A Symphony of the Self: The Science and Soul of Sound Medicine

In this episode of Words & Contemplations, Fai shares a reading of “A Symphony of the Self: The Science and Soul of Sound Medicine.” An exploration of the fascinating relationship between sound, vibration and the human body, this piece looks at sound medicine through both a scientific and deeply human lens. From the frequencies we hear to the vibrations we feel, sound has the ability to shift our attention, influence our nervous system and change the way we experience ourselves in the present moment. But beyond the science is something more difficult to measure: the feeling of being moved, softened or brought back into connection through sound. A thoughtful reflection on sound healing, frequency, vibration and the possibility that sometimes, the body understands something long before the mind can explain it.
