Sound Medicine

Another powerful tool that has helped me personally with grief, trauma and healing has been sound. One of the things that I love most about sound medicine is that it is one of safest, most accessible tools for healing on the planet and the millions of people that gather globally in community to share sound medicine is evidence of that. In Black, indigenous cultures sound was used by the ancients to invoke trance states during ceremony in order to speak with the Divine, mark rites of passage, communicate messages quickly to the village and support healing in many ways using the drum, string instruments, rhythmic beats, chants and song circles. I honor the sacrifice many have made to make this medicine available to us still today though for hundreds of years enslaved Africans could not touch a drum without being punished or losing their lives. Fast forward to today, science has proven that certain MegaHertz (or sound waves) cause release of energy around the brain, heart and body. I highly recommend adding Woke Nation, Healing Meditation, Meditative Mind, Sound Forest, Relaxed Things and Taos Winds Spirit Music to your YouTube channel list for peace and stress release.
