Let the Sound Move You

There are many reasons that language exists. Foremost, it’s a way to express our thoughts and emotions to others and also to ourselves. Verbalizing how we feel or think gives our own body a chance to experience these inner workings. …

Tips for Improving your Attention Span

Geoff Lamden, Mind Body and Spirit, Natural Health, Sound TherapyNo commentsattention, focus, naturopathyOctober 26, 2015Kara McNabb

Mine is longer than yours…or is it?

Now that I have your attention, hopefully I can keep it. The average American’s attention span is down to eight seconds. This is one second less than that of a goldfish (nine seconds). “Attention span is the amount of concentrated time one can spend on a task without becoming distracted. Most educators and psychologists agree that the ability to focus attention on a task is crucial for the achievement of one’s goals.” (Wikipedia)

This is one reason we are drawn to certain people or places. Entrainment is the reason we like sounds or dislike them. Think about a time when you heard the sound of water, morning birds, frogs, etc. Think about the sounds of an industrial zone, the big city, or even your cell phone. This sonic entrainment, which can be utilized for our well-being, is what I want to tell you more about. “We human beings also react in resonance with the vibrations and fluctuations in our surroundings, so it follows that our physiological functioning may be altered by the impact of sound waves, whether produced by our own voices or by objects or instruments in our environment.”(The Healing …
