of anger or
depression.

When sound is used with imagery and
visualization, moods and physical
sensations can change rapidly.

Combining music, sounds, imagery, and
breathing can bring about strong
emotional releases and also help to
connect with the unconscious mind.

testing procedures to check the status of
the organ meridian energy circuits and the
charkas which are directly over the main
nerve plexus points in the physical body.
