SOUND THERAPY: Taking a Holistic Approach to Life

Most ancient civilizations used the powerful benefit of sound and vibration. They composed music based on the perfect mathematical proportions that can be found in the construction of many sacred temples, space and time. You can tune yourself to the perfect rhythm by opening your inner ear to the healing music. It also cures sicknesses. In Egypt, when priests sing hymns to the Gods they sing the seven vowels in due succession and the sound has such euphony that men listen to it instead of the flute and the lyre. The Egyptians believed that vowel sounds were sacred, so much so that their written hieroglyphic language contains no vowels. We can, therefore, assume that vowel sound mantra carried a powerful connotation for their priests. 

In modern times, we are aware that the hypotenuse of such a triangle is a vital concept relating directly to the question of harmony. And anything we say about harmony is associated first and foremost with sound. This innate frequency can be therapeutic. It is so called sound therapy. It can be described as the frequency of vibration that is most natural to a specific organ or system such as the heart, liver or lungs. All cells radiate sound as a consequence of their metabolic processes. There is an interaction between the cells own sounds and those imposed by the environment, including those applied by sound healing devices. 

High frequency sounds trigger the brain and affect cognitive functions such as thinking, spatial perception and memory. Listening to these sounds increases our attentiveness and concentration.

Sound can set a mood. In other words, some sounds simply make us feel better than others. Whether our conscious minds are paying attention or not, our bodies take their cues from these sounds and rhythms, knowing when to get energized and when to slow down. According to research, sound can also help us reduce stress, create a deep sense of well-being and even promote healing.

Holistic medicine nurtures a cooperative relationship among all those involved, leading towards optimal attainment of the physical, mental emotional, social and spiritual aspects of health. Taking a holistic approach involves seeking the tools that will help us attract our desires and find personal power.

Sound therapy is definitely the cutting edge of healing like yoga and meditation. The fact is, we are already using sound therapy in our life. So even if you’re not interested in spending in a singing bowl, sound healing is still available to you. Go for a walk and enjoy nature’s own healing harmonies or better yet close your eyes, relax and listen to this amazing binaural beat pure tone from us.

HOW SELF HEALING CAN REDUCE YOUR STRESS AND ANXIETY

A lot of stress and anxiety comes from a lot of runaway thoughts due to a given problem, or a collective of them, be it at home or the office or wherever. And how does one effectively relieve stress and anxiety? Are all these all in your head? How will you cope? Did you know that you can use your mind to fully utilize your innate healing power?

Tap the power of self-healing. You are born with a powerful ability to heal.

Every day we always experience different circumstances that will either help us motivate our being or the other way around due to a stressful day. If your day is full pleasure and excitement, you have all the reason to be thankful because it will add more meaning to your life and the reason to live. But if your day is the other way around, full of anxiety and stress, well, let me tell you this. It’s time for you to take a deep breath and relax, because at the end of the day you are responsible of your own actions, actions that will either benefit your health or turn it for the worst ruin — your health that can lead to sickness.

According to Jay Winner, MD, author of Take the Anxiety Out of Your Life and director of the Stress Management Program for Sansum Clinic in Santa Barbara, California, anxiety doesn't only make us feel awful emotionally, it can also exacerbate just about any health condition you can think of.

Studies have found many health problems connected to anxiety. It can worsen or increase the risk of conditions like heart diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, gastrointestinal problems, depression, obesity, headaches, diabetes and asthma. Anxiety is somehow a part of our daily routine and we can’t deny it nor avoid it. There are many reasons why we get stressed. It could be your boss, work load, office mates, clients, deadlines, overdue loans, mortgage, etc. But you have to remember the reasons why we work so hard. And that is to earn money for our family and future plans. That's just one of the reasons why we continue to strive and do what we do on a daily basis. Work hard and hope for a better tomorrow.

Here are some aid tips that can help reduce your anxiety and lower your health risks.

1. Learn how to manage life’s unavoidable stresses. Inhale and exhale, take a deep breathe, relax once and a while and think of the reasons for your existence.

2. Live one day at a time and eat healthy food.

3. Keep calm and do some exercises and focus on the positive side.

4. Listen to inspirational songs and music that can help boost your being and can help you motivate to do well remember music can change your mood.

5. Look at that time as an opportunity and be thankful for the opportunity to work and to live.

7. Take some time to meditate and practice sound therapy

Dreams vs. Video Games As Alternate Realities

According to a psychologist named Jayne Gackenbach, people who played immersive video games were more likely to report lucid dreams. Gamers never had dream control over anything beyond their dream selves but they also were able to change perspectives from first person to observer as if floating outside of their body. They didn’t code nightmares as “threatening.” Rather, they seemed to be having fun with dream situations that non-gamers coded as nightmares.

Psychologists consider nightmares as one of the symptoms of PTSD, and studies have shown incredibly high rates of nightmares ranging from 71 to 96 percent among PTSD patients. By contrast, just 3 to 5 percent of civilians reported the same levels of nightmares.

Virtual reality simulators have already been used to help PTSD patients gradually adjust to the threatening situations that plague their waking and sleeping thoughts.

But do video games affect your ability to lucid dream? Can lucid dreaming be inspired by video games? Is there any correlation between the two?

Since then, any time a dream has become frightening, the fear has triggered a lucid state. It always follows the same pattern:

· Something in the dream causes fear

· The fear makes you lucid

· You may shout "this is my dream!"

The lucidity allows you to overcome the fear.

Whatever you do during the day can become the kindling for dreams you have at night. Have you ever spent a lot of the day doing a particular activity, and then found yourself doing the same thing in your dream? What if that activity was a type of virtual reality? Would that virtual reality become your dream reality?

No matter what we do in the game, we're still sitting in a comfortable couch in a warm house. The reinforcement that nothing can actually hurt us can transfer into our dream world, transforming our nightmares into lucid dreams.

Finding’s shows how hardcore gaming affects the gamer's experience and reaction to nightmares. They grow resistant to them, in the sense that bad dreams aren't as likely to wake them up, and gamers are more likely to take control of them as a lucid main character and, perhaps, even find them enjoyable. This has rolled over into a theory that gaming can have an effect in dealing with real-life waking threats, as well.

The distinction with between Reality, Virtual Reality, and Lucid Dreams are becoming harder to distinguish. However what is present in all of them is that the brain is a remarkable tool and we are only just beginning to understand its potential. Games have provided Gamers with an introduction into alternative realities allowing Gamers this extra special skill for Lucid Dreaming, as their mind has already been trained to understand that multiple realities can exist at once. How will these new Realities change the world we live in?

If you are new to lucid dreaming or would like to give it a try check out this 8 Hour Lucid Dreaming Track that you play as you fall asleep to induce a Lucid Dream.
