Supported by scientific research, the basic principle, of sound healing is that all matter is energy which is eternal and in a constant state of vibration, or resonance. There is significant research in modern day physics, and in particular, quantum physics, that shows we are vibrational beings.

The body has approximately 100 trillion cells and every one of these is controlled by an electromagnetic field which is resonating at its own unique sound frequency. Therefore, every part of your body, bones, organs, muscles and tissues has their own unique vibratory rate which can change depending on your state of wellbeing.

Sound has the ability to assist the brain to release different neurochemicals and hormones such as endorphins the body’s natural opiates. Other effects are increased oxygen to the cells, reduction of stress hormones and lowered blood pressure. The chemicals that are released are dopamine (the ‘feel good’ chemical), oxytocin’s (a natural painkiller and chemical that lets us bond with others).

Sound puts our brains into alpha and theta brain wave activity which takes you towards parasympathetic functioning which slows the heart beat and slows breathing and therefore becoming much more relaxed.

As promising in the management of stress as mindfulness and other meditation systems may be, a common complaint is the time, patience, and discipline required to learn meditation.

Thus, a form of relaxation and stress relief that does not require the individual to learn a disciplined form of meditation or to have or acquire the individual to utilize is potentially a huge benefit to human wellness stress reduction and health. In fact, the participant may even fall asleep if desired. At the very least, participants generally express feelings of deep relaxation and inner peace following the sound meditation.
