The Science of Sound Healing

Everything in the Universe is in a state of motion, and has a vibration. And that means that every organ, tissue, and bone in your body also has a vibration.

The vibrations of two objects can fall into sync, and if the vibrational frequency is a match, it is called resonance. When the stronger vibration becomes the leader, and heavily influences the weaker vibration to come into resonance with it, it is called entrainment.

If you ever been in the presence of an enlightened spiritual leader or magnificent animal, perhaps you felt calmer and more open-minded. This shift we make unconsciously is one example of energy entrainment. Entrainment exists throughout our Universe in many different ways.

“Sound is the most powerful energy medicine because it is energy itself.”

Sound Healing utilizes this universal pull by introducing vibrations to entrain the undesired vibration back to it’s original vibration. The sound produced impacts our cells, mitochondria, dna and chromosomes. It can travel deeply through our body without leaving a scar and create profound rearrangement of our molecular structure.

Sound changes the structure of matter through the science of vibration resonance and entrainment. The art of Cymatics shows us this beautiful and awesome effect caused by sound frequencies.

Consider a sick cell, as a cell that is no longer holding it’s optimum vibration, or “keynote”. In fact, when you look at a stressed cell under a microscope, it appears to almost go to sleep. It’s as if the cell lost the original frequency it was designed to have.

Holistic Sound Healing uses Intrasound frequencies, which is sound between 20-20,000 hz to penetrate through your body to reach the sick cells. The received vibration will pass through the tissues, fluids, bone and cartilage of your body absorbing the energy of the sound wave – molecule by molecule .

When molecules are hit by sound waves close to their inherent frequency they will oscillate, or resonate with the introduced frequency. It reminds cells of their optimum state, and enables them to restore.

The wave of sound will compress and relax the cells of your body as it passes through, improving blood circulation and metabolism, regulating muscle tension and stimulating your tissues, much like receiving a massage.

The cells in compression lose some fluid, usually toxins or “waste” fluid, which is beneficial to the restoration of your health. And as the cell pressure relaxes again, helpful nutrients for regrowth are drawn into the cell. The process stimulates hormones within the tissue, which improves blood flow to the area for many hours.

“You can look at disease as a form of disharmony. And there’s no organ system in the body that’s not affected by sound and music and vibration.”
