SOUND & PEAK PERFORMANCE:
Sound is vibration. It has the power to affect even the atoms that make up your cells! Certain sounds, like pleasing music, can organize your neural activity, energize your body, retune your emotions, and help you start or end your day in a calmer and more productive emotional state.

Noise disruption has become a major urban problem. The former Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. William H. Stewart says:

“Calling noise a nuisance is like calling smog an inconvenience. Noise must be considered a hazard to the health of people everywhere.”

A significant way to reach optimum performance in your life is to consider how you might decrease your exposure to noise. Noise, even common noise like a passing truck or a lawn mower, can destroy your hearing, increase your blood pressure, change the way your heart beats, increase breathing rates, disturb digestion, contribute to ulcers, interrupt sleep, speed up signs of aging, and even negatively affect fetuses of pregnant women.

So once you get a handle on the noise disruptions in your life, you can start to tune your focus to the sounds that will heal, restore, nourish, and bolster you and your family – ultimately creating health and harmony. This is the book that shows you how.

No one knows better than athletes how to use music in order to maximize a fitness workout. Research has now proven that something as simple as listening to an up-beat song with a strong rhythm during time at the gym can actually inspire you to work out harder and longer than you would without music – spurring your endorphins, improving breathing patterns, and increasing blood flow.

Yes, sound is THAT powerful!

SOUND & HEALTH
Sound and music make for a two-edged sword that can enhance or detract from your health depending on how you are exposed to them.

Healing at the Speed of Sound uncovers the amazing science that shows you how to use sound to relieve pain, eliminate or manage the symptoms of certain health conditions, decrease anxiety before surgery or speed recovery afterward, and enhance your physical rehabilitation.

Sound and music can also be used to treat psychological issues as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as helping you or those you love to summon will and strength to meet any health related challenges.

Some scientists believe that the act of singing may even literally prevent pain, not just distract from it, by blocking the neuronal pathways that would otherwise transmit pain-related impulses to the brain! This understanding put into practice can help to lessen the need for pain medications or even hospitalization in some cases.

Rhythm, tone, melody, vibration, words – every aspect of music and song comes together to help keep you physically healthy, emotionally balanced, and mentally alert as you move through your life.

BENEFITS OF SOUND & HEALTHY AGING
Healing at the Speed of Sound delves into the research out now that is proving that music therapy can greatly help anyone suffering with memory loss, such as those with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Listening to music can also help to strengthen your memory as you age.

Older people with arthritis are likely to find that daily sessions spent listening to classical or other relaxing music on headphones can significantly reduce perception of arthritis or other pain. Patients undergoing surgery can decrease the likelihood of post-op confusion or disorientation by listening to music after a surgery. And anyone suffering from poor blood circulation, stiff muscles, chronic pain, insomnia, cystic fibrosis or even nausea can benefit from sound therapy as well.

Even Charles Darwin wrote in his autobiography:
“If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to... listen to some music at least once every week; for perhaps the parts of my brain now atrophied would thus have been kept active through use.”

SOUND FOR CHILDREN, FAMILIES, & EDUCATION

Healing at the Speed of Sound explores the power of music from conception right up through college. The more comfortable a child is with music-related activities, the more effectively those pursuits can lead to academic success, physical grace, emotional balance and creative thought.

Studies have now shown that playing an instrument as a child literally makes the brain grow. By adulthood the brain area used to analyze musical pitch is an average of 25% larger in musicians than in those who don’t play an instrument!

The facts are in:

• Music students score higher on their SATs.
• Students who participate in band or orchestra have lower lifetime use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs.
• Schools that produce the highest academic achievement in the U.S. spend 20-30% of the day on arts , with special emphasis on music.
• The foremost technical designers and engineers in Silicon Valley are almost all practicing musicians.
• Medical school grads who play a musical instrument have been show to score higher on practical medical tests.
