WHAT CAN SOUND DO?

Sound healing, has a basis in both neurology and psychology. It has been proven in neurological studies that listening to music makes us more productive and creative; it can relieve stress and, depending on the sort of music, can improve our moods.
Sound not only helps to induce a state of deep relaxation, it also has a unique and profound way of moving through our areas of energetic blockage. These energy blockages can be found in our physical body, as well as in our our subtle body, our aura.

  • The human ear is connected to virtually every organ in the body by means of the tenth cranial-or vagus- nerve. The Vagus nerve carries 75% of all parasympathetic activity-the signals that tell our bodies it is okay to rest and digest. When it is stimulated by soothing soundsand particularly when we sing- we are sending a message of calm and relaxation to every part of our body; it’s a massage for every organ in the body.
  • When a body is under stress, nitric oxide production diminishes and can result in lack of energy, joints pain, depression, decreased sexual drive, headaches, memory loss and poor digestion. Over time, these conditions can escalate into major diseases, including cardio-vascular diseases, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune disease and cancer.
  • Dr John Beaulieu’s studies show that applying tuning forks to the body rapidly strikes the production of nitric oxide (NO), a tiny gas molecule fundamental to all life and essential for the healthy function of all organ systems. Humming increases nasal nitric oxide 15-20 fold. Humming can improve our circulatory health, our immunity, and set us on a parasympathetic path to rest and relaxation.
  • The physical body is where we experience discomfort and pain. Deep relaxation can alleviate pain and discomfort. It allows us to consciously change our relationship to the discomfort or pain. Sound healing frequencies can help to facilitate a physiological reaction, such as the natural release of endorphins.

The subtle body is our energetic body, our aura. The subtle body contains the energetic imbalances and emotional traumas, that can ultimately manifest in our physical bodies. It’s vital to approach healing, both physical and emotional, not just from a physical angle. Healing is a holistic experience, that encompasses body, mind, and spirit.

Research has shown that the brains of musicians are more symmetrical. And that the parts of the brain responsible for motor and cognitive functioning, coordination, and reasoning, are significantly larger. And thanks to an enlarged corpus callosum, the two hemispheres of the brain have better communication.In neurological studies, it has been proven that listening to music makes us more productive and creative. It can relieve stress and improves our moods.

This is because listening to music floods our brains with dopamine. It also releases oxytocin, a natural painkiller, and hormone that allows us to bond with others. Music also helps language development and improves communication.

Integration of sonorous yogic practices, including Sacred Sounds formulas, mantras, chanting, humming and toning to burn away impurities of the body & the mind; clear emotions and ultimately, to attain liberation of all conditions.

It’s even been shown to increase our IQs, so it’s safe to say that music makes us smarter. It improves our memory too, warding off brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s.Music is powerful. It can change our brains, and so it changes our bodies.
