If you’d like to experiment with sound therapy on your own, Ortiz, Campbell and Goldman offer some suggestions.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Raise your sound awareness by noticing the sounds around you in everyday life. This grounds you in the here and now and enhances your communication skills by improving your listening skills.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Play your favorite music when you do housework or unpleasant chores. Not only will it distract you, but it will motivate you and create pleasant associations with that activity.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 When you’re angry, tense, or frustrated, play an energetic piece of music. Move your body for five to seven minutes, letting the music release your emotions. Then your mind can look at the situation with a more objective and compassionate attitude.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 If you want the benefits of deep relaxation but have problems with formal meditation, sit somewhere quiet. Hum or chant different vowel sounds and “direct” them to various parts of your body. When we create and focus on sound, we begin to stop the constant chatter in our minds, which is the first step towards not only deep relaxation, but spiritual enlightenment too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
