Sound therapy, or music, however you wish to refer to it, has really been used in medicine for thousands of years by various different cultures.
Ancient Greek philosophers believed that sound could heal both their physical body as well as their soul; Egyptian priests cleared their chakras (energy centers) using vowel sounds and Native Americans chanted and sang as part of their rituals for healing.
Here, in the United States, a more formal approach to sound therapy began in World War II when United States Veterans Administration hospitals started to incorporate music as part of their treatment program to help treat soldiers suffering from shell shock.
It was toward the end of World War II, 1944, when Michigan State University established the first music therapy degree program in the world. This validated the fact that sound therapy, so often used in the past, was a possible form of treatment for all kinds of diseases and issues: PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Sound, as a form of healing, has been an intimate part of almost every culture on earth and is actually considered the oldest form of healing. It wasn’t until recently though that sound began to be used at Universities, within the field of Vibrational Medicine, in research medical programs. Of course, we have only recently learned, or rather come to accept, that Vibrational Medicine is indeed the next phase in Western Medicine.
Sound therapy is not new, it has been around for decades, years, millennia – probably since time began – even Mom’s hum to their babies to ease pain and distress. Mom’s just know that inherently – and it seems to work.
Sound Therapy is an option that has both been proven to have a helpful effect on patients and is considered a safe Complementary treatment to all conventional and holistic therapies by the American Cancer Society.
Doesn’t that speak loudly?
I think it does.
I’ve provided sound therapy presentations and demonstrations for many groups, clubs, and organizations, including the American Cancer Society. To me, this is a huge endorsement.
It’s good to know that research continues and is supported for such a promising area of Vibrational Medicine by such a highly regarding and reputable organization as the American Cancer Society.
