A point of view by Danelle Wilson RN A-CLO; Owner of Comfortable Skin LLC-
The wonder of sound and how our development, growth and longevity depend on it to thrive, is astonishing. The definition of sound is vibration that travels in the air and can be HEARD!!. Hearing is key, but without it, are the vibrations still significant to our well-being? I say yes! First let me share with you some research I found on the subject of sound response.
Let's take a look 👀 at sound.
Cymatics is the science of sound made visible. In 1967 a physician published a book on the "sound wave phenomenon " documenting vibrations at different frequencies and the effects on sand. Now this was done with a tonoscope (like singing into a cardboard cylinder and the sand moves depending on pitch). The more complex the pattern the higher the frequency. We know the sand can't hear but the vibration carries a code on what to do via energy of Hertz/Hz.

Not impressed yet? Let's look at how sound affects development and growth.
Words are sound, no matter the language words are vibration. The meaning, the volume and pitch all play a part in how nature responds. First we'll observe Dr Emoto's experiment on measuring water's responds to words and prayers. For clarity water is a non living and inorganic compound but let's view results anyway.
These results represent intensions/words set to water then slowly frozen to produce crystals....aka snowflakes, with unique patterns. This proves words matter, intensions flow out your mouth and can change biology. Oh you already knew....................
Ok! Ok! Let's touch base with sound therapy with living or organic matter.
Below is a picture of the rice experiment. Rice was added into three containers (same amount), water added to cover rice and sealed closed. One container received positive words daily, the second received negative words daily and the third was left without any words. Viewing the results shows the differences in how organic cell breakdown is influenced by words. Also growth of a darkness/mold to the container that received negative words indicating more toxin growth. By the way, rice cant hear either...IJS. So vibrational frequency of the sound or intensions that your mind puts into the Universe influences well being for yourself and others. That is why we have all heard the sayings " Watch your mouth" or "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say nothing at all".
Plants also react to words. View this plants reaction to negative words.

What about sound healing...on a living being with a brain? Sound therapy is the use of vibrations or frequency which cause cells to wip themselves back into shape. Here is a link to observe how gong therapy heals the body.
Binaural beats! My last attempt to persuade you that sound affects your well-being.
Binaural beats are a perception of sound created by your brain. If you listen to two tones, each at a different frequency and each in a different ear, your brain creates an additional tone you can hear. This third tone is called a binaural beat. So basically your brain fills in a missing note that's not there to "feel whole". This missing link your brain puts into audible sound is a key to self healing. Benefits of listening to binaural beats include decreased stress and anxiety, increase concentration, focus, creativity, deep sleep and motivation. All benefits increasing longevity and peace.

If your still not astonished by the healing aspects of sound, vibration, music and energy combined, then well......my next blog will be coming soon. I will be sharing more integrative healthcare facts on music, Reiki, aryurvedic diet, chakra cleansing and balancing and more. Hopefully it will provide knowledge and ease of life's flow. Namaste 🧘🏽♀️
