Alternative Therapy Options - Part I: Soundhealing or Soundbaths

Before you keep scrolling...gimme a minute.

I know, I know...some might call this woo-woo. But, human beings have been using the power of sound since thousands of years.

We simple need to remind ourselves of this: when notes are played in coherences, they create harmony. When they're incoherent, there is musical chaos. We also know that music equals certain frequencies and that each human emotion has a certain frequency (e.g. 'Letting Go' book by David R. Hawkins). As a result, music directly influences our being...AND it can also alter it.

To use a more scientific term, the perineural system in our body is responsible for aligning with these frequencies. It transmits biomagnetic pulsations throughout our entire body and has an intense power of changing our nervous system.

So, how do you find sound healing or where do you do it?

Typically, you can just google sound healing or sound bath sessions wherever you are in the world. I highly recommend doing it in person for the best effect. It is often hosted in a group session environment, guided with a few words, but mostly keeping it to instruments, such as gongs, tuning forks, didgeridoos, gongs, crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, frame drums, whistles, flutes, rain sticks and the voice.

If you want to dig deeper on the scientific side of this powerful therapy, check out e.g. the chapter "Sound Healing, Theory, and Practice" in the book "Nutrition & Integrative Medicine" (2019).

Have you tried sound healing before? What was your experience? If you haven't tried it yet, what are some reservations you may have about it?
