Sound Healing Schools and Careers Guide
What is sound healing ?
Sound healing uses toning, chanting, or vibrations from the voice or instruments to stimulate the body's own ability to heal itself. Sound healing and music boost are known to boost the immune system, regulate respiration, lower blood pressure, alleviate pain, reduce stress, and promote endurance. Practitioners work with the belief that each cell in the body is a sound resonator and has its own pulse, pattern and cycle. Recently new sound therapies have been developed based upon the theories of acupuncture, where sound is used to stimulate certain points on the body.
How is sound healing practiced?
Sound or music therapy has been used by health professionals in private practice, hospitals, schools, nurseries, birthing centers, hospices, and psychotherapeutic settings. The type of sound and technique varies by training and the practitioner's professional background.
What sound healing degrees or certificates are available?
Some schools have music therapy degrees, and other schools have practitioner certificate training programs. Many other healing arts programs include elements of sound in their curriculum. Master's degrees are required from those practitioners trained in music therapy or counseling education.
