The Healing Power of Sound
Posted by: | Comments“‘Binaural beats’ ease stress–and help protect your health,” reads the blurb in a newsletter I find reputable, Bottom Line Health. Dr. Jeffrey D.Thompson, a chiropractic physician and the founder and director of the Center for Neurocoustic Research in Carlsbad, California affirms what Dr. Alex Loyd teaches about The Healing Codes: that “stress is often at the root of health problems ranging from headaches and heart disease to depression and diabetes.” Dr. Thompson says that “listening to therapeutic sound often works better than many commonly used stress-fighting techniques.”
Scientific Proof?
The article stated that a number of studies have found that binaural beats–a technology that synchronizes brain waves with an externally introduced sound that pulses at a particular frequency—has therapeutic effects. (Binaural beats are an intrinsic part of The Immune System Master Key, by the way.) The article cites the following benefits:
- Deeper sleep. A 2014 German study found that 15 people who listened to binaural beats during sleep had deeper sleep, felt more refreshed when they woke up and had less sleepiness during the day.
- Less anxiety. A study of 108 people about to have surgery showed a 26% reduction in anxiety from listening to binaural beats–more than twice as much as the anxiety reduction in people who listened to the same music without binaural beats.
- Better focus and mood. Duke University Medical Center did a study of 29 people and found that those who listened to binaural beats developed more focus (and a better mood) than those who did not.
- More creativity. A study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience reported that 24 people listening to binaural beats had an improvement in “divergent thinking”–the ability to come up with creative ideas.
