What is Sound Therapy?
Sound Therapy is a gentle and powerful restorative practice where the audience relaxes in close proximity to carefully chosen acoustic instruments such as Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, the voice, and percussion. The calming eect of these sounds on the brain, nervous system and heart, stimulates the immune system, soothes erratic thoughts and supports meditation.
Sound Therapy for the Classroom
We propose including Sound Therapy in the growing healing- centered engagement movement in today's schools. Sound can complement all group activities to create a mindful atmosphere for discussion and learning, or serve as standalone therapy. The ideal is to provide sessions for three classes weekly at the school (s) of your choice with a seven- part series for each class. The program can be multiplied according to the need. Yet another option is to include Sound Therapy in a for students with behavioral and academic challenges, who will bene{t from positive psychology instead of strict discipline.
The Benefits
It's been said that Sound is the Medicine of the Future. Sound vibrations can tune the nervous system, cleanse the mind, stimulate our energetic force-field, diminish stress, heighten awareness, strengthen the auto-immune system, liberate the voice, promote deep listening, provide support for meditation and raise consciousness.
