ABOUT SOUND HEALING

On some level we have all experienced the positive effects of music, with its amazing ability to change our mood and lift our spirits in times of sadness, depression and grief. Sound often evokes emotional responses and can energize the body when tired, or relax the body by soothing the nervous system when we are angry. Some cultures and religions revere sound so deeply as to believe it called the universe into being. The Hindus believe the first movement in the universe created the sound "AUM", which contains the frequencies of all other sounds.

Sound is a powerful healing tool. Sound has a counterbalancing action upon the physical and emotional states of the body and mind, and can affect us at both conscious and unconscious levels. Often times sound is used to promote relaxation, which in turn helps us become more open to the healing energies that inspire a natural state of wellness. Many have been able to relieve physical pain, find closure to traumatic events, reduce stress, and/or simply find a deep sense of relaxation after only a few minutes of experiencing healing sound.
