Doctors are translating the work of a number of sound therapy practitioners including Mitchell Gaynor, M.D., director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Strang-Cornell Cancer Prevention Center, and author of the book, Sounds of Healing, into medical practice with good results.
Among the well-known practitioners of sound therapy who use sounds to promote healing at the cellular level are Sir Peter Guy Manners, M.D., an English osteopath, and Jeffrey Thompson, D.C.
Every particle in the Universe vibrates. As particles vibrate, it produce sound; though we may not hear it as it may be below or above the threshold of our hearing which between 20 and 20,000 cycles per second. Notwithstanding, our body do perceive and respond to sound via our skin.
Scientific studies show that sound influences our bodily functions including our endocrine, circulatory, metabolic and immune systems. Sound and music are now widely used to reduce stress and pain, promote deep relaxation, improve learning and positive affirmation. Doctors throughout the world use ultra sound as a diagnostic tool for fetal development, to clear clogged arteries and to break up kidney stones.
In the book, The Role of Music in the Twenty-First Century, Fabian Maman describes the effects of sound on cancer cells, and proves that when an organ or body part is not healthy, it creates a vibration that is not harmony with the rest of the body: dis-ease. When sound is projected into the dis-eased area, correct harmonic patterns are restored.
Traditionally, Tibetan singing bowls including mantra and chanting have been used by healers to aid common folks with are not well, i.e. the body suffer from dis-ease.
Quartz crystal singing bowls including bowls made from certain metallic alloys have been found to be very effective in influencing bodily functions and our consciousness. Vibrations from singing bowls slow down the respiratory, brain and heart rate, creating a deep sense of well being. The sounds emitted from these bowls also purify spaces by removing negative energies in buildings and objects.
Scientists recognized that quartz maintain the balance of electromagnetic energies enabling it to regulate timekeeping systems. The same electromagnetic field exists within us. Sounds produced by quartz crystals hence balance the electromagnetic energies in our bodies.
