Finding A Therapeutic Sound Project

By Jaclyn Hurley


A therapeutic sound project is a form of bio-therapy. People trained in the use of music as a tool to help people gain balance in their lives offer an alternative path to health. Rather than using pharmaceutical drugs, invasive treatments like shock therapy, or hypnosis, practitioners use music or other resonant sounds to gently uplift a patient's emotional state.

The emotional state of a person has a profound effect on physical health and overall quality of life. This fact is familiar to most of us. We're told that a positive attitude can win friends and influence people and that laughter is good for us. Social interaction is important; married people live longer, children do best in whole families with both mother and father, and those who are active members of a community report more happiness.

Sound therapy is a recognized field based on the human body's response to external frequencies or resonances. Researchers in this area believe that all matter has resonance. They point to the fact that atoms are in perpetual motion and that everything has a measurable vibration. Biofeedback technology tracks brainwaves, voice patterns, pulse, and other indications of emotional and physical conditions. Trained therapists interpret that information.

This is a fascinating subject and one which seems to be validated by common sense and personal experience. Almost everyone will have, at some time, been uplifted by a lively tune or soothed by a lullaby. People naturally want to move to a strong beat, dancing or tapping their feet or fingers in time. These responses, as well as a dislike of angry voices or jumping at sudden explosions, show how sound and vibration can affect people mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Conditions that respond to this form of therapy include mood disorders. Adolescents often become 'moody' under the stresses of the many demands society places on them. Millions of people of all ages suffer from depression, which robs life of meaning and happiness. It's been proved that being depressed is bad for total health. Stroke victims or paralytics often fail to improve when they are really only emotionally crippled.

It is common for a person who does not socialize well to find that playing a musical instrument offers both engagement and an outlet for deep emotions. Others may find release in dance or movement, in singing, in chanting, or in relaxation therapy. The elderly respond so well to music that this therapy is now often covered by insurance plans.

Music therapy is only one way to use resonance and response. Chanting, singing, dancing, and exposure to low-frequency vibrations have benefits. There are all sorts of applications for resonance, from diagnosis to treatment. Therapists work from the viewpoint that each individual has a unique frequency, so programs must be tailored to precise needs and goals.

When looking for a project in your city, do a general search online. You'll find background information to help you select a therapist for yourself or a family member. Evaluate alternative practitioners like you would medical doctors, checking references and credentials. There are different levels of therapy, from basic things like dance classes or guitar lessons to intense sessions with a bio-feedback technician.
