RELAXATION & STRESS REDUCTION

The basis of all sound healing is creating stable and consistent vibrations that entrain us into peace, so all sound healing is good for stress reduction. 

Vibroacoustic tools are especially effective because of the strength of the vibration on the body. Sound and music with consistent low frequencies dramatically lower heart and respiration rates and blood pressure to reduce stress and oxygen consumption. 

The key for ongoing stress reduction is to get the person to use sound throughout their day.  The more often they go to a place of peace and stillness, the more the body gets used to that state of being as the norm.  Therefore, it is important to show them techniques and tools they could use on their own.

There is nothing better for Relaxation and Stress Reduction than the Sound Lounge/Table.  Sound and music with consistent low frequencies dramatically lower heart and respiration rates and blood pressure to reduce stress and oxygen consumption.  Not only do the low frequencies entrain the body into a coherent peaceful state, but the music with the binaural beats also lull a person into a deep state of relaxation.  If you have anything going on emotionally, simply spend 10 minutes on the lounge/table and it will not only be gone mentally/emotionally, but will also be gone physically out of your body.

BOOSTING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

The number one thing that boosts the immune system is being at peace.  Being at peace physically, mentally, emotionally and even Spiritually is the very best for maximizing the immune response.  This allows for all organs to come back into alignment.

ANXIETY

The consistent peaceful vibrations easily overcome any anxiety, no matter how strong.  The lounges have been used with over 4000 first responders and have been proven to overcome severe anxiety.  However, if someone is really sensitive, fragile or subject to having panic attacks then the vibration could be too much.  Always test the amount of vibration and volume in the room or headphones when working with someone that is really sensitive. 

———————–

There is nothing better than sound for dealing with anxiety – this is particularly the case for panic attacks. Consistent and peaceful vibrations easily overcome any anxiety. Soft and warm, even harmonic sounds filled with love are the key.

The issue is addressed a bit differently depending on the level of anxiety and the person.  A person having a panic attack is extremely sensitive, whereas a first responder in a crisis might not be so fragile. 

It is critical to be really careful when working with people who are prone to panic attacks.  Use warm sounds and even harmonic calming sounds.  No gongs.  Even crystal bowls can be too much.  Use soft volumes.  Sound lounges/tables can even be too much. Always ask the individual you’re working with to let you know if a sound is too much and pay close attention to any reactions they exhibit during the session. 

It is also critical to never have someone make the sound of how they are feeling if they have been having panic attacks.

There are so many people who are suffering intense fear and suffering and the only help they know of is drugs. –  And, the drugs ultimately create a deficiency in the system that then make the panic attacks worse.

Treatments include any consistent sounds, going to the home note, slow fades, and positive intentions.  Here are some more specific techniques for those that aren’t extremely sensitive:

Listen to relaxing music
Do some testing to find the music that really works for them.  Help them put together a playlist of songs they can listen to on their own. 

Play an instrument that sustains
Play a crystal bowl. Tone with it if you like. Be sure to hold the silence for at least five minutes after the bowl fades out.

Make sound both for them and on them
If they can handle it, have them also to toning, chants, and mantras per day.  See if they are willing to do it as homework.

Send love to the heart
Teaching your client how to send the sound of love their own heart is beautiful.  Generally, it comes out as a really soft, sweet sound – sometimes even as a song.  When helping others with this technique, I will actually sing along with them softly.

To really help anchor this energy of love so it can be easily accessed, I will sometimes listen for what note the person goes to when they start singing.  This is most likely the key of love for that person.  When this happens, I will often then create a CD in that key (I have a few of my songs in every key).  I tell them to sing along with the CD and send love to their heart whenever they are feeling anxious.

Do a chakra treatment
I have also found that using sound on chakras will get rid of a panic attack completely.  Let me say this again a little bolder:

Using sound on chakras gets rid of panic attacks

I explain a technique in detail for doing a sound treatment on the chakras in Chapter 56, The Sound of Chakras.

Instruments on the body
They help bring you back into your body.  Bringing awareness to the physical body can be extremely helpful as it gets them out of the head.

• Use tuning forks on the spine, chest and feet. If you know the specific acupuncture points, put the forks on the appropriate ones.  I recommend lower frequency forks below 120 hertz for this.

• Sound lounges / tables – Sound tables with the right music are extremely effective for diminishing anxiety. The lounges have been used for First Responders and have been proven to overcome severe anxiety. 

Once you get a person into a place of peace, it may be effective to start to look at ways to use sound to deal with specific triggers.  We cover many techniques in Chapter 62, Holding Frequency. It is always important to gauge whether the individual is ready and willing to face their triggers.  If a person is very fragile, they very likely may not have the capacity yet.

My favorite technique is to imagine that the anxiety is completely gone forever.  What would it feel like.  Then, make the sound of that feeling. 

From a higher perspective, you are not the anxiety. Identify with something that is a stable and consistent peaceful vibration such as your Soul, Spirit or Point of Awareness.  Then you are at peace separate from the anxiety.

DEPRESSION

The consistent peaceful vibrations easily overcome any anxiety, no matter how strong.  The lounges have been used with over 4000 first responders and have been proven to overcome severe anxiety.  However, if someone is really sensitive, fragile or subject to having panic attacks then the vibration could be too much.  Always test the amount of vibration and volume in the room or headphones when working with someone that is really sensitive. 

———————-

The key to treatments for depression is activation.  However, if you start with activating sounds or music, it can be too much for the individual to handle.  Ideally, the best approach is to match your client’s energy and gradually transform to complete activation.  Take your time in the transforming process – anywhere between ten to twenty minutes.  

Music can be very helpful for treating depression.  The CDs/downloads that I have that suit this specific need are the following: Anti-Depressant, Depression Relief and Low Mood.  Here’s the link to listen to Low Mood: https://SoundHealingCenter.com/store/mus/LowMood4.mp3

You can also help them create a playlist of their favorite activating songs to use.

Anything that gets them moving their body is helpful, especially playing an instrument. Drums and gongs are especially activating.

Sounds on the body can be profoundly effective at breaking up depressive energy.  I believe it is best to play as strong of vibrations on the body as they can handle to get them going.

Finding the cause of the depression itself can also be helpful.  Making the sound of how it feels can help empower them.  It is important to be delicate in these cases, as there could be a serious trauma that has contributed to the depression.  As always, if over your head, get help.

Have your client imagine what it would be like to never be depressed again, and make the sound of it.

GRIEF

The consistent peaceful vibrations easily overcome any anxiety, no matter how strong.  The lounges have been used with over 4000 first responders and have been proven to overcome severe anxiety.  However, if someone is really sensitive, fragile or subject to having panic attacks then the vibration could be too much.  Always test the amount of vibration and volume in the room or headphones when working with someone that is really sensitive.  

—————————

There are two types of grief that are dealt with differently:  the kind of grief where the person is not feeling anything, and the kind where they are stuck in it over a long period of time.

If someone has just had a major loss, I feel that is best to not do anything to help them ‘get over it.’   I think it is better to just resonate the sadness at that point.  You can talk to them about where they are headed, which I believe is gratitude. 

If they are shut down though, you can do a series of exercises to get them comfortable making sound.  Then work with them to make the sound of the grief.

If they have been grieving over a person for a really long time, have them bring up all the things about the person they are grateful for.  From there, have them make the sound of that gratitude. Let them know they have the power to shift the grief to gratitude whenever they feel it has been going on too long.

I also like to create a letting go ceremony with sound that ends in perfect stillness.  It’s not only OK, it’s perfect.

ANGER

The consistent peaceful vibrations easily overcome any anxiety, no matter how strong.  The lounges have been used with over 4000 first responders and have been proven to overcome severe anxiety.  However, if someone is really sensitive, fragile or subject to having panic attacks then the vibration could be too much.  Always test the amount of vibration and volume in the room or headphones when working with someone that is really sensitive.

————–

You would think that screaming out your anger with a gong might be the best.  However, the latest in anger therapies show that it can just bring it up and resonate it.  When I make the sound of anger, I then start thinking about all the things I am angry about.  Yet, if a person is feeling disempowered and is afraid to express themselves, screaming might just be the remedy.

The key is to then move to a higher emotion such as gratitude or love. Sending the sound of love to whom or what you are upset with can be very effective in overcoming the anger. 

 I believe the number one antidote for anger is compassion.  We discuss how to do compassion and its sound in Chapter 62.  A fellow sound healer feels that the antidote is going into love and light.  She believes it is really hard to mitigate anger when operating from a 3D perspective.  Therefore, the more you can get someone who is angry into compassion or love and light the better.  Often from this perspective anger no longer makes sense.

Of course, there are times when it is important to set boundaries.  I really like the practice of telling my clients, Imagine you have a tiger attacking you and you have the power with your voice to stop it in its tracks.  You’re not going to hurt the kitty.  You are only going to set boundaries.  Now, on three (which is always four), scream, ‘No’ with full power.  I then demonstrate, warning them beforehand that I’m going to get really loud).  Then, I have them do it.  To be in your power but not above them where you are upset or angry at all.

I then have them send love, while screaming no.  This can be quite difficult actually.  I imagine the boundaries at my solar plexus, while the love is coming from heart at the same time. I then demonstrate, and then have them practice doing it.

I let them know that that is their homework.  If ever not feeling good enough, let out a really loud and powerful, No!

TRAUMA AND PTSD

Ed Rupert uses the Sound Lounge for First Responders who are in crisis in Colorado.  Ed has contracts with over 75% of the Police and Fire Stations in Colorado.  If anyone has a crisis (like about to commit suicide) Ed brings the Sound Lounge out in a van and puts them on it.  He has now saved 150 lives in the last year.  Because of this, the lounges are now being placed in over 75 ER units throughout Colorado.

One of our students is using the Sound Lounge for PTSD treatments in the VA hospital in Sacramento, California and has had practically a 100% success rate in dramatically transforming the PTSD.

———-

When working with any trauma or PTSD, it is critical to be very careful not to re-trigger the trauma.  The answers to intake questions can give you a good idea of how ready someone is to dive in.  For example, someone may not at all be ready to make the sound of the trauma, whereas others might finally be ready to do so. 

Maybe all you do for many (or all) sessions get them to a peaceful place.  Those with serious trauma often don’t know how to relax.

No matter what, it is critical to develop a connection and trust with the person you’re working with.  This can be done through discussion around the intake questions.  This can also be done by starting with a sound journey to get them to a still point. 

Some patients you work with may be completely shut down emotionally.  In this case, you might spend quite a few sessions doing call and response exercises to get them comfortable making sound. After that, work up to having them make the sound of how they are feeling in the moment.  Demonstrate yourself first.  Then, once you have developed a good rapport, you might slowly delve into expressing the feelings behind the trauma with sound.  Proceed with caution.

At this point, it is also good to use sound desensitizing techniques where you make stable and consistent sounds of peace and harmony while focusing on the trauma.  Chapter 62 on Holding Frequency covers this in detail.

I have found that sound on the body is extremely effective.

Ed Rupert in Colorado (at www.911OverWatch.org) uses the sound lounge for First Responders who are in crisis.  Ed has contracts with over 75% of the police and fire stations in Colorado.  If anyone has a crisis (e.g. is on the verge of committing suicide), Ed brings the Sound Lounge out on a van and lays them on it.  Since he began using the sound lounge, he has now saved over 300 lives.

One of our students uses the sound lounge for PTSD treatments in the VA hospital in Sacramento, California and has had practically a 100% success rate in transforming PTSD.

Tuning forks or Tibetan bowls on the body could be just as effective at facilitating this shift.

Seeing trauma from a different (cognitive) or higher perspective (Spiritual) is the ultimate answer.  You could help them rewrite the story.  Ultimately, you are not the trauma. You are a stable consistent vibration.

ADD & ADHD

Music has been proven to enhance intelligence, learning and IQ, reading and literary skills, spatial-temporal reasoning, mathematical abilities, emotional intelligence, memory performance, concentration and attention.  Tuning the music to a person’s natural brainwave rhythms when they are at rest make the brainwave entrainment even more effective.

As discussed in detail in the Brainwave Section, tuning binaural beats in beta to a person is extremely effective for the most common type of ADD referred to as Classic ADD.  I assume it would be helpful for the other types but it would be nice to do some detailed research. Here’s the list of ADD types:

• Classic ADD
• Inattentive ADD
• Over-focused ADD
• Temporal Lobe ADD
• Limbic ADD
• Anxious ADD
• Ring of Fire ADD (ADD Plus)

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

Brain injuries create chaotic rhythms across the brain.  Tuning the music and Binaural Beat brainwave rhythms to the natural rhythm of the person’s brain’s before the injury has been incredibly effective in getting the brain back to its own natural healthy consistent rhythm — dramatically increasing recovery time.  Doing a Brainwave Assessment then playing music on the Sound Lounge/Table for each of the brainwave states of Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma tuned to the person is one of the best ways to get the person back to where they can focus and enjoy smooth flow of energy through the brain.

STROKE

The Sound Therapy Center has had amazing results just by putting individuals on the Sound Lounge/Table who have had strokes.

The Sound Lounge/Table is the best for restoring flow through the whole nervous system and brain.  Music tuned to you is the best way to get the brain back into its natural, consistent rhythm.

ADDICTION

Getting someone to a place of peace and stillness is the most important aspect of working with addiction.  Since, the person you’re working with might be anxious or quite fragile, pay close attention to what music or sounds work best.  Getting them to play instruments is always good, too. 

Having the individual express emotions with sound can be really transformative.  Often those dealing with addiction have guilt that needs to be released.

We have found that getting them in their body with sounds is the most effective tool of all.  The sound lounges/tables have been dramatically effective for recovery in many rehab centers.

Brainwave Entrainment tuned to them can overcome the chaotic vibrations in the brain.

Many believe addiction is a reaction to a loss of a connection to Spirit.  The individual is just bored to death.  Any way you can lead them into the realm of love and light can be the ultimate transformation.  

They might even be interested in creating a new lifestyle around working with sound.

DEMENTIA

There are two different approaches based on the stage of the dementia. 

Beginning Stages
Find the music and instrument sounds they loved and love now.  Try a full range of sounds and sound healing music and see how they respond. It is well known that playing music they loved in their earlier years can wake them up, but there are also many sound healing CDs they might just love. 

In the early stages of dementia, the goal is activation in order to create more blood flow to the brain.  This can mean finding the most activating sounds and music that they can handle.  Of course, be careful not to overwhelm them. 

The truth is any sounds or music they love are good.  Take detailed notes.

Playing an instrument is the ideal way to activate the brain.  Again, watch closely to see what instruments they gravitate towards.

Sound on the body can be really important for getting them into the present moment.  Even, just tuning forks on the bottom of the feet can help.  Again, watch what works while they are in the early stages.

Teach them how to communicate non-verbally with sound.  You might have to do quite a lot of call and response before you can get them to make the sound of how they feel.

Later Stages
Now that you have watched closely in the early stages, you now know what to use for the later stages whether it be applying sounds, music, playing sounds on the body, and so forth.  And, now they know how to communicate without words.

If you didn’t have the opportunity to work with them in the earlier stages, still find what works the best and take really good notes.

Binaural beats tuned to the person could be the most effective of all.  The tricky part is getting them to listen long enough.

Ultimately, with some research, we should know precisely what frequencies will melt the plaque in the brain that is causing the dementia.  The potential is huge.

AUTISM

The level on the spectrum determines the type of treatment you do.  Often, those high on the spectrum can be hyper-sensitive and cannot handle hardly any sounds. Pay close attention at all times to see if the sounds are triggering someone.

The first step is to find music and sounds they love.  Do a short test of any sound before launching into a session.

Jeffrey Thompson’s research shows that Brainwave Entrainment tuned to them is the most effective.

Sound on the body can be incredibly effective if the individual can handle it.

Using non-verbal communication to mirror their emotions can be very helpful.  If high on the spectrum, the goal is to establish an emotional connection without using any words.

CANCER

Of course, we (or you) can never claim that something as inexpensive as sound could actually cure a disease.  However, there are so many stories to share from people that have had cancer completely disappear and go into remission and never return from these kinds of practices.

You can work with sound emotionally or physically.  The potential in the near future to explode cancer cells with sound looks extremely promising.  In fact, we are on the threshold. 

As previously mentioned, you can use sound to explode cells by matching and transmitting a sound at a loud volume to the cell.  As mentioned, this technique requires technology since the voice is not loud enough to create destructive resonance

The best approach with the voice is to create binaural beats around the core frequency of the disease in order to break it up or destroy the cells.  As previously discussed, in order to break glass with sound, you match the glass’ frequency with the voice, then go up and down just above and below it (vibrato works for this as well).  The difference frequency between your voice and wine glass breaks the glass.

Using this technique has proven to be effective for many.

Let me tell this story in more detail.  One of our previous instructors at the Institute had a tumor in her breast that was about a millimeter in diameter.  She decided to go to the woods for a month and work on the tumor.  She focused her voice on the tumor and when she hit the right frequency, she felt the tumor heating up.  She then intuitively moved her voice up and down, above and below the frequency that was causing the tumor to heat up.  She also had her friend play the didgeridoo right on her tumor.  The didgeridoo also has a frequency that goes up and down a bit – particularly when the player produces a growling sound. 

A couple of months after her excursion, she went in for surgery.  Before surgery they did another x-ray. The doctor then told her that something was wrong with the x-ray machine and they had to perform another x-ray.  The doctor then came back and said that there was no sign of the tumor – it was completely gone.  As of the date of the writing of this book, the tumor has been gone for over ten years now.

I used to get treatments from this psychic who was really powerful.  She would mentally go inside my body and take out stuck energy.  One day I asked her, What the hell are you doing in there?   She said that she could see the stuck energy as a frequency, and that she would “rock it” loose.  Again, it occurred to me that she was do a small frequency sweep up and down, above and below the frequency of the stuck energy.

These are just three pieces of evidence, including the science on how sound explodes a wine glass with binaural beats, that point to binaural beats breaking up diseases and stuck energy.

Therefore, the key is to first find the frequency of the object or body part, and then simply go up and down in pitch, above and below this frequency.  If you can sing with vibrato that will work also (in fact, the actual speed of the vibrato might also have to do with it).  Additionally, don’t forget to ask for help from higher powers (if appropriate) and set your intention for the treatment to work. 

Another well-known sound healer in the field claims that simply playing each of the notes in an octave will break up certain diseases.  He says that cancer cells are very brittle because they have lost their elasticity and flexibility.  Therefore, the sound frequencies simply break the cells up as they hit the resonant frequencies of the cells.  He also has photographs of cancer cells being destroyed by these sounds.

Anthony Holland did a Ted Talk where he shows four different types of cancer being exploded with frequencies.
Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w0_kazbb_

However, in this case, he is only destroying the cancer cells on average about 40% of the time.  I believe if we were to use the Raman Spectroscopy electron microscope, we could find the entire harmonic content of a cell and explode the cancer cells 100% of the time.

I really believe this is the future of medicine – 100% effective treatments without side effects. 

Although destroying cancer cells with sound is light years better than radiation or chemotherapy, we are still not focusing on the cause of the cancer.  As we have previously discussed, the cause of most disease is likely emotional issues.  Therefore, the important work is emotional.

I have come to believe (but don’t know for certain) that most cancer is caused by disempowerment.  The number one cause of this being fear.  Therefore, I commonly have people do the No exercise we discussed earlier.  They can set boundaries against the lower emotions that are causing the turmoil.  They could just set boundaries against fear itself with a really loud, No. 

One woman I worked with said she was doing fine with the cancer.  The problem was that everyone around was freaking out.  So, we did the exercise and set boundaries for everyone else’s fear. 

Ultimately, I believe all healing will focus on raising a person’s consciousness so that the diseases do not happen in the first place.
