COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

“Each celestial body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, its rhythm or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having it’s own function and character, contributes to the whole.”
Pythagoras (569-475 BC)

Online Sound Healing and Therapy Classes

Take the course with Live Instructors, or at your own convenience.

The classes work really well online with the live instructors.
We tone, chant and do the full range of sound healings on each other.
It’s just like you are on a conference call on your computer. You can see our computer screen and sometimes you can see us when we turn on our webcam (If you have any fear of computers let us know and we’ll help you get set up).
It’s also nice having students from all over the world taking the classes.

CLICK HERE to see what our graduates are saying about the online classes.

The online Program in Sound Therapy and Healing covers the effect of sound on human beings physiologically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.

The classes are designed to provide students with a broad perspective on this expanding industry, enabling them to focus on their areas of interest. The program gets you to the point where you can utilize a variety of sound healing techniques.

The curriculum begins with an examination of the basic structure of sound and harmonics. We then use the harmonic structure of sound as a basis for understanding music theory and how musical intervals relate to and create different states of consciousness. All of this information is used to explore the human voice as a sound healing tool. We examine the physiology of the body, including a thorough examination of the composition of the human being from the physical to the spiritual. We explore the use of sound to bring people into altered states of consciousness and shift individuals into particular brainwave states, such as delta, theta and alpha. Finally, we look at the intersection of music, sound, vibration, consciousness, color, light, math and science. By studying the correspondences between all of these areas we see the interconnectedness of all human beings to each other, to nature and to the universe.

Free Video Examples of Online Classes

We have a over 15 instructors who teach online. Some of the classes are lecture style, some are completely interactive. The examples of the classes below give an example of classes taught by David Gibson only. Other instructors have their own teaching styles.

• Introductory class Webinar – 2 hours – CLICK HERE

• Sound of Nature Seminar
Nature is the best sound healer there is. It is working within the matrix. In this class we listen to a wide range of nature sounds and discuss their healing capacities.
CLICK HERE to watch “Sound of Nature” class online (2 hours).

• Holding Frequency Seminar
This class covers 10 techniques for using the voice and intention to hold your own frequency in the midst of any challenge, whether it be health, wealth, relationships, sensitivity to sound, or world changes. It is an unusual class in that we play some annoying sounds in order to practice each of the 10 techniques. It is a profound class — just imagine being at peace in the face of any challenge or conflict your could imagine. This class is quite a bit more interactive than the other two classes above and is normally held further into the semester when students have gained a certain level of confidence with their voices from other classes.

Sound Healing and Therapy Overview
16 Classes

This Course covers the full perspective of everything going on of the field of Sound Healing and Sound Therapy. It gives you a good overview of the basic structure of sound and how it can be used for meditation, relaxation, learning, productivity, healing and raising consciousness. We also look at the history and ethics of music and sound healing.

We begin with the basic concepts of Sound Healing including the Law of Resonance, Entrainment, the Harmonic Structure of Sound, the effect of different Volumes on people, and the powerful effects of Phase Cancellation on us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Steven Halpern brings his years of experience and information gathering to the class.

We also discuss how Voice Analysis systems work and we perform Voice Analyses on each of the students.

We look at the importance of tuning systems based on nature. And, we go through all of the archetypal healing frequencies that have been used since the beginning of time — from 1 – 400,000 Hertz.

We discuss binaural beats and how they entrain the brain into different brainwave states (gamma, alpha, theta, delta and subdelta), and synchronize the left and right brain.

We then look at all of the techniques for releasing stuck emotions with sound. These techniques are extremely important, because many say that 50% of disease is as a result of stuck emotions.

We discuss how nature sounds heal and we listen to the secret world that you find when you slow them down electronically. Nature is the most amazing sound healer of all.

Susanne Runion covers how to market your Sound Healing Practice in the Sound Healing Marketing. Susanne has written the main book in the field on Alternative Therapies Marketing. She shares over 100 detailed practical techniques for attracting and retaining clients with little or no money — and doing it with integrity.

For those taking the full Certificate Program, this class is like “homeroom” for all of the other classes.

Inner Music Theory
3 Classes

This class covers the fundamentals of music theory with an emphasis on how each aspect affects human beings on all levels. The course uses creative techniques to help students acquire a deeper understanding of the nuances of intervals and musical composition. The course uses the harmonic structure as the basis for the exploration of the underlying meaning of musical intervals.

With a basic grounding in the terminology and mechanics of music we will explore how to apply emerging knowledge and ideas in Psychoacoustics to actual pieces of music and live healing sessions.

  • Harmonic Series and Intervals
  • Rhythm and Groove
  • Tuning Systems
  • Toning, Seed Syllables, Mantra
  • Sacred Geometry
  • Live flow of a healing session
  • Resonance of relationship

This course will provide some fundamentals of concepts in music, the association of these concepts to developing healing music and a safe place to explore the various modalities of psychoacoustics through active listening and creative projects.

Additionally, this course will emphasize the development of the student’s abilities of discernment around the inner experience of sound. This ability is key to understanding the nature of the effects of different modalities of healing and styles of music. It also provides the foundation for a truly meaningful exchange between the healer and the client- the very basis for that conversation is an ability to understand how these tools affect us- how sound and music affect our consciousness and our bodies.

Sacred Geometry – Harmonics of Space
4 Classes

In the ancient mystery schools, the study of the harmonics or proportions of Nature, the human body, architecture and music were considered to be a single subject. The intention of this course is to bring awareness of the proportions of spaces and natural forms to those studying the harmonics of sound, so you can see the harmonics you hear, and to explore how the knowledge of the symbolic meaning of geometrical shapes can support the art of healing with sound.

Geometry is the ultimate basis of harmony;
it guides the growth of the human skeleton and all material forms

Goals:

• To familiarize those who are studying the harmonics of sound with the parallel subject of the harmonic ratios found in two- and three-dimensional space, via the ancient discipline of symbolic geometry.

• To provide a visual and kinesthetic avenue to understand the laws of natural harmony – to see and touch the harmonic ratios that one hears in music, to create a more multi-sensory understanding of harmonics.

• To stimulate renewed exploration, beyond the limits of this introductory session, into the ancient concept that architectural environments possess vibratory qualities, depending on their proportions, which can affect human consciousness. (“Why does this space feel good?” is a similar question to “Why does this music move me to tears?”)
