Samadhi
The soundtrack in a dance class makes us move, whilst the soothing sounds of mantra in yoga promotes relaxation and concentration. Sound and music have a powerful effect on how one feels. Our bodies, minds, emotions and thoughts react differently to loud relentless noises than they do to the sweet spring sounds of chirping birds.

In other words, some sounds make us feel better than others. Whether we notice or not, our body takes cues from the sounds and rhythms around us, knowing when to tighten up, when to energize and when to be still.

An ever growing body of research tells us that sound when directed in a certain way, can help reduce stress, promote deep emotional healing and create a positive sense of wellbeing. From playing relaxation music in a waiting room to chanting in a doctors office, sound healing as therapy is gaining popularity as both a preventative medicine and a complement to standard medical treatments. Music has been shown to help people recover from illnesses more quickly and lift peoples moods to create stronger positive mind sets. You could literally say that the side effects of beautiful music are hope, happiness and a healthy sense of release from struggle.

The knowledge that sound effects the health of the mind and body is not new. Chanting sutras, humming and toning have been part of Hindu spirituality and the profound effects of yoga for thousands of years. The resurgence of interest in the healing power of sound is creating a modern day renaissance. “All life is one life, and everything is connected”.

Using human voice, crystal singing bowls, tuning forks as tools to stimulate healing, sound therapy emerges as one of a growing number of subtle-energy therapies that make up the field of vibrational medicine. Physics recognises that everything vibrates: everything in nature essentially everything in life.
