There are several types of sound therapy. Some are more scientific, while others are more spiritual.
However, everyone agrees that sounds are the basis of healing and development sound healing.
Bonny Method
This music therapy method not only involves sound, but also guided imagery . It is commonly used to help patients with physiological and psychological problems.
In addition to music, images are used on which the patient concentrates before analyzing the problems they are having at that moment.
Dalcroze method
Also known as Eurythmy, this technique is used to teach music to students as a form of therapy. Focuses on rhythm and expression as part of learning and development.
It increases awareness and therefore significantly improves motor and cognitive functions.
Mantra/Guided Meditation
Of course, it is impossible not to mention meditation .
Let’s not forget that the voice is an instrument. If you use your voice in your meditations, you are doing your own healing shamanic music therapy.
Meditation provides many health, neurological and psychological benefits. Singing while you meditate or saying certain mantras or prayers helps you sleep better, lowers blood pressure, improves your mood, breathing and circulation, in addition to calming the mind and reducing stress.
The same thing happens with guided meditations, in which you meditate with the help of a recording.

Neurological music therapy
Neurological music therapy is based on neuroscience and proposes that enjoying and creating music has a positive effect on the brain. It uses music as a tool to alter the brain and cause changes in the patient. It is beneficial for both mood and cognitive and motor functions.
Nordoff-Robbins
The Nordoff-Robbins technique is primarily aimed at children with developmental difficulties such as autism, learning disabilities, mental and psychological disorders or emotional trauma.
This method is guided by the assumption that each of us can find meaning (and therefore healing) in music. He teaches patients how to create music as a form of therapy.
Synchronization with the root frequency
Root frequency synchronization is a practice that comes from the belief that our souls have certain frequencies at which they function at maximum capacity , but the noise and chaos of the world interferes with these frequencies, making us sick and unbalancing our moods.
To restore that balance, we must vibrate at our original frequencies. This is easily achieved using sound healing.
Tibetan bowl therapy
Since the 12th century, Tibetan singing bowls have been used throughout Asia for meditation, rituals and ceremonies. The sound produced by these metal bowls is quite similar to that of a gong or a bell.
In sound healing therapy, Tibetan singing bowls are believed to calm and repair the mind , while reducing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure, improving breathing and circulation, relieving pain, strengthening the immune system and improve the patient’s mood.
Tuning Fork Therapy
As with musical instruments, sound healing therapy uses calibrated tuning forks at specific points on the body to re-synchronize our body and soul. Imagine this is similar to acupuncture, but without the pins.
Tuning forks apply specific vibrations to certain areas of the body, and are said to release tension and blocked energy . This type of sound healing brings emotional balance and relieves pain.
Vibroacoustic therapy
Vibroacoustic therapy applies sound directly to the body. The patient lies on a special bed surrounded by strategically placed speakers so that the sound and vibrations penetrate the patient at a deep cellular level. Vibroacoustic therapy helps patients recover from injuries, cancer, and even strokes.
