Finding A Therapeutic Sound Project

By Jaclyn Hurley


A therapeutic sound project is being conducted in many cities in the US and other countries. This bio-feedback method uses sound, or more precisely frequency or vibration, to restore balance to the human system and thereby influence health on many levels. This alternative therapy offers help without pharmaceutical drugs, invasive surgeries, or drastic psychiatric treatments like electrical shock.

Medical research has shown how effective a positive attitude is toward maintaining health. It's been demonstrated that laughter is a wonderful stress reliever and mood changer. The emotional state of a person often dictates how well they will recover from a trauma or illness.

The philosophy of this discipline states that all matter has resonance. Since atoms are in constant motion, core vibrations affect the whole system. Bio-feedback research tracks brain waves, muscle reactions, hormonal release (like adrenaline and cortisol, which increase inner tension), voice patterns, pulse rates, and other physical or mental reactions to external stimuli.

This is a fascinating subject and one which seems to be validated by common sense and personal experience. Almost everyone will have, at some time, been uplifted by a lively tune or soothed by a lullaby. People naturally want to move to a strong beat, dancing or tapping their feet or fingers in time. These responses, as well as a dislike of angry voices or jumping at sudden explosions, show how sound and vibration can affect people mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Conditions that respond to this form of therapy include mood disorders. Adolescents often become 'moody' under the stresses of the many demands society places on them. Millions of people of all ages suffer from depression, which robs life of meaning and happiness. It's been proved that being depressed is bad for total health. Stroke victims or paralytics often fail to improve when they are really only emotionally crippled.

It is common for a person who does not socialize well to find that playing a musical instrument offers both engagement and an outlet for deep emotions. Others may find release in dance or movement, in singing, in chanting, or in relaxation therapy. The elderly respond so well to music that this therapy is now often covered by insurance plans.

Music therapy is only one way to use resonance and response. Chanting, singing, dancing, and exposure to low-frequency vibrations have benefits. There are all sorts of applications for resonance, from diagnosis to treatment. Therapists work from the viewpoint that each individual has a unique frequency, so programs must be tailored to precise needs and goals.

When looking for a project in your city, do a general search online. You'll find background information to help you select a therapist for yourself or a family member. Evaluate alternative practitioners like you would medical doctors, checking references and credentials. There are different levels of therapy, from basic things like dance classes or guitar lessons to intense sessions with a bio-feedback technician.
