Sound Therapy Helps Depression

Vibroacoustic Therapy harnesses the power of sound and vibration to promote emotional well-being. This non-invasive therapy involves the use of specialized sound frequencies and vibrations applied directly to the body through specially designed mats or cushions. These vibrations resonate with the body’s cells, stimulating relaxation and reducing stress. Research suggests that vibroacoustic therapy can help lower cortisol levels, improve mood, and enhance overall mental health. By fostering relaxation and reducing the symptoms of depression, vibroacoustic therapy offers a promising adjunct to traditional treatment methods. Its holistic approach targets not only emotional but also physical and neurological aspects of depression, making it a promising avenue for those seeking alternative therapies for this pervasive mental health condition.

End the Self-Sabotage

Your unconscious mind is keeping you from having what you truly want in your life, and could even be sabotaging your best efforts. These unconscious commitments fuel your thoughts and behaviours. They are what creates the gap between what you say you want and what you are actually experiencing. When you were young and experienced a difficult situation but didn’t know how to process it, you made a decision about the meaning and formed a belief as a coping mechanism. Your mind believed it was necessary for survival. These beliefs stick with you and are reinforced over time. Ready to erase these unconscious commitments and choose new ones?

As we age, our immune response capability reduces, which can lead to potential infection and disease. Since our body uses food to extract nutrients that prevent disease, it’s important that our diets contain nutrient-rich foods for an overall stronger immune system. Antioxidant-rich foods help fight against free radicals that can cause damage to the body, whereas sugary foods generate an inflammatory response within the body, causing health issues and lowering the immune system. Foods high in antioxidants include berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, goji berries), red cabbage, beans, dark chocolate, pecans, spinach, carrots, and potatoes.
