How Does Sound Therapy Work?

Studies conducted by sound therapies have
shown that certain sounds can slow the
breathing rate and create a feeling of overall
well-being. Sound can also change the skin
temperature, reduce blood pressure and muscle
tension, and influence brain waver frequencies.
Sound travel from one source to another as
waves. Each sound has its own velocity and
intensity, a frequency, pitch and wavelength.

The intensity of the vibration, or the loudness
of sound, ismeasured in units called decibels.
Although volume in a factor, it is not necessary
that one be consciously aware of a sound for it
to have an effect because sound creates a
response in the entire body, not just the ear.
Resonance also has an effect on the body, mind
& spirit.

Sound is linked to the physical body by the
eighth and tenth cranial nerves.

These carry sound impulses through the ear and
skull to the brain.

Motor and sensory impulses are then sent along
the vagus nerve to the throat, larynx, heart and
diaphragm.

The human body also has its own rhythmic
patterns and there is growing evidence that
rhythms of the heart, the brain, and other
organs enjoy a special synchronicity.

Disturbances in these rhythms can create illness
and disease.

Sound can also be used to help the body
regulate the hormone levels, helping to control
muscle spasms, reduce pain, and reduce stress
in heart patients.

Sound and music can evoke a range of emotions
from sadness to joy, and can be used to
moderate feelings of anger or depression.

When sound is used with imagery and
visualization, moods and physical sensations can
change rapidly.

Combining music, sounds, imagery, and
breathing can bring about strong emotional
releases and also help to connect with the
unconscious mind.
