Color and Sound Therapy Facts
The Science Behind Healing Vibes
Color and sound therapy can be traced back over 5,000 years ago in many cultures such as ancient Egyptians, Ayurvedics, Chinese, Native Americans and Tibetans.
Science has proven that each atom, cell and organ in your body is made up of energy which has its own frequency of sound and light. When any part of your body deviates from its optimum frequency, that part of the body is dis-eased and not functioning at its fullest. The Science of Sound Therapy and Chromotherapy (color) work by generating electrical impulses and energy which activate biochemical and hormonal processes in the human body to bring balance back to the system and organs.
Both color and sound affect the body’s autonomic nervous system which controls unconscious body functions such as heart rate, respiration and digestion. Using sound and color therapy can increase relaxation, boost oxygen, decrease levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, and improve the immune system. Self care wellness methods that help bring balance back to the body have been studied to improve general wellness by 76%! It has also been proven to help with pain, mood, sleep, sleep, migraine, stress, anxiety, depression and more.
Our nation is in a mental and physical health crisis. Research shows that 60% of adult Americans report having at least ONE chronic illness. What is more alarming is that 1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder, mainly depression and anxiety. And with the people I have surveyed, at least 50% are dissatisfied with their current health care options.
How we are living our lives needs to change. We need to find better habits that create life balance, continue exploring and adopting new ways to that allow our bodies an opportunity to heal and remember to have more fun. That is why I created the Healing Vibes App.
Our bodies have the intelligence and power to heal. This is evidenced by the forming of scabs over a cut.
What we know in whole body medicine is that mental and emotional health are at the core of physical health. Healing Vibes App works with balancing all three. My vision for Healing Vibes is to help millions of people take their health into their own hands. To make it easy and affordable for Americans make self-care a priority, not the last thing they think of. As a result, it offers people the potential to live a healthier, happier and more fulfilled life.
Self-care therapies are not new to the market, they have been around for thousands of years. But masses of Americans waking up to their benefits is new. Through the pandemic, people by the millions started using self-care apps to help them cope. Americans are discovering the benefits of using meditation and other self-care techniques to help them balance the mind and body.
People have been through a very tough time these last few years mentally and emotionally. Our hope here at YippityDoo is to bring apps to the market that help people heal and balance, offer some guidance and a create a some fun.
We hope you enjoy our apps, if you have any questions or would like to make update recommendations please contact us!
