Health Benefits

Sounds can heal or at least affect our health. For example, think of the impact music has on our emotions, and thus our physical health. Upbeat music prompts us to engage in physical activities such as dancing or jogging. These activities strengthen our cardiovascular systems! Conversely, a slow, relaxing melody helps us obtain much needed rest. Even deaf people are affected by music and other sounds - they respond to the vibrations thereof.

Given all this, certain sounds and tones must affect the human body in certain predictable ways. The trick is, which sounds promote healing? Are the sounds the same for each person and each ailment? My thoughts are that they are individualized and the "healer" instinctively knows which tones to use and when - much like the tones that a mother uses in communicating with her infant.
