Sound
healing is the practice of using audio tones and vibrational frequencies to
repair damaged tissue and cells within the body. It works on the basis that all
matter is vibrating at specific frequencies, and sickness, disease, depression
and stress causes human beings to vibrate at a lower frequency. Playing tones
that promote healing, happiness and vitality will allow DNA strands to repair
themselves, and several scientific studies have been conducted on the potential
healing benefits of audio sound frequencies. Sound has been used as a healing
tool for centuries, and is still regularly utilized by many different
alternative healthcare centers. Tibetan singing bowels, tuning forks, drumming
therapy, and even chanting are all used in sound therapy and many participants
experience strong emotions during therapy sessions. Advocates of sound healing
claim that it has the power to heal mental illness, arthritis, autoimmune
disorders and can even shrink cancerous tumors. Learn about the different forms
of sound healing and examine the evidence that supports its use as an
alternative medical practice.
Dr Emoto’s
Messages from Water
Dr Masaru
Emoto is a Japanese researcher at the Yokohama Municipal University who stunned
the world with the release of his book, Messages from Water. Dr Emoto designed
an experiment to test the effect of spoken words and music on water molecules.
He placed several bottles of purified water next to each other and exposed each
bottle to different spoken words, music or pictures. The words ranged from ‘I
love you’ to ‘you make me sick’, and Dr Emoto experimented with different forms
of music such as heavy metal and Mozart. The water was then frozen and Dr Emoto
used a very powerful microscope to take high-speed photographs of the newly
formed water crystals. The results were astonishing, and all of the samples
that had been exposed to positive words and relaxing music formed beautifully
intricate patterns and symmetrical, geometric shapes. By contrast, the samples
that were exposed to heavy metal music and angry words were distorted and
disharmonious. Dr Emoto claims that the results show that water is directly affected
by outside influences such as sound, vibration, and frequency, and as human
beings are 70% water, our health and wellbeing are also affected by these
stimuli.
Cymatics And
Sacred Geometery
Cymatics is
the visible representation of sound and its study has been documented as far
back as the 1600s in an essay by Galileo Galilei. It began gaining popularity
in the 1960s when Dr Hans Jenny conducted several experiments that showed how
sound could be converted into physical form. Jenny’s experiments involved
placing some form of powder of crystallized substance over a flat surface and
connecting the surface to an amplifier or tonoscope that could cause the
surface to vibrate at different musical tones and frequencies. As the tones
were played, the powder would shift into different geometrical patterns which
became more complex as the frequency was increased. The results of Jenny’s
experiments have been recreated by thousands of people all over the world, and
typing cymatics into YouTube will bring up some truly startling videos showing
how sound can influence physical matter.
Modern Forms
Of Sound Healing
Clinics
offering sound therapy can be found all over the world, and many offer a wide
range of different treatments. Crystal bowls, shamanic drumming, tuning forks,
and even didgeridoos are all utilized in sound healing and patients often take
part in group sessions or workshops. Music therapy is a form of sound healing
and is widely used in hospitals in the US to treat disorders such as
schizophrenia, amnesia, depression, and can even assist those recovering from a
stroke or other serious brain injury. Binaural tones are also widely used to
promote different mental states, and musicians sometimes insert them into their
music to create an effect on the listener. A wide number of guided meditations
are available online that use binaural tones, particularly 528Hz which is known
as the divine frequency, to bring the listener into a deep meditative state
that allows the body to heal and repair itself.
Scientific
Evidence for Sound Healing
A two year
study supported by the Klaus Tschira Foundation in Germany proved that sound
therapy was able to significantly reduce the symptoms of chronic tinnitus. Not
only did sufferers report a significant decrease in their symptoms, MRI images
of the subject’s brains during treatment showed that sound therapy was able to
activate certain areas of the brain that researchers believed were responsible
for the unpleasant symptoms associated with tinnitus.
A study that
examined the effects of music therapy on those with Huntington’s disease was
conducted by researchers at the University of Rochester in 2005 and involved
the use of group singing, drumming, and music assisted relaxation. All of the 5
subjects who participated in the trial responded well to the use of sound
therapy, and further trials are being organized to test the therapy on a wider
range of subjects.
Researchers
in the UK have found that sound wave therapy successfully cured 90% of male
patients that were suffering from prostate cancer, and did so without any
harmful side effects whatsoever. Dr Hashim Ahmed, who led the study at
University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation, stated “We’re optimistic
that men diagnosed with prostate cancer may soon be able to undergo a day case
surgical procedure, which can be safely repeated once or twice, to treat their
condition with very few side-effects.”
Words and
sounds are much more than just a method of communication. They are tangible
forces that have a direct effect on our health and wellbeing. The study of
quantum physics shows that the human body and the entire universe is made up of
tiny pieces of matter vibrating at certain frequencies and joined together by
magnetic forces. Exposing the internal organs and brain to different musical
frequencies will encourage them to heal from within, and sound therapy helps to
raise the frequency of the human body promoting health, vitality and spiritual
wellbeing.
