Healing through sound has been practiced by humans as far back as we can discover. Sound and resonance is woven into the origin and creation of all, and can be used to do miraculous things. It is powerful medicine and carries the force to create, destroy, and to heal. The more we understand this, the more we can unlock its magic and potential. When we become aware of the power and energy that vibration and resonance has, we can use it for healing.

Vibration can influence the body through various systems and pathways. This has to do with the complexity of both sound and our vessel. When used with knowledge, wisdom and intention, it has the ability to positively alter our physical, mental, emotional and mental manifestations. It does this in profound ways that are even somewhat unimaginable. Many scientific studies showcase the power vibrational frequencies have over humans and all living organisms. From healing cancer, arthritis, insomnia and depression, to calming the mind, and even creating altered states of consciousness.

The effects of sound healing are believed to be a result of a phenomenon called entrainment. This is when one vibration synchronizes another. Typically the more harmonious will influence the lesser of the two, as our natural world is pulled towards a more harmonious resonant frequency. Our bodies naturally entrain to external and internal vibrations and rhythms. Waves of sound from music, laughter, to the rhythm of the sun and moon. As we walk our journey many outside forces are not so harmonious and can cause dissonance, and work against our natural state of being. Harmful vibrations can not only come from outside of us, but also inside; endogenous frequencies stemming from our own inner emotions, thoughts and stored traumas. This can cause us to lose balance within our subtle bodies, go into a state of disequilibrium, and ultimately the birth of illness.

We can use vibrational medicine as a way to entrain our brainwaves and tune the temple of our spirit. Bringing us into a more cosmic, harmonious rhythm that is homeostasis and ultimate awareness. There are many ways we can do this and fortunately we always carry the ability to heal ourselves with sound, as we are a walking instrument. Vocal chanting, humming, and throat singing are just a few examples of this magic we carry within. Forming relationships with instruments such as Himalayan singing bowls, drums, and tuning forks are wonderful gateways to invoke the power of sacred sound. Attending sound journeys and working with a vibrational medicine practitioner is also an effective way to delve deeper into the many dimensions and possibilities that frequency can take you.

“The knower of the mystery of sound knows the mystery of the whole universe.” – Hazrat Inayat Khan

​

Let us not forget the very ancient, familiar, and transcendent aspect of vibration - the sanctity of sound; number in time. Our ancestors inherently knew that sound was a necessary element for living, not only in relation to our health but also our connection with source. Sound marks the creation of all things. It holds codes, portals and unseen wisdom that if humbly honored, reveals itself.
