EPISODE 136
This is Part 1 of a 2-part sound healing podcast series on the power of sound healing therapies. aka vibrational medicine and sound medicine. In this blog post I will expand on the topic by answering the questions, “Does sound healing work?” and “What does sound healing do?” I will also spell out some of the benefits of sound healing that sound healing therapists and researchers have found in their work with vibrational medicine and sound medicine.
I encourage you to download this sound healing podcast episode and my next one as I share my experience of over nine sessions with a sound therapist I met while I was living on Cape Cod (she’s from Providence Rhode Island) on a sabbatical I took from my home in Colorado.
Here’s a little bit about my sound healing practitioner, just to get an idea about how some practitioners have been trained:
Ceciley Slocum is a certified practitioner of Biofield Tuning (taught by Eileen Day McKusick), Usui Reiki Level III healer, and a graduate of the Shamanic Four Winds Society (Light Body School) with Alberto Villoldo, Marcela Lobos, & the Q’ero Shamans
She is a former licensed massage therapist (graduating from The Muscular Therapy Institute/Cortiva, in Boston, MA in 2006) & Level 1 CranioSacral practitioner

Introduction: Does Sound Healing Work?:

In holistic wellness, a few modalities, like sound healing, have captured the attention and curiosity. Often met with a blend of skepticism and fascination, this ancient practice harnesses the power of sound vibrations to catalyze transformative shifts in physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In this two-part sound healing podcast series, (Here’s PART 2) we embark on a journey into sound healing therapies, also known as vibrational medicine, to uncover its effectiveness, array of benefits, and the scientific foundation underpinning its profound impact.
Part 1: Unveiling the Efficacy of Sound Healing: A Vibrational Odyssey
Sound healing therapies, encompassing diverse methods such as tuning forks, singing bowls, gong baths, and chanting, have earned a revered place in alternative wellness practices. However, the central question lingers:
Does sound healing genuinely work?
Shedding light on this inquiry, ConsciousnessCalibrations.com paints a compelling picture of the profound interplay between sound healing therapies and heightened consciousness. These therapies calibrate at an impressive calibration of 340 on Dr. David R. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness® and Brian Gibbs’ Map of Spiritual Progress.
Understanding the Significance: The logarithmic nature of these calibrations reveals the quantum essence of this assessment. Any calibration exceeding 200 signifies an inherently positive, constructive orientation, and is capable of elevating consciousness.
Thus, the calibration of sound healing therapies at 340 speaks volumes about their substantial positive orientation and consequential efficacy. This high calibration reinforces their safety, importance, and transformative potential.

What Does Sound Healing Do?
Part 2: Exploring the Multifaceted Essence and Efficacy of Sound Healing
Now, let’s dive deeper into the heart of the matter: What does sound healing do? This query holds the key to comprehending the multifaceted essence of this ancient art. At its core, sound healing operates on the premise that all entities within the universe resonate at specific frequencies, our bodies included. By introducing healing vibrations through an array of sound techniques, we tap into the inherent resonance of our bodies, which can lead to an array of profound outcomes.
To put this into further context, let me give you some consciousness calibrations of relevant topics based on decades of consciousness research by internationally renowned psychiatrist and esteemed spiritual teacher Dr. David R. Hawkins.
It’s important to note first, for “newbies” to the science of consciousness where authentic power and levels of truth exist, that 200 on the scale of human consciousness is the gateway to higher consciousness, so anything above 200 on the scale is positively oriented, uplifting, and constructive.
Here are some relevant calibrations to know:
- The Body calibrates at 205
- The Earth Calibrates at 205
- The field of “healthy” calibrates at 360
- Sound healing therapies calibrate at 340
Discover The Tapestry of Sound Healing Benefits:
Harmonization of Stress and Relaxation: The mellifluous tones of sound healing weave a tapestry of relaxation, gently calming the nervous system and ushering in tranquility amid life’s chaos.
Unlocking Emotional Release: Specific frequencies wield the power to facilitate the release of suppressed emotions, thus aiding in emotional catharsis and healing. It’s proven in research and studies by Dr. Bradley Nelson that we all harbor trapped feelings, including those we inherit from generations of our ancestors or absorb from our environment and those around us.
Empowerment in Pain Management: Sound therapy harnesses the remarkable ability to ease discomfort by triggering the release of endorphins, which are the body’s inherent pain-relieving warriors. This natural response offers relief from physical pain and provides a holistic sense of well-being, fostering a profound connection between sound vibrations and our body’s innate healing mechanisms.
Gateway to Restorative Sleep: The rhythmic vibrations of sound healing have been associated with improved sleep quality, fostering a state of deep restfulness. In my experience with many sound healing modalities like singing bowls, gong baths, and tuning fork healing its a challenge to stay awake.

Balancing Energies: Through the harmonization of the body’s energy centers, known as chakras, sound healing promotes holistic vitality and well-being. In fact, my sound healer friends and practitioners have tuning forks specifically for each of the chakras. If you are sensitive, like I am, to activating a chakra with energy healing or hand mudras, you’ll appreciate the significant activation of your chakra centers when used with tuning forks for healing. And the sound is incredibly yummy on the senses!
Enhanced Cognitive Clarity: The transformative potential of sound vibrations extends to our cognitive realm, offering a remarkable enhancement in mental clarity and cognitive function. Sound waves penetrate our consciousness and engage neural pathways, promoting optimal brain function. This engagement can result in heightened focus, improved information processing, and overall cognitive acuity. By fostering synchronization within the brain’s networks, sound healing opens a gateway to enhanced problem-solving abilities, creativity, and a newfound sense of mental alertness, empowering individuals to navigate the challenges of modern life with heightened clarity and efficiency.

Elevation of Mood: The harmonious resonance of sound healing initiates a cascading effect on our emotional well-being, instilling a sense of profound positivity and joy. As the vibrations stimulate the release of endorphins, often referred to as the body’s “feel-good” neurotransmitters, a wave of euphoria washes over us, lifting our spirits and infusing a renewed sense of enthusiasm into our outlook. This infusion of positive energy alleviates emotional burdens and fosters a lasting sense of empowerment and contentment, making sound healing a transformative avenue for cultivating emotional resilience and inner radiance.

The path of sound healing, often met with curiosity and skepticism, holds profound significance in holistic well-being. Bolstered by the resonating calibrations in consciousness maps and rooted in the intricate science of vibrations, sound healing offers an avenue toward deep equilibrium of the physical, emotional, and spiritual facets of our lives. I will share my experience with sound healing therapies as we venture further into this series. Here’s PART 2 of this 2-part series.
Embark on a journey to embrace the potent energies of sound healing. Through the resonance of these therapies, a world of holistic wellness and profound transformation unfolds, inviting us to attune ourselves to the harmonious vibrations that can create lasting change.
DISCLAIMER: This is not to be taken as medical advice. Please seek professional help for any serious conditions. Sound healing therapies are NOT the same consciousness of medical science. Though both are of higher consciousness, they are NOT the same. I like to look at sound healing therapies as preventative medicine and a great way to unwind and treat yourself to something really special.
