But do you know the reason why <\/em>sound healing is so effective?<\/h3>\n\n\n\nPause for a moment and listen. What can you hear? Perhaps the hum of the refrigerator, a song on the radio, aeroplanes, wind rustling through leaves? From the most audible sounds closest to you right now, to the muffled sounds you can barely hear, all of those frequencies are having an impact on the mind and body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve never been surrounded by sound as much as we are today. Beyond the positive and uplifting sounds of singing and music, there\u2019s also \u2018noise pollution\u2019, which researchers say is one of the leading causes of health issues worldwide. A 2021 study estimated that people living close to busy roads were more likely to experience high cortisol (the \u2018stress hormone\u2019) levels, hypertension or heart disease, and millions of people suffer from a hearing impairment due to excessive noise exposure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It doesn\u2019t have to be loud and disturbing noises that affect us however. The \u2018bing\u2019 and \u2018beep\u2019 of notifications can also increase stress levels. When our phones or computers make a sound to notify us of a message, our brains might release dopamine \u2013 the \u2018motivation\u2019 and \u2018desire\u2019 hormone \u2013 but they can also release cortisol, which, in excess, is detrimental to health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a world with so much noise, it\u2019s more important than ever to be intentional and conscious about how we use sound and how we interact with it, which is where sound healing <\/em>comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAn ancient art and science<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Healing with sound has existed for thousands of years. The Ancient Egyptians used musical incantations to help heal the sick, whilst the ancient yogic text the Samaveda <\/em>contains chants and hymns and was recited in a specific harmony. Greek physicians used musical instruments to heal patients, using the power of vibration to promote healthy digestion, sleep and emotional disturbances. <\/p>\n\n\n\nVibration<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>really is a key word when it comes to sound healing, because any sound is made up of vibration. All sounds are made up of waves produced by the vibrations of material objects. If you clap your hands together, this creates a vibration, which we hear as soundwaves and frequencies. If you strum a guitar, the vibration of the strings sends out waves, heard as frequencies. These vibrations are transmitted through the air, and when they reach our ears they\u2019re converted to electrical impulses in the brain, which we interpret as sound. It\u2019s these specific frequencies that sound healers often use in sessions in order to help balance mind-body health.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGood vibrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Specific frequencies can be used to help optimise the body\u2019s organs, as well as to elicit certain brainwaves and emotional states. Humans have an optimal frequency, as does everything else in the universe, that occurs when each of the cells in our body vibrates at the frequency it was designed to. A healthy body resonates at a frequency of 62-72 MHz,\u00a0and when your frequency drops to 58 MHz, that is when disease starts. Bacteria, viruses, and disease each have their own, low frequency that influence your energy field.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve heard the phrases \u2018good vibes\u2019 and \u2018bad vibes\u2019, this is what sound specialists are referring to. When our bodies and minds are vibrating at a healthy level, we generally feel well inside and out. If we spend time in environments or with people who drain us or bring us \u2018down\u2019 however, this can lower our vibrational frequency and leave us more susceptible to illness or mood issues. Using sound-based vibration is one of the key ways sound healing can help reharmonise and rebalance our body and emotion. In fact, this is already used in medicine today to help reduce pain for those with arthritis, menstrual pain, and postoperative pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Healing frequencies for emotions, organs and chakras<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now that we know a little about the science of sound, it\u2019s easier to understand how it can be so beneficial. Certain sound waves can encourage our brain to elicit certain brain waves that can help us feel relaxed, alert, focused, and even aid us in entering a meditative state. When our brain is in a relaxed and balanced state, it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (the \u2018rest and digest\u2019 system) helping the body\u2019s organs and tissues rest, heal and regenerate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As well as physical health, sound healing is also used to release \u2018blocked\u2019 energy from the subtle energy channels, which restores balance to our emotions too. Specific frequencies are linked to specific patterns in numerology and geometry, and are said to have specific effects on the body and mind, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
