Every organ, tissue, and cell has its vibration which, when in harmony, creates the most wonderful symphony imaginable, the human body. And all of it is continuously absorbing and emitting sound. Our body as well as our minds, in a relaxed harmonious state, are vibrating at a fundamental frequency of about 8 cycles per second, allowing us to be attuned with the basic electromagnetic field of the Earth itself.

Scientific studies show us that sound has the capacity to create change in the autonomic, immune, endocrine and neuropeptide systems. Both sound and music (simply put, organized sound) assist in allowing the body-mind to come into a deep state of relaxation where the bodies inherent capacity for self healing can occur.

Two and a half thousand years ago the famous Greek philosopher Pythagoras utilized sound as a form of medicine treating a variety of ailments and we can trace this idea back further and outward across continents, cultures and ages right into something we know in our hearts yet cannot find the sufficient words to speak its Truth.

As cutting edge as this modality might seem, there is nothing new about Sound Healing and its Power to pierce the veil of thoughts and allow us to perceive the source of where all sound is springing from.

Sound ceremony is the gathering in the reverence and presence of sound. It is to be an embodied, experiential and direct communion in vibration; and equally a contemplative inquiry and listening meditation on the life, spirit and source of all sound. If you are not in awe at all that touches your ears then you are not listening carefully enough.

If you listen carefully you may begin to perceive a sound, and the source of that sound, if you inquire, has no beginning and has not an ending. Unstruck and uncaused, ceaselessly humming through more than just your ears. There is a symphony inside of you that is waiting for you to listen.

These are just some benefits of toning, mantra and sound healing work:

• Increases sensory perception, clarity, and intuition

• Releases limiting beliefs, stress, and dis-ease

• Charges the brain and alters our brain state, inducing alpha-theta states associated with healing.

• Synchronizes heart-brain-body rhythms, producing a state of centeredness, balance, and integrity

• Dissolves the veils to remembering original intention

• Expands our life potential and creativity, opening a gateway to soul freedom

See our list of benefits of sound healing above.

Sound healing can be used in ceremonies for physical, emotional and energetic healing. If you are already a musician or yoga teacher, or hope to expand into the work of sound healing, you can develop it as your profession and your way of connecting with Spirit and your Soul's purpose. You can use sound healing for your own and others' healing on many levels, as well as a way to connect to your creative capacities and flow states.

Sounds are constantly affecting our hormone secretions, emotional states, breathing, heart rate, and our brain waves.

There are four key ways that sound affects us on a daily basis: Physiological, psychological, cognitively and behaviorally.

Physiological changes include fluctuations of hormones, heart rate, and even our breathing. For example, when we hear the sound of ocean waves lapping at the seashore, we experience a significant drop in stress hormones. A study showed that this drop was caused by our biological stress messengers, catecholamine neurotransmitters, which slow down when one is exposed to oceanic sounds.

Psychological effects of sound are a bit more obvious, the most prominent being our perception and experience of our emotions.

Cognitive effects have been shown by various studies. In 2009, a study was Training Manual 17 done by Lund University in Sweden that expanded upon six ways in which sound can evoke emotions in the brain.

Nāda is said to be one of the simplest and most straightforward approaches to Yoga not only for its ability concentrate, calm and restore well-being to the individual both physically and mentally but too, as a tool for self realization and as a path for spiritual liberation and awakening.

The word Nāda or Nad refers to sound or tone in a similar sense it also means current, stream, river or flow. Therefore Nāda is the flow of sound, the constant current, the sacred sound stream; a river of sound. The Nāda Yogis see this constant current as the basis for all things. Indeed, they declare that the world is sound. Subtle sound vibration extending and rippling outwards to create a vast network of events we call the universe. Nāda Yoga then is the uniting of the individual consciousness with the universal through involvement with the flow of sound.
