The Impact of sound on body and mind

"Sound is a vibration that touches every part of our physical being. Sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies." Jonathan Goldman "Healing Sounds: The Power of Harmonics."

It has been widely researched and is well-accepted that sound is more than just something we hear; it is a powerful vibrational force that resonates throughout our entire being, including our energy field.

Sound impacts our energy body as well as every cell in our physical body. This perspective can offer a deeper understanding of how sound can be “instrumental” (pardon the pun) for healing and wellness.

Research shows that sound interacts with the body on multiple levels, including the physical, emotional, and energetic. This concept illustrates the interconnectedness of our sensory and cellular experiences, suggesting that sound waves can stimulate cellular processes, promote relaxation, and facilitate emotional release.

With the practice of sound healing, specific frequencies and harmonics are used to restore balance and harmony within the body.

Listening to some kinds of music can evoke feelings of relaxation or joy for some people. Other music might evoke feelings of irritation or even anger. We’ve all experienced it, but we might not realize the effect on our entire being.

Research suggests that harmonious sound frequencies can promote healing, reduce stress, and enhance overall quality of life.

By understanding that our cells naturally vibrate, and that vibration can be impacted by vibrations in our environment, we can get a better idea of the healing power of sound. This can empower us to use our voices and other sound tools to foster physical and emotional healing.

Do this now:  Use your own voice to create a consistent vibration within your body and energy field by repeatedly toning a vowel sound such as Eh, Ah, Oh, Uh, or AUM. Play with different notes and octaves and notice where it feels best.

Watch this great demonstration of how we can heal with sound, a video with Jonathan and his wife Andi Goldman saying a few words about vibration and sacred sound. They begin a meditation at 14:26 minutes into the video that includes sounding OM. Enjoy!!
