The next phase of developing my argument for the research document was to find other unconventional therapies that are used to treat mental illness. My assumption was that other forms of therapy would lend some knowledge and inspiration for my own project of developing an audiovisual treatment for anxiety. Here is one of the treatments I found:
Vibrational Healing
- reference: Meyer, et al., 2003
- Notable Practitioners: Hermann Helmholtz, John Keely, Royal Rife, Albert Abrams
- Based on a few solid principles including
- The Principle of Vibration (Keely’s Law) - everything is in constant motion
- Theory of Resonance - “every substance on earth and every bone, muscle, organ and microbe in the body has its own frequency”
- Sound Therapy - based on the knowledge that “when the body frequencies are in harmony, the body is healthy; when the body frequencies are out of harmony, dis-ease results”
- Frequencies in the body can be balanced through the vibrations formed by the voice, instruments, or electro-mechanical devices, which "re-establishes the rhythm or flow of the energy in the body so that its natural processes can heal the body."
The concept of sound and music therapies has achieved great results and is still being developed further today in programs at "centers of a healing revolution using sound" including clinics and universities.
