Globe Sound Healing Conference

By David Gibson

Sound Healing is the educated and conscious use of the energy of sound to reach identified goals and promote wellness in the human system – including the expansion of consciousness. Sound Healing is founded on the premise that all matter is vibrating at specific frequencies. A basic physical concept is that an external sound source will significantly change the vibrational characteristics of another vibrating object.

The field of Sound Healing includes a wide spectrum of techniques and therapies ranging from the use of natural acoustic instruments and voice to complex technologies. Sound is now being used for simple relaxation, stress reduction, sleep disorders, alertness and clarity enhancement, learning, immune system enhancement, pain reduction, personal transformation, raising consciousness, and connecting to spirit.

All acoustic instruments have a wide range of harmonics that naturally massage your auric fields.

The most powerful instrument of all is the human voice. Using your intention and simply trusting that spirit will produce the most healing sound, miracle healings often take place. Another more common technique is to teach people to resonate their body with their own voice. Chanting and toning are techniques for vibrating different areas of the body through singing. Not only does this provide a deeper awareness of the way sound resonates naturally throughout the body, it also is a lot cheaper once you learn the techniques!

The use of tuning forks for healing – particularly on acupuncture meridians and chakras is now becoming widely accepted in the medical community. The system called Acutonics is now being used in a wide range of hospitals.

Crystal bowls are not only relaxing; they have a unique effect of entraining your brain into different brainwave states (alpha, theta, and delta). There are many people who are now using crystal bowls to help heal those with cancer.

Pain Alleviation

Music is also being used to help with the alleviation of pain. There ix a wide range of surgeons who now use sound therapy before, during, and after surgery. It has been shown to substantially reduce the amount of anesthesia that is required. In a similar light, sound is also used to aid in both the birthing and dying processes. There are numerous tapes and CDs that have come out for making the birthing process smoother. As well, there are centers, such as Chalice of Repose who use sound and music as an aid to a beautiful death.

Very specific utilizations of music are now being used in integrative and complementary Healing centers, including: Office and treatment room ambiance, relaxation techniques, stress reduction, auditory biofeedback, correction of auditory tonal processing difficulties, abatement of hearing sensitivities, and correction of learning disabilities. Sound is currently being used to help correct certain learning disabilities in children. There are numerous clinics across the world that are using the research of Dr. Tomatis to stimulate the brain and nervous system.

New research has discovered that when you find the resonant frequency of a cell, it opens up the cell to receive energy. If you then turn up the volume at this resonant frequency the cell will explode. There are now very specific medical techniques being developed to destroy diseased cells with no side effects, and in a way that is totally non-invasive. In the field of sound healing it is becoming widely accepted that within a very short time that the whole medical field will be changing drastically as new techniques using sound become more widely accepted.

There exists a wide range of techniques that range from simple sound massage to what is termed "sound surgery" where sound is utilized inside the body. This includes placing highly precise tones within specific organs. Of course, ultrasound has been used for years to break up kidney stones or plaque on our teeth. This type of sound application is also being explored on other diseases such as cancer. Fabian Maman shows cancer being broken up with sound in one of his books. There are many reports of people who have successfully rid themselves of cancer using their own voice. We are beginning to take back our power, as we once again are able to heal ourselves.
