SOUND HEALING
life and energy, and that Music Therapy is a profession which represents the re-emergence of music as a powerful healing tool.
Sound is a part of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual design. Music therapy has existed for as long as people have populated the Earth although it may not have been labeled as such. In every culture, sound and music are used to heal, from a simple lullaby to calm a crying baby to a haunting drum beat to invoke visions or the rhythmic sound of ocean waves to invoke a meditative state. 
Beaulieu tells the story of how a group of professional musicians noticed that the music they played in a hospital to entertain World War II veterans also had a positive effect on those who were exposed to the music on a regular basis. The soldiers’ morale increased, socialization skills became better, and depressions disappeared more quickly because suppressed emotions found a safe form of release through the music they heard. This was the beginning of what is now know as the field of music therapy. 
Sound and music have an instant and immediate effect on our emotional and mental states. Music can soothe, excite, disturb, calm, and invoke moods and feelings along the entire emotional spectrum. We are surrounded by so many sounds, both audible and inaudible, that we are now much more sensitive and responsive to sounds and music that are soothing to us. Yet what is soothing to one person’s vibrational frequency may not be soothing to another’s, so an infinite variety of sound and music exists to serve and heal us all.
