The Science and Art of Sound Therapy, with Kathy Harmon-Luber (S15E2)

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

How can music change the way we think, feel and heal?

Meet Kathy Harmon-Luber, the author of "Suffering to Thriving: Your Toolkit for Navigating Your Healing Journey," who joins me this week to share her  story of overcoming serious health challenges through the power of sound healing. 

In our conversation, we unravel the ancient wisdom and modern science behind sound’s impact on emotional and physiological well-being. From personal anecdotes to professional insights, we explore the profound role sound and music play in cultivating self-compassion, emotional stability, and overall healing.

• How sound healing is making a resurgence in modern medicine, finding its place in hospitals and nursing homes in the States. 
• The therapeutic effects of various musical genres, vocal yoga, and the intuitive joy of musical expression. 
• Kathy shares some compelling research along the way, from organisations like UCLA, which opens up how these practices could play a role in reducing stress and inflammation.
• Personal stories of how sound has helped overcome physical and emotional barriers, illustrating the remarkable benefits of integrating sound into daily life.
• Finally, we explore the future of sound healing through the lens of innovative medical treatments and pioneering professionals like Dr. Mitchell Gaynor. 

Our episode includes a special offering for listeners—a short course on healing the heart chakra, complete with a sound bath designed to open this vital energy point.

This episode is a celebration of Kathy’s journey from suffering to thriving and a testament to the incredible healing potential of sound and music - a journey of transformation and renewal.
