Sound has a profound effect on how we feel, our mood, our sense of motivation and inspiration, and our energy. Imagine yourself taking a walk outdoors and suddenly hearing the sound of a nearby train, gliding over the tracks at high speed. Then as you continue your walk, you hear a high-pitch, almost musical sound and you look above and see two birds playfully flying from one tree to the next. Think of your reaction to the first sound and then to the next sound. How do you physically react and how do you feel emotionally? What thoughts go through your mind as you experience each sound?

Can you think of a song which had a powerful effect on your emotions? It's clear that sound is powerful forces in our lives.

Imagine what might be possible if you could harness that power to create a positive, healing reaction. Modern quantum science has recognized the wisdom of the ancient mystics, shamans, and alchemists; that everything, including you, is in a continual state of vibration.

Sound has been utilized in various cultures for thousands of years as a tool for healing.

Whether through the use of mantras as with the Hindus, the Icaros(medicine melodies) of various Indigenous peoples from Central and South America, or Pythagoras' use of interval and frequency, these various techniques all have the same intention: to move us from a place of imbalance to a place of balance.

An increasing number of music therapists are now treating people touched by traumas both big and small, highlighting humanity’s deepest connections with music in the process.

In the realm of healing techniques, sound work inhabits a curious space. It has been used for thousands of years—think of overtone chanting from Central Asia, for example—yet, it’s also on the frontiers of modern neuroscience.
