Sound therapy is a component of alternative healing. These practices are defined as healing and wellness practices that go outside the realm of present day scientific based medicine. Some of these practices work in conjunction with traditional medicine and others stand alone.
The use of sound is very powerful. It is used to emphasize a point when the voice is raised, it is used with the outlet of music to bring happiness, nature uses sound to let us know of our surroundings, and it is used in therapy.
What Is It All About?
This practice has the philosophy that everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, including humans. Life is sound and sound brings life to earth. The power of sound energy is considered the simplest form of energy balance that is crucial to our wholeness and complete happiness. The Essences of sound embrace the healing vibrations and these are found in such aspects as:
- Positive Word Affirmations
- Sacred Geometry
- Sound
- Colour
- Crystals and gems
- Symbols
- Aroma
These healing vibrations interact with the body on a physical and energy level to produce vibration healing and energy balancing. Visible or invisible these remedies impact human beings powerfully. They are considered the true essence of our being.
Sound Essences are remedies that go on the belief that all illness, disease, or imbalance is due to the blockage of such channels like: auric field, charkas, meridians, arteries, veins, lymph nodes, or nerves. When there is blockage in one of these areas, then the organ or system that is near this passage will become ill. Sound Essences help clear the blockage and thus restoring the vital balance within our body.
Sound Healing
This form of therapy is effective and proven to help reduce stress, alter consciousness, and create a deep sense of peace, well being and better health. Our body has normal frequencies when awake which is called Beta. Sound healing tools train the brain to move into the deeper Alpha and Theta brain wave. These are the frequencies that induce deep meditative and peaceful states. The help clarify the mind and become more intuitive. Sound therapy is a kind of healing that allows the mind to create a sacred space that aids in healing of stress disorders, pain, depression, and the general emotional roller coaster that we find ourselves.
Even on the simplest level sound therapy makes sense. Think about it, you are feeling blue and not sure why. There is no need to take something for it because it is just a general case of the blues; all of a sudden your favorite song comes on the radio and suddenly your spirits start to lift. You are now finding that you are singing along and perhaps even dancing. The root of your problem seems insignificant and you are generally feeling better. This is the power of sound. It helped clear the bad and allowed the positive energy to flow, thus creating inner balance.
Sound therapy has helped those who are dealing with or fighting bigger problems than the general blahs. Cancer patients have sought sound therapy to compliment their traditional forms of healing. The traditional forms of healing cannot only kill the bad cells needed to fight cancer but also the good cells that promote self-healing in the body. Sound energy therapy can clear certain channels that allow for the positive energy to flow and give the client a much deserved boost. This boost gives them the energy needed to fight Cancer at every level that it has affected.
Sound And Ancient Bowls
There are ancient forms of sound therapy that are making their way into the Western culture. The ancient form of Tibetan singing bowls is one that gains popularity. These ancient bowls are struck and therefore releasing a sound of rhythmic pattern which create vibration harmonies at a frequency know as AUM or OM. These sounds impact the sympathetic nervous system as your brain waves synchronize to the vibrations. The vibrations engage the relaxation reflex with slows down the respiratory, brain and heart rate. Upon doing this, the vibrations disrupt the pain reflex creating a deep sense of well being.
Alternative healing shows itself in many forms. Sound is just one element that our bodies are in tuned with. This has shown us that when one element is out of balance then it is possible that our bodies are out of balance and not allowing us to achieve complete wellness.
Enjoy Your First Visit To An Acupuncture Clinic

You may be considering making an appointment at an acupuncture clinic. Many people consider this for various symptoms; some common ones being persistent pain, stress-related symptoms, or other problems such as weight loss. In China, many people use their acupuncture visits as a periodic tune up in order to stay healthy. Chinese acupuncturists sometimes get paid as long as their client is healthy, rather than when their clients have symptoms. There are many benefits of acupuncture.
A typical clinic looks like any professional office, and you will be shown into a room where you are comfortably seated in a chair. The acupuncture practitioner comes in and begins the diagnosis. There are two major parts to the diagnosis, physical observation and a discussion of your symptoms and environment. A basic physical observation will include taking your pulse and observing your tongue. Unlike a traditional doctor’s office, your pulse is taken on both wrists, and at several points on each wrist. Your pulse is taken both near the surface of your wrist and also more deeply below the surface. These observations will be written down and used together with the discussion with the practitioner.
You should think about a number of things to discuss at your first acupuncture visit. If you are coming in for a particular symptom or set of symptoms, this should be a major part of the discussion. Think about several different aspects of your symptoms. Let’s say that you have persistent pain in your ankle, to use one example. The pain may not be constant during the entire day; it may ebb and wane depending on the hours of the day. The pain may increase or decrease due to certain activities, and you should observe these as much as possible.
You might think that walking would certainly increase the pain, but sometimes walking is not as much of a problem as persistent standing, for example, as a cashier in a grocery store. Also, the pain might change depending on the times of the month, and that should also be mentioned to the acupuncture practitioner. Cause and effect, if any, is also important to report. Some things to consider if stress is a component, for possibly the pain started or increased when you got a new supervisor at work. Notice that a diagnosis for an acupuncture visit includes physical, emotional, social, and mental components to the diagnosis. So come to the acupuncture office armed with as much information as you can gather about the reason you are coming.
Once you and the acupuncture practitioner get through the initial diagnosis, some time is taken to construct a plan of treatments. Depending on the particular symptom that you have, and the other personal information that was taken in the initial diagnosis, your first treatment might be this same day, or you may be asked to return on a different day to start your treatments. The time of day and the particular days for acupuncture treatments are carefully selected in order to achieve the best result possible.
If you do have an initial treatment, it will be painless, and generally takes less than an hour, sometimes much less than that. The acupuncture practitioner will insert very slim needles at specific locations, which will remain for the number of minutes needed for your particular symptoms. When the needles are still you are not even aware of them. Inserting and removing needles is also pain free, rarely there may be a slight twinge, but not more than that. During your treatment you may feel more relaxed, a buzz of energy, slightly warmer at the needle insertion points, or exactly the same as when you came in. However, the needles are doing their work to regulate and rebalance the circulation in your body. So enjoy your first visit, and know that each visit brings you closer to your optimal health.
