Sound, is the echo of silence! It is a type of energy made by vibrations. When an object vibrates, it causes movement in surrounding air molecules, when air molecules vibrate and move in a pattern it is called waves, or sound waves. When a wave is created, the distance between one compression and the next compression is called the wavelength. The faster the sound waves pass a given point, the shorter the wavelength and the higher the frequency. Frequency describes the number of waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.
Frequency is expressed in units of hertz (Hz) which is equivalent to one (event) per second. The corresponding period is the time duration of one cycle in a repeating event, so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency.
Integral Sound Healing
We all like to listen to music, we all have different songs that bring us happiness, make us dance, or may make us feel nostalgic and want to retreat in silence, this is a simple proof of how sound is a non invasive tool that can alter the state of mind and the state of being on all different levels from physical, emotional to mental.
There are multiple tools used and played during a soundscape session, the healing composer is equipped with magnificent instruments from Crystal singing bowls, to ancient Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, drums, to his/her own voice, and the sounds in nature.
In theory there are 5 brainwaves:
Gamma (γ) +35Hz - Concentration, completely focused
Beta (β) 12–35Hz - Anxiety dominant, active, external attention, present chores
Alpha (α) 8–12Hz - Very relaxed, passive attention, meditation
Theta (θ) 4–8Hz - Deeply relaxed, inward focused, healing state
Delta (δ) 0.5–4Hz - Deep Sleep
Soundscape
The Therapeutic use of sound according to scientific studies and physical tests show that sound waves have a positive impact on our brainwaves, and in return sound healing has introduced an alternative therapy solution to manage a variety of health concerns that play a role in reducing anxiousness, managing pain, lowering blood pressure, and improving cognitive function. It has showcased many other benefits that are reflected on the structure of the body cells. Today, we witness multiple studies and successive research of how vibrational sound therapy can manage to treat cancer as an alternative to radiation therapy, and can help promote rejuvenation and tranquility for cancer patients.
