WHAT IS SOUND HEALING THERAPY?
In the words of Tony Nec, Principal of the Sound Healing Academy:
“Sound Healing is a heart-full form of healing grounded in science, inspired by spirit and manifested through creativity. [It] is a powerful therapy that combines different healing sounds, music, and special sound healing instruments to improve our multidimensional well-being by creating a beautiful experience where all layers of our luminous energy field (body, mind, soul, spirit) are awakened gently and lovingly.”
Healing with sound, which is deeply rooted in ancient cultures and civilizations, is one of the most natural forms of healing known to man. Since ancient times, the principles of sound healing have been used to help alleviate mental disorders and bring about emotional and physical healing. Drums and rattles are two of the earliest known musical instruments - shamans all over the world chanted and used drums and rattles to heal their tribespeople. It is now understood that the low frequency sounds of the drums and higher frequency of rattles would work together to help accelerate healing. Indigenous Australians used didgeridoos to aid in the healing of broken bones, muscle tears and other kinds of illnesses.
Tibetan monks believed that the powerful vibrations created by their use of brass singing bowls, were the sound of the universe manifesting. Demetrius, a Greek traveler circa 2000 BCE, recorded that ancient Egyptians used vowel sound chants in healing rituals in special chambers in their pyramids. Pythagoras of Greece was reputed to have cured many ailments of the spirit, soul, and body, by having certain therapeutic sound frequencies played in the presence of the sufferer. He is considered by many to be the founder of music therapy.
Moving forward in time, sound healing practitioners have a wide range of instruments to draw on; from vocal chanting to Tibetan or crystal singing bowls, to chimes and gongs, to shamanic drums and various types of rattles, just to name a few. The vibrations of sound healing instruments penetrate deep into our bodies. Sound vibration pulses are conducted through the connective tissue, blood, lymph and spinal fluids, cartilage, muscle tissue and bone, and are considered to have significant therapeutic consequences.
