We live immersed in a world of sound and vibrations.

The sound, through the centuries, has become music throughout the land, with the understanding and knowledge of healing with sound in Oriental, nomadic and indigenous West cultures.

Whoever knows the mystery of sound, may know the mystery of the universe and have access to the music of the spheres. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)

Healing is posible to every human being, is in each of us. There's vibration in everything around us.The sound will affect us for good or evil according to the law of resonance: where the strongest vibration will make the weakest one vibrate until both are in the same frequency.

Depression, sadness and disease are low vibrating and inconsistent frequencies. Joy, love and health are high vibrating and steady frequencies.

Man's nature is to look for where he belongs. Until you find that place, you will not be in the peace that you yearn for. The way that man can find his own place is by intonating his instrument (himself) to the key of the chord to which it belongs. (Hazrat Inayat Khan)

It is necessary to make a study of ourselves to find who we really are, beyond our education, family or socioeconomic status.

Sound is a very helpful tool, because once we've calmed the incessant activity of the mind, which does not allow us to hear the voice of our being, the right hemisphere begins to function with greater emphasis, which helps important subconscious information to be manifested in a conscious way on the left hemisphere, causing both hemispheres work at the same time to heal past situations (both emotional, mental and sentimental ),entering the spiritual realm.

Shamanic traditions, Buddhist chants, Mongols, etc. what they do is going straight to the right brain through repetitive sounds and songs that don't have an articulated common language, to access the deeper layers of the subconscious.

This is just one of the many areas in which sound can help us heal.

Listening to music is good for the heart

Hang Drum Music

"Now a study has found that in fact music can strengthen the heart - and improve the recovery of patients suffering from heart disease.

Cardiologists said the findings suggested that all people could boost the health of their hearts simply by listening to their favourite tunes.
Patients with cardiac disease were divided into three groups. Some were enrolled in exercise classes for three weeks.
Others were put in the same classes, but also told to listen to music of their choice at any point for 30 minutes every day. A third group only listened to music, and did not take cardio-vascular exercise, which is usually prescribed to those with heart disease.
At the end of the trial, the patients who had listened to music as well as exercising had boosted crucial measures of heart function significantly, and improved their exercise capacity by 39 per cent.
The group which only took aerobic exercise improved their capacity by 29 per cent. Even those who took no exercise and only listened to their favourite music for half an hour a day improved their exercise function by 19 per cent, the study of 74 patients found."
