Sound Therapy: a gift of resonance
The base of sound therapy is the use of therapeutical instruments (gongs, bowls, tuning forks etc) and sound vibrations to induce deep states of relaxation, pain relief, accelerated recovery and mental tranquility among many other great benefits.
With this treatment you will receive both, a sonic audible experience and a vibrational massage as the singing bowls used produce a series of harmonic vibrations that penetrate deeply into all organs, systems, tissues, bones, ligaments of the body.
The physical sensations receiving this sound massage are pleasurable, causing a profound relief as the body relaxes in depth during the session. The emotional side also receives soothing sound nourishment calming and balancing the emotions and allowing the person to center herself in her true nature. Mentally we receives a profound balm calming the overactive mind and allowing it to rest in the safe and secure space created by these coherent sounds.

“Pain is a message to the mind that something is wrong,”
Chronic pain is often defined as any pain lasting more than 12 weeks. Whereas acute pain is a normal sensation that alerts us to possible injury, chronic pain is very different. Chronic pain persists—often for months or even longer. Chronic pain may arise from an initial injury, such as a back sprain, or there may be an ongoing cause, such as illness. However, there may also be no clear cause. Other health problems, such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, decreased appetite, and mood changes, often accompany chronic pain. Chronic pain may limit a person’s movements, which can reduce flexibility, strength, and stamina. This difficulty in carrying out important and enjoyable activities can lead to disability and despair.
Sound is a direct and easy way to stimulate the brain. Sound therapy is an inexpensive, natural way to reduce chronic pain. According to some studies, music and sound may have an immediate ability to reduce pain and just like relaxation and guided imagery, can strengthen the right side of the brain, which controls the body's healing processes.
When the brain senses injury to the body, pain signals begin in the somatosensory cortex and the hypothalamus and work their way through the “pain pathway”, ultimately sending signals that provide pain relief. There are also signals that stimulate the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, dynorphins, and enkephalins. Sound therapy helps in pain reduction by activating these sensory pathways.

Anxiety is a condition where stress worry and dread have built up to the point that they interfere with our daily functioning. Worry about everyday life is exaggerated to the point where it preoccupies the mind. Sufferers tend to worry frequently about health, money, family, work or school. This worrying is often unrealistic or out of proportion to the situation.
Some common symptoms of anxiety include:
Hot and cold flushes
Sleeplessness Racing heart
Tightening of the chest
Ruminative, repetitive worrying
Obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviour
Those with depression have been found to possess lower levels of serotonin or dopamine, which are responsible for helping people experience happy emotions. Without these neurotransmitters available, your state of energy is diminished substantially.
It’s been known for years that bathing the brain in high frequency sound vibrations helps low feelings. In fact, it’s been narrowed down that helping to activate the left side of the brain specifically through sound healing has a vital impact on depression. This is also why meditation has been shown to help improve mood and decrease anxiety...it stimulates the left side of the brain.
Remember when we mentioned dopamine and serotonin above? Sound healing enables the brain to produce more of these neurotransmitters, which then lowers the depression and increases the positive feelings you’re looking for.

Most people are not aware that a major portion of our nervous system is located in our intestines, also know as the ‘enteric nervous system’ by doctors or, more commonly, as our ‘second brain.’ In fact, more than 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced in the gut, as well as about 50% of the body’s dopamine. Furthermore, your intestines produce and co-regulate 30 other neurotransmitters identical to those found in your brain and are used by your central nervous system to regulate mood, stress levels, sleep patterns, mental functioning and any number of other essential body processes. As you can imagine, an imbalanced, damaged or poorly functioning digestive system—whether that is due to antibiotic use, diet and lifestyle or simply overconsumption of irritating foods—interferes with the functioning of this second brain and has been implicated in depression and other mood disorders, immune system disruption and many other common diseases. Although this enteric nervous system was unknown to Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors thousands of years earlier, they clearly recognized that digestive problems affected the whole person—mentally, physically and spiritually.
Is restoring your digestive health important to you? Do you often suffer from a bloated tummy or experience an excessive gas problem?
If the answer is yes, you should know that sound therapy can refresh your digestive system by relieving you of stress. The healing power of sound can actually speed up the recovery process of a repaired digestive tract.

Digestive Balance
Insomnia is a sleep disorder in which people have one or more of the following symptoms:
Difficulty falling asleep
Waking up often during the night and having trouble going back to sleep
Waking up too early in the morning
Having sleep that is not refreshing
Approximately 50% of adults experience occasional bouts of insomnia, and 1 in 10 complain of chronic insomnia. Insomnia is approximately twice as common in women as in men, and is more common in older than younger people.
Insomnia is caused by stress, so when our stress is reduced by Sound Therapy, we naturally sleep better. Listeners usually notice an improvement in their sleep even on the first night. Insomnia is caused by excessive cortical excitation that cannot be stopped. Sound Therapy cuts mind chatter and allows the mind to move naturally into the slower rhythms that lead to sleep.
Sleeplessness due to anxiety may also be resolved. The opening of the ear to high frequency sounds re-creates the pre-birth experience and can facilitate the resolution of early emotional anxieties. Many insomniacs have experienced an immediate and dramatic improvement in their sleep.
Insomnia Treatments
Stress isn’t always bad. In small doses, it can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best. But when you’re constantly running in emergency mode, your mind and body pay the price. If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, it’s time to take action to bring your nervous system back into balance.
This treatment is design to reduces stress by:
Recharging the cortex of the brain with high frequency sound
Releasing latent energy in the brain
Enhancing focus and concentration Improving the quality of sleep
Reducing negative mind chatter
Enhancing inner calm and positive emotions
Deep
Relaxation
The left brain hemisphere is the language-processing centre. The right brain is used for spatial judgment, movement, drawing, music, mathematics and technical abilities. Sound therapy works on both sides to develop areas where we might be weak and improve communication between the hemispheres. For this reason Sound Therapy listeners often find themselves developing new abilities, overcoming blocks and finding inspiration.

Frequencies
Are you going to a physical therapist or a chiropractor for a physical difficulty? You might find that your treatment includes a device that projects frequencies into your body to heal your muscles or tendons or even to align your vertebrae.
Sound is routinely used in different areas of medicine and counselling. It’s common practice for a doctor to harness it in the form of ultrasound in order to create images of a fetus for parents to view. Ultrasound is also available as a treatment for kidney stones as well as for the acceleration of healing of bone fracture. It’s currently being tested experimentally for use with cancer patients. There are scientists who have examined our genetic code, found it analogous to music, and are researching ways in which sound may be able to affect healing through our DNA. It’s also on frontier of modern neuroscience.
Sound is now commonly being used in traditional allopathic as well as complementary medicine to help ease pain and relieve stress.
Vibrational medicine is particularly beneficial as our bodies are constituted by more than 70% of water. The vibrations of these harmonic instruments entrain the body & mind into resonance bringing a renewed sense of well being and inner peace.
Sound therapy is used to treat symptoms and underlying unbalances of a number of conditions, including:
Improved hearing for those with industrial deafness or hearing loss due to aging
Relief of tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
New vitality and sense of well being
Relief of tiredness and stress
Deep relaxation and relief of anxiety and depression
Heightened creativity and mental capacity
Increased energy, focus and performance
Deep, beneficial sleep and an end to insomnia
Better balance and recovery from dizziness or vertigo
Improved concentration and learning ability
Improved behaviour and communication in children
Increased voice quality and vocal range
Better communication, relationships and greater family harmony
When addressing musculoskeletal issues your treatment might also include a massage, acupressure, gua sha, cupping, moxibustion and diet suggestions. Description of these modalities can be found below.
