What is sonic healing?

Sound healing dates back to ancient Greece.    The Pythagoreans (500 BC) believed in a daily routine of music therapy. Music enjoyed prior to retiring at the end of the day helped them to calm down and gave them a good night’s sleep – and pleasant dreams. They’d sing and chant certain melodies. Nowadays, we’ve got streaming like spotify and headphones, all on tap.

The Pythagorean mystery school taught flute and lyre as healing instruments, and it’s no surprise it’s becoming a mainstream trend in cities like London and New York. Sound bath studios are popping up everywhere, from Notting Hill to Malibu.

There’s a neat science to it all, and we don’t need any medical degree to understand how it all works.

Ever read Homer’s Odyssey? Magical songs, or ‘epodes’ were mentioned in the book, when the sons of Autolycus’ cure Odysseus’ wound with the use of a compress and a spellsong. These spells or chants had medical uses, including protection against negative energies – again something we’re waking up to and exploring. We’d once regard stories about ‘sorcerers and prophets’ moving objects described in almost every ancient text including The Odyssey as fiction. But experts from science and medicine are using sound and electro magnetic fields in new technologies every day. While we’re ignoring other harmful side effects of being bathed in an electro magnetic soup from wifi signals, and powerful mobile tech like 5G.

The ancients knew that musical learning aids learning development and social skills in children. People who sing in choirs learn how to work alongside each other and have enhanced education skills. Amazing.

So did Orpheus really move all types of objects just with epodes, from a lit torch to the ship Argo? Head to Athens or nearby Delphi to find out.
