Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy (VST) combines music therapy with sound frequencies. VST transduces sound and music through a specially designed environment so that the sound currents, with their vibration, travel directly through the body.
It is an advanced relaxation method utilizing specially designed Therapeutic Singing bowls directly on the fully clothed body or near the body. VST is a structured modality that uses these ancient tools in a modern clinical setting. Sound and vibration can help re-tune health.
The bowls’ strong, gentle vibration, in unison with soothing tones, can resonate deeply through the body and beneath layers of tissue and muscle. When soothing, resonant sound creates deep relaxation, it affects the body at a cellular level, opening the flow of energy and helping the body align with core health. VST is considered one of the gentlest and most noninvasive forms of therapy.
This technique is wonderful for people who need to relax to desensitize their stress and anxiety but don’t want to talk about it and let the bowls do their work.
While relaxing through VST, muscle tension decreases, blood pressure goes down, the mind becomes calm and clear, and the harmful effects of prolonged stress and anxiety are counteracted. Personal transformation occurs naturally, incredibly, and amazingly.
Here are the benefits of VST:
- Quickly introducing deep meditative states
- Reducing depression and sleep issues
- Easing blockages and tension
- Brain entertainment
- Reduction in stress and anxiety
- Raising focus, concentration, and gaining a clear mind
- Calming the mind, body, and spirit in conjunction
- Stimulating life force flow in the body, improving immunity
- Heightening intuition and perception
- Boosting energy and creativity
- Synchronizing the brain hemispheres
- Removing barriers between your “Self” and your fullest expression of Love.
- Dissolving and releasing the disempowering past stories
- Aligning “Self” with “Source” so that Spirit can express through you, AS you
Neither science nor philosophy can even begin to explain how it is possible that mind, consciousness or spirit could influence matter or energy (subtle or electromagnetic). Nevertheless, the evidence is there, demanding explanation. (David Feinstein)
As I understand the concept of qi (or ki, as it’s called in Japanese), it’s not just energy. It’s really an intelligent energy, with consciousness attached to it. In other words, in Eastern philosophy, they never suffered a Cartesian split. So when they’re thinking about an energy field around the body, it’s not just physical electromagnetic or biophotonic fields, it’s imbued with mind. It’s something much more profound and not quite part of Western science. (Beverly Rubik)
Since we have consciousness, it is not unlikely, (according to the fractal nature of nature) that consciousness — a greater consciousness than ours of course, is everywhere. (Maureen Lockhart)
Ultimately, science is coming to see what mystics have been saying for millennia– the universe is one unified field of varying frequencies, the arrangement of which determines the information present. The subtle field around the body is a field of potential, energy, and information — in other words, a field of mind and consciousness.
Science currently understands how the principles of resonance and entrainment operate in music or sound therapy. It is significant to see how these principles, as a type of psycho-spiritual enhancement, can be applied for the therapeutic benefits of using Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy.
