Body Mind Healing: What is Sound and Vibrational Healing?
Posted by admin on Mar 13, 2009
To help us attain and mantain body mind healing, we must consider sound and vibration. We are vibrational beings at our very core. For many thousands of years, in every culture around the world, sound has had tremendous significance when used to transform conciousness.
As explained by the Sound Healing Network, sound healing can be defined as the intentional use of sound or music to bring about enhanced states of wellness in our physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual being.
As a vibrational therapy, sound healing can be considered energy medicine. After World War II, health benefits to the patients in Veterans hospitals lead this type of therapy to be taken seriously, and studied. Soon it became formalized as a complimentary form of medicinal practice. This form of body mind healing is diverse, making it’s acceptance and the amount of research done varied. Musical therapy has basically been accepted among traditional medical practioners.
Very interestingly, sound healing is one of the new “crazes” in the alterantive and complimentary medicinal world. Sound healing therapies are being incorporated more and more, making this an exciting time in medicine. Practitioners are utilizing traditional massage, reiki, acupuncture, shamanism, nutrition, psychology, and standard medical practices.
Sound therapy is used for a variety of physiological and psychological reasons. Physical conditions that are treated include the pain during labor, muscle and joint pains, like arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, soft tissue damage, and cancers. Mental issues like anxiety and depression cannot be dismissed. Most or all of these physical conditions can and usually do create psychological problems that can further perpetuate an ailment.
Because the therapies of treatment for sound and vibration cover a wide spectrum, the choices one has for treatment and costs are many. Some therapies can even be done at home, such as using audiotapes or compact discs that use special frequencies or music that are designed for conditions ranging from very serious illnesses like HIV and AIDS to problems with weight. Many of these audio recordings target both the emotional and physical aspects of these conditions.
The costs for some of these will vary. But many can be found for just a few dollars. I personally own a few which are great and I love listening to them before I sleep each night. I grabbed them from a place near the Pike Place Market called “Eco Elements”. However, they can be puchased online and this way, you can do a little research and have some understanding as to what they do and the body mind healing benefits to them.

As late as 2002, healing therapies like sound and music were not being covered by most health plans. However, there are some sound therapies being used and integrated into various treatments for a host of conditions. One article reported a heart surgeon saying, “Any surgeon not using music (therapy) in the operating room, is simply being negligent,”. His feeling and experience of this has been because of the therapy being extemely effective in his patients recovery.
It’s safe to say that sound and music therapies for body mind healing is here to stay. No longer a distant, ancient form of medicine, thought to be merely superstition, this healing practice has proven itself to be a vital force in helping a person’s capacity for total body mind healing.
