CAN MUSIC MAKE YOU HEALTHIER? Neuroscience Expert Shares Insight to "Sound Healing" a Unique Approach to Improve Mental, Physical & Emotional Health We've all experienced the healing power of music. It can perk us up when our favorite song comes on the radio and it can provide comfort when we are sad.  Music is a medium that connects us all. We use it for entertainment, communication, comfort, and celebration. Music is ingrained into our evolutionary development so, it's no surprise why so many people are now turning to "sound healing" to improve mental, physical, and emotional health.According to Neuroscience expert Dr. Patrick Porter, music and sound can affect your brain and body in more ways than you may realize.Sound Healing is an ancient practice that is used to restore balance to the body and improve mental, physical, and emotional health. It's known to improve social and cognitive development, reduce stress and bolster the immune system. There are different types of sound healing including vibrational therapy, a method that uses vibrations from gongs and tuning forks to relax the mind and body. One of the most popular methods today is binaural beats, also known as brainwave entrainment or braintapping. This method uses auditory stimulation to synchronize and balance brainwaves so they align to the frequency of the beat. "Digital medicine in the form of sound healing is quickly becoming a go-to solution for enriching patient care. As more research results are published, sound therapy will become an essential part of healing protocols..."..says Dr. Porter, who has devoted his career to researching the effects of sound and brainwave entrainment. Sound healers say the healing effects occur because the body relaxes and blood pressure is lowered, which improves circulation and respiratory rates. It stabilizes the limbic system which is involved in motivation, emotion, learning, and memory. The body is calmed, breathing becomes rhythmic, and the muscles relax. Though more research is needed, sound healing has been used to treat symptoms of a number of conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, PTSD, dementia, autism and learning difficulties, behavioral and psychiatric disorders, and more. With its ability to calm and relax, sound therapy helps the body stay stress-free so it can heal at an appropriate rate.Dr. Porter is sharing fascinating science behind Sound Healing, music and the mind. He has tips and actionable advice on how people can use music and sound to improve mental, physical, and emotional wellness in 2020. TALKING POINTS (FOR INTERVIEWS & ARTICLES):Try-at-Home Wellness Tips Using Music & Sound5 Ways Music & Sound Can Improve Mental, Physical, & Emotional HealthScience Behind ASMR & Sound HealingMusic & The Mind: Fascinating Link Between Sound, Brain, & BodySound Healing 101 - What It Is & How It WorksHow to Biohack the Brain for a Happier Healthier Year ABOUT DR.
