WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?
Sound Healing, through various techniques and technologies, is the educated and conscious use of the energy of sound to reach identified goals and promote wellness in the human system – including the expansion of consciousness. Sound Healing is founded on the premise that all matter is vibrating at specific frequencies. Science has proven that sound, or vibration, has a strong impact upon substance. For example, the study of Cymatics has shown how sound creates geometric patterns in matter. Dr. Emoto has proven that sound changes the molecular structure of water. However, more importantly, sound changes consciousness. Many ancient civilizations and modern indigenous cultures have used sound to heal and access higher levels of consciousness for thousands of years.

There are a wide range of techniques that utilize sound as a tool for change. The most common and basic use of sound is for meditation and relaxation. Chanting, toning and overtone singing are some of the most powerful methods for resonating sound throughout the body. The use of nature sounds and natural instruments, such as crystal bowls and tuning forks, have specific healing frequencies and harmonics. Drumming and rhythm are now used by corporations to release stress and build team consciousness. Shamanic drumming takes people into altered states of consciousness. Sound is now being using by clinical psychologists to help children with certain learning disabilities. Binaural beat frequencies are used to entrain people into very specific states of consciousness. Sound is used to alter brainwave states to help people with sleep disorders and facilitate creative expression. Listening to one’s own root frequency enables an individual to create a more centered and grounded awareness within their life. The technique called Bio-Tuning uses root frequencies and binaural beats, played back through a sound table, to entrain people into specific brainwave states. Sound and music are also used to help with difficult life transitions, including birth and death. The medical community also uses sound and music in a variety of applications including during surgery to relieve pain, to break up gall stones and to relax muscles using ultrasound. Doctors are now finding the resonant frequency of organs in order to help vibrate them back into a healthy state. Perhaps most exciting is cutting-edge research that shows how sound might be used to disintegrate diseases such as cancer.

A SOUND CURRICULUM
Globe Institute offers a complete Certificate Program in Sound Healing and Sound Therapy -- the study of the effect of sound on human beings physiologically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. The College provides a comprehensive curriculum that is designed to provide students with a broad perspective on this expanding industry, enabling them to focus on their areas of interest.
Most people intuitively understand the incredible power of sound. We have all experienced the powerful effect that music has on our moods. However, very few understand what is going on beneath the surface.

The curriculum begins with an examination of the basic structure of sound and harmonics. We then use the harmonic structure of sound as a basis for understanding music theory and how each musical interval creates different states of consciousness. All of this information is used to explore the human voice as a sound healing tool. We examine the physiology of the body, including a thorough examination of the composition of the human being from the physical to the spiritual. Students then take this information into the lab where they begin their own exploration of the effects of sound upon themselves and others. We explore the use of sound to bring people into altered states of consciousness and shift individuals into particular brainwave states, such as delta, theta and alpha. Finally, we look at the intersection of music, sound, vibration, consciousness, color, light, math and science. By studying the correspondences between all of these areas we see the interconnectedness of all human beings to each other, to nature and to the universe

WHY STUDY SOUND HEALING AND THERAPY

Become A Sound Practitioner
The Sound Healing and PsychoAcoustics program is designed to provide students with the knowledge necessary to become a sound practitioner, or to integrate the many techniques learned into an already existing therapeutic practice. Additionally, we discuss techniques of clinical psychology to clearly define the “client – practitioner” relationship and ensure safe and ethical practices. Upon completion of the program, the school assists students in acquiring internships at alternative healing centers, including the Institute’s own Sound Health Center.

Raise Your Awareness And Consciousness
The program is designed to assist you in increasing awareness of your own sound landscape, enabling you to feel more grounded, emotionally clear and heart centered. Become aware of your own root frequency, where you feel clear, grounded and connected to your own center. When life’s challenges move you off center, you will be able to draw upon a variety of sound techniques to bring your self back to a calm and centered place. Discovering your own harmonic structure will enable you to remain centered for longer periods of time. As you gradually acquire a more stable and clear vibration, interactions with others become smoother, as fear and frustration diminish. You can then add a more uplifting vibration to the world with a true ability to support others.

THE LATEST IN CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY - Bringing Science and Esoteric Wisdom together
The program is focused on Natural Sound Healing but we also have a wide array of technology. If interested, you may experience and experiment with some of the technology. Even if not interested in the technology, you still receive the benefits of the research being done with our technology as we learn more about how sound affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

• Monitoring of Physiological Responses The Institute uses Biofeedback Equipment such as: EEG, Heart Monitors, and Galvanic Skin Response to monitor physiological responses to frequencies, musical intervals and music. Research is designed to help bring effective esoteric techniques into the mainstream. Students may use the equipment in labs and may use the equipment on their own research projects.

• Use of unique sound transmission devices. The Institute utilizes sound chairs and tables, each with built-in speakers, to effectively transmit sound through the human body. Students utilize the equipment during labs where they experience the wide range of sound healing products currently available in the market place, as well as offering them the opportunity to test the efficacy of their own projects. Additionally, the Institute utilizes the Neurophone which transmits ultrasonic sound directly into the brain. New, cutting-edge technologies for the transmission of sound into the human body are currently being researched and developed at the Institute.

• Use of the latest sophisticated sound analysis technology. Using the latest sound analysis program, Raven, from Cornell University, you will be able to see the underlying physical structure of nature sounds. Not only does this give you a deeper understanding of sound, but you can also use this information to add subtle power and magic to sounds used in your sound projects.
