Sonotherapy: instruments producing sounds and healing
It is often said that the practice of music is as old as humanity itself. This is not entirely false.
In fact, people all over the world have been listening to it, producing it and using it since the dawn of time (using it, yes, because of the very powerful effects it can have on us).
Sound has indeed been commonly used by different cultures as a healing tool. This is precisely what we call sonotherapy.
Considered by moderns and ancients alike, sound therapy consists of a form of meditative practice during which various musical instruments will be used for the vibrations they produce.
These vibrations, by interacting with our body, our mind and our soul, plunge us into second states (often linked to healing, but sometimes also to trance, etc.).
Sound therapy actually strives to provide its practitioners with carefully calculated sounds that will allow them to synchronize with certain vibrational modes, thus achieving the desired states of harmony and peace.
By using specific instruments, such as singing bowls, bells, tuning forks or even gongs, sound therapy can work in a more complex way than it seems, tuning harmonies, notes and tones with subtlety. that only informed practitioners can imagine.
Even though the different forms of therapy that result from all of this have proven themselves, sound healing remains a debated practice.
Research on it has therefore naturally intensified in recent years.
Who knows, with a little luck, we will soon unlock the most mysterious secrets of sound therapy!
What is sonotherapy actually based on?
Sound is a wonderful approach to therapeutic work and, unsurprisingly, its use has increased enormously in recent years.
In fact, you should know that every living being vibrates at a very specific level that we call vibration rate.
We can see this as a frequency that is unique to us and which, very complex, is also unique to us.
It is precisely on this vibration rate that sound therapy will work.
Concretely, exposure to certain types of sounds allows us to influence the frequency of our being (whether at the level of the body, organs, brain or even the aura).
With the right sounds, we can actually balance ourselves, harmonize ourselves, heal ourselves… in short, we can simply get better.
This kind of effect has actually been known for a long time.
Typically, scientists know about the "Mozart effect" which basically makes us smarter when we listen to classical music.
Farmers and peasants also know very well to what extent music and sounds have an influence on plants and the way they grow.
In short, sound therapy is something real.
Many health benefits
The sounds to which we are exposed allow us to achieve states of relaxation, calm and even sometimes trance like few things in the world are capable of.
These are not the testimonies of people who feel more relaxed, or even downright happy, after a sound therapy session.
If we think carefully, we too can find moments in our lives where music has plunged us into dazes.
By practicing “ sound baths ” (this is a form of therapy where we fully immerse ourselves in sounds), we can achieve states that help us initiate self-healing processes.
For many therapists, this type of treatment in particular would work on our subtle body.
Aura, prana, ki, chi: call it what you want, but the fact is that many people around the world are aware of this reality.
In short, it doesn't matter how it works in the end!
What matters most to us is how sound therapy can help us.
This is good, the answer to this question is actually simple: this form of care will help us in our entirety, in our complete being.
