Sound therapy, sometimes known as music therapy, is powerful modality to help balance your body, mind and emotions. By listening to coherent sound frequencies or having vibration directly applied to the body, this can help calm the central nervous system and create a state of coherence within the body.
Coherence means that all your systems, organs, body, mind and emotions are balanced and in rhythm. Think about an orchestra that is playing out of tune and every instrument is playing its own song. This creates noise and static which is what you experience when you are stressed and run down.
Coherence means that the orchestra (your body) is playing harmonious beautiful music which helps you feel relaxed, open and clear minded. This also results in more energy in the body which can travel without interference.
Often when we experience trauma, stress, strong emotions, injuries, surgeries, scars and body toxicity these can interfere with the natural energy flow of the body. Once this happens, physical, mental and emotional dysregulation can occur. As such it's important that the body can fall back into it's original settings and free-flowing energetic pathways are restored.
Traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and many ancient traditions talk about energetic pathways in the body called meridians or nadis. Acupuncture and acupressure for example follow the same meridians and now research is showing great benefits when these are activated, resulting in resolution for numerous physical and psychological conditions. Research is a little slow on the uptake of ancient wisdom, but it is finally getting there.
One of the sound therapies I practice and use with my clients is called Biofield Tuning which uses tuning forks on the body and in the field to help restore optimal health. The premise of Biofield Tuning is that when unable to digest and process certain events in our lives such as trauma, accidents, breakups, failures etc. this energy gets stuck in our electromagnetic field.
The human body has a measurable electromagnetic field of about 2-3 metres on each side and 1-2 meters on the top and bottom. It looks like a doughnut shape and stores all your life experiences in a stand-in wave format.
Anything unprocessed (trauma, accident, events, emotions etc) can get stuck in your field causing interference. This impacts the free flow of energy which leads to poor physical, mental and emotional health. Using tuning forks, you can provide the body with a coherent input which helps re-tune the body and help process and release any stuck energy and associated trauma, vicious patterns, emotional and mental roadblocks.
Some improvements from biofield tuning & sound therapy include:
Our bodies are not just mechanical and chemical but also energetic, a fact that has been neglected by science and ourselves for far too long. While there are many bio energetic based modalities I have found Biofield Tuning to be, so far, the most effective one.
I came across Biofield Tuning while doing research into sound. I booked a distance session to address some irrational anger I was experiencing. Within 24 hours, and ever since, I have not experienced that irrational anger response anymore.
This was a profound change for me, as I understand the body and mind and emotions very well given my training as a dietitian, psychotherapist, breathing coach and expert in nutrigenomics but couldn't figure out this pesky emotion.
What my session revealed is that it was an inherited pattern from my father who, surprisingly, is not an angry guy and he himself inherited it from his mother. Talk about intergenerational trauma being passed on!
The best part was that I didn't need to talk about it at all because that pattern was combed out of my electromagnetic field and integrated in my body.
Needless to say, I started looking into this modality to better understand how it worked and I was convinced. The science made sense on an intuitive level and my experience and many experiences after were profound and life changing.
