What is Vibrational Medicine?

Vibrational medicine is a holistic approach that uses the power of frequencies to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. The belief is that everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of energy, and this energy can be utilised to promote healing.

What are Vibrations?

Vibrations are simply waves of energy that travel through space. The  unique frequency of a vibration is measured in hertz (Hz), and it determines how often the wave oscillates. For example, a sound wave with a frequency of 440 Hz is heard as the note of A.

History of Vibrational Medicine

The use of vibrations for healing purposes has been documented for centuries. In ancient Egypt sound therapy was used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, and depression. Colour therapy was also used during these times and it was believed to be effective in treating a variety of physical and emotional conditions.

In the 19th century, interest in vibrational medicine began to grow in the West. In 1875, Dr. Richard Wilhelm Reich discovered that certain frequencies of sound could potentially be used to treat cancer. He developed a technique called "Orgone Therapy" that purportedly used sound waves to destroy cancer cells.

In the 20th century, interest in vibrational medicine continued to grow. In the 1950s, Dr. Albert Abrams developed a technique called "radionics" that used vibrations to diagnose and treat disease. He believed that each disease had its own unique vibration, and that by detecting these vibrations, he could identify and treat the underlying cause of the disease.

Today, vibrational medicine is still a relatively unexplored field, but it is gaining in popularity. There is still much research that needs to be done to fully understand how vibrational medicine works, but there is growing evidence to suggest that it can be a helpful complementary therapy for a variety of conditions.

How does Vibrational Medicine Work?

Vibrational medicine practitioners believe that using specific frequencies can help to restore balance and harmony to the Human Energy Field (HEF). This can be achieved through a variety of methods, such as sound, colour, and crystal therapies.

Sound Therapy

Sound therapy uses sound waves to create vibrations that are believed to have a healing effect on the body. Some practitioners use devices such as tuning forks to create specific frequencies that are thought to be beneficial for certain conditions.

Sound therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and pain. It can also help to improve sleep and boost the immune system.

Colour Therapy

This therapy uses the resonant frequencies of the colours of the visible light spectrum. Practitioners use coloured lights or crystals to create highly specific colours.

Colour therapy has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and pain. It can also help to improve sleep and boost the immune system.

Crystal Healing

Crystals create vibrations that are believed to have a healing effect on the body. Crystals are said to both absorb and emit certain frequencies, and practitioners believe that by placing crystals on specific parts of the body, they can help to promote healing.

Crystal healing has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and pain. It can also help to improve sleep and boost the immune system.

Sound Baths 

A sound bath is a type of sound therapy that uses bowls, gongs, tuning forks, and other instruments to create vibrations that are believed to have a healing effect on the body, mind, and spirit. The participants lie or sit comfortably and listen to the sounds, which can be soothing, relaxing, and even meditative.

  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Improve sleep
  • Boost the immune system
  • Reduce pain
  • Improve circulation
  • Promote relaxation and meditation
  • Enhance overall well-being

Sound baths can be a wonderful way to relax, de-stress, and improve your overall well-being. If you are looking for a holistic approach to healing, I encourage you to try a sound bath.
