VIBRASOUND THERAPY
VibraSound® is a proprietary technology based upon
the Theory
of Sensory Resonance, which
states that the key to health and happiness is the ability to Experience
life as much as Analyze it.
Too
much analysis leaves one short of experience.
Experience actualizes in human consciousness as either pleasure or
pain. Sensory Resonance brings about
a state of pleasurable experience. This
Healthy Pleasure has Applications (See Below) in just about
every field of medicine, psychiatry, stress management, recreation, and entertainment.
VibraSound is the choice among professionals for the perfect device
to transfer any type of vibrational information such as music, sounds, frequencies,
light, colors, tactile vibrations, or communication therapy.
285
Sensory Resonance is a state of mind
that occurs when one is extremely inspired, challenged or relaxed in a pleasurable
experience. It cannot be achieved
under conditions of boredom, threat, or pain. VibraSound® was designed to help
users relax and become inspired at the same time by synchronizing their senses
of Sight, Sound, and Vibration with a unique form of Music Therapy that allows
them to simultaneously see, hear, and feel the harmonic vibrations. Being relaxed and stimulated at the same time
can lead to states of Sensory Resonance that can bolster one’s health by helping
to balance the Autonomic
Nervous System, the body’s
number one control mechanism.
VibraSound®
consists of four main parts:
VibraSound® synchronizes the sensory mechanisms
and encourages deep relaxation, profound inspiration, and emotional balance.
Sessions are 30-60 minutes in length and are available in various Locations around the world. The Music can
be from any source, custom mixed during the session, or Pre-recorded
Sessions based on theme. Sessions
can be pre-recorded (with and without therapist), live, or a mixture of both.
With a mixer console, microphones can be connected and used for voiceovers,
instructions, guided imagery, and/or psycho/hypnotherapy.
There are four different models of the VibraSound®
Platform. Each model has its own advantages and applications. Please review the Products Section of the corporate website to see details, specifications
and prices at www.vibrasound.com.

Healthy Pleasures are forms of pleasure that lead to increased
health, as opposed to pleasures that lead to illness and destruction.
Healthy Pleasure improves access to states of Sensory Resonance.
Unhealthy habits lead to The
Pleasure Freeze (see to www.ahealth.com), the root cause of many terminal
illnesses. Below are some examples
of the similarities and differences between Healthy and Unhealthy Pleasure:
HEALTHY PLEASURE UNHEALTHY
PLEASURE
·
Social
Isolation ·
Addiction
to Work ·
Constant
Television ·
Overexertion ·
Criticizing

Helper/Giver
Syndrome ·
Always
on the Go ·
Pigging
out on Junk Food ·
Becoming
a Couch Potato ·
Not
Engaging Life ·
Concealing
Your Truth ·
Tears
of Sadness
Of course, never ending healthy pleasure could
lead to disconnection from reality, and never enjoying an un-healthy could
cause one to become too uptight. A
healthy balance would lead to a lifestyle that leans toward the healthier forms
of pleasure, while sneaking in an unhealthy one now and then as the need or
desire arises.
VibraSound
incorporates many of the factors of Healthy Pleasure. In addition, it provides:

One of the most
interesting applications of VibraSoundÒ is in the field
of beauty enhancement. There is a
connection between Beauty and Stress.
Cutting edge beauty salons all over the world take great pride in the
art of highly skilled therapists to help clients not only look better on the
outside. This is the essence of the
fine art of master health professionals.
In addition, however, there is a deeper meaning and value to true beauty
that lies beyond the mirage on the
surface. This is the image of your-self that lies within the
subconscious mind…the land of the greatest nation on earth…the Imagi-Nation.
BEAUTY IS MORE THAN JUST SKIN DEEP
Within this
realm of all possibilities lies the key to real beauty…the perfected inner
image of your own self. Such a perfected image of one's self is not an easy
attainment. Of all of the many things
that block this desired self-image, however, the one that does the most damage
is STRESS.
The inner domain
of the unconscious mind is of vital importance, not only to beauty, but also to
health, happiness, and the ability to manage stress. Everyone has heard the old adages about getting their beauty rest and that true beauty comes from within. These old sayings conceal the
greater truth that what we think and how we feel on the inside is more
important than what we do on the outside…an idea that medical research is now
beginning to support more and more.
Many people use
alcohol or take pills to alleviate stress.
However, these don't seem to help all that much, fail to provide lasting
relief, and eventually wind up making the problem even worse. Exercise is better but still does not get to
the real causes of stress. In fact, for
some, the extra work and time commitment can create even more tension. Stress is like a double edged sword…it robs
you of your good energy, the kind you
use to work and play, and replaces it with a false energy called anxiety, which is not only useless, but
actually wears you down with worry.
Keeping your
protective shields up all the time requires more energy than you can take
in. This is the origin of stress. You simply must learn how to relax and let
go, and find meaning and purpose in your life.
Feelings of love, peace, inspiration, creativity, emotional release, and
a connection to all of life can transform you and help you become a more
beautiful person, inside and out.
STRESS SHORTENS LIFE
In
order for you to look, feel, and perform your best, your mind and body must be
working in harmony and functioning in peak condition. However, stress interferes with normal mind/body synchronization. In fact, nothing can do more physical and
psychological damage than stress. It
scrambles messages in your brain and creates confusion, which leads to
hypertension, headache, fatigue, insomnia, and digestive disorders. It can also aggravate pain and skin
disorders, and draw vital energy away from the immune system. Studies have also shown that it is also the
single most important contributing factor to artery deterioration and heart
attack. In short…stress can shorten
your life!
YOU LOOK OLDER…FASTER
Unmanaged
stress shows all over your face and body language. How many times have you heard someone say…"you look stressed
out"? It adds new lines to your
face and deepens the ones already there.
Restricted circulation causes your skin to loose its tone, color, and
healthy glow. In addition, muscle
tension can create imbalances in your posture, which makes you look old and
tired, and can lead to more serious conditions. You begin to look older…faster.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
There
is currently a worldwide stress epidemic.
This is especially true of western societies, but is also true of
eastern ones, which have traditionally had a more relaxed lifestyle. The
epidemic has now spread to include most of the third world. It has become obvious that it is not likely
to go away. In fact, indications are
that it will continue to increase. The
only thing we can do about stress is to get a new perspective on it…to learn
what it really is…and to apply that knowledge toward dealing with it more effectively. For example, contrary to popular belief…
NOT ALL STRESS IS BAD
There
are two radically different types of Stress.
The more common "Fight or Flight" type of stress is now called
Distress because it elicits the nervous system to move away from a balanced
condition (homeostasis), and causes it to speed up into a sympathetic state of threat.
Pulse rate increases, blood pressure rises, and muscles tighten, as the
body gets ready to fight or run. In
addition, the brain produces certain fear
chemicals that shut down circulation to the skin, turn off the immune system,
and provide pain relief as the body prepares itself to take on damage.
The lesser-known
type of stress is called Eustress, which also causes a sympathetic response,
but in this case, the perspective is different. In this case, the stress is perceived as challenge or
opportunity, rather than threat. A good
example is two people preparing to jump from an airplane. The first person is an expert, while the
other has never jumped before. Careful
analysis of both individuals during their jump well illustrates the difference
between distress and eustress.
Both show the
signs of the well-known sympathetic nervous system response. However, the professional can be shown to be
experiencing challenge and bliss, while the novice is experiencing threat and
fear. This shows up in marked
differences in certain biofeedback parameters that indicate whether the
person's metabolism is moving toward or away from a balanced condition
(homeostasis). In other words, there is
a difference between Distress (threat/fear) and Eustress
(challenge-opportunity-inspiration). In time the novice skydiver learns to
change the initial impression and turn the threat into challenge and finally
into bliss. This ability to turn threat
into challenge is the best life-coping skill you could ever develop. It is the single most powerful tool you
could own for controlling your life. In
short…not all stress is bad! Becoming
challenged and inspired is the fastest and easiest way of reducing stress and
helping yourself look younger and more beautiful. Being inspired by your
favorite music while you are relaxing
is one way to learn this important skill.
THE TRUE ESSENCE OF REST
Now that we have
a new perspective on stress, let's talk about rest and relaxation. When you lie down to rest you again have to
choose between threat and challenge in a more subtle way. As you begin to relax you must decide
whether or not you are too tired and exhausted to simply rest and
meditate. You may have to go to sleep
to get away from the stress you are under.
This is a subtle case of threat…and you try to run away. This is what happens when you go to
sleep. The brain begins to file away
all the stress signals to clear up limited circuits. When enough circuits are clear…you wake up.
However, when
you make a conscious decision to stay awake during rest, a different mind state
occurs. You pass into a meditative
state where you are alert but relaxed.
Vivid memories begin to stir and a sense of peace and well-being, flood
your body with goose bumps. Creativity
flourishes as problems seem to disappear, solutions arise, and time and space
become one. Your connection to the
circle of life becomes clear, and it is obvious that there is no need to
worry.
This
nervous system condition is called the parasympathetic
response. Pulse rate decreases, blood
pressure falls, and muscles loosen as the body prepares itself to relax. Circulation to the skin is increased and the
immune system kicks into high gear as the body begins to repair itself and
store energy during the deep delta stages of sleep. As you begin to wake up, however, you pass through a phase where
information is filed and the subconscious mind becomes active. This is known as the theta dream-state.
Dreams can be
powerful experiences for emotional release, self-observation, and realizations
of where your life is heading. When we
don't dream, we continue to build up the stress until we become ill or begin to
have nightmares. One of the most
meaningful things you can do to enhance your beauty is to encourage
dreaming. The ability to let go and
really get rested and recharged is an art that must be practiced and nourished.
This is the true essence of rest.
HEALTHY PLEASURE
These days
hardly anyone would argue against the idea that one of the main causes of
disease is distress, even conservative medical professionals. Furthermore, the cause of this distress is
being shown to be a medical condition known as Anhedonism…the inability to experience pleasure. Now, of course, it is obvious that the world
is currently plagued with an over-indulgence in pleasurable pursuits, but this
is exactly the point…for the most part, people don't know how to fully
experience pleasure in simple healthy terms, so they go searching for more radical
sordid forms.
There are all
types of healthy pleasures:
experiencing music, taking a walk in nature, soaking in a hot-tub,
making love, enjoying family and friends, massage, sports, arts, learning, and
discovery. Many people would include
meditation and even spirituality. The
truth is… whatever it is that you love…that is the thing that gives you the
most pleasure. Love is the highest form
of pleasure. Worship is the highest
form of Love. Unfortunately, much of
the world has fallen into the trappings of unhealthy types of pleasure. Pleasure has had to go underground. Sensory has become confused with sensuous,
and it is no longer politically correct to discuss pleasure.
The time has
come to change all that. Healthy
pleasure is not only good for you, but also vital to your well being. Without it you will never look and feel your
best, and in addition, potentially set yourself up for a whole host of serious
illnesses. So take your choice…a life
full of healthy constructive pleasure…or a life full of boredom, loneliness,
pain, and fear. A trip to your favorite
place to relax and have fun is in order!
With all the
time demands that modern life heaps on us, such stress free places can seem to
be very far away. Sometimes the time
and effort required just to plan, prepare, take a vacation, and catch up when
you return, just adds more stress. What
if there was an affordable way to get to one of those places in just a few
minutes, without the hassle involved in planning a trip? What if there was a way to engage in an
activity that was both relaxing and rejuvenating at the same time? What if there was a technology available
that could make all of this possible?
TECHNOLOGY FOR THE NEXT MILLINEUM
Imagine lying
back on a comfortable recliner into a position that feels like you are floating
on air. Beautiful music pulses through
your body and surrounds your entire being.
An incredible light show of colors, geometric forms, and dream-like
visions dance inside your head, even though your eyes are closed. The uplifting aroma reminds you of something
wonderful, but you can't quite remember what it is. Childhood memories flood your brain. Your skin feels tingly as your breath rate synchronizes to the
music. When it is all over, you are not
conscious of your body. It takes a few
minutes for you to fully return.
Suddenly, you realize that you are incredibly relaxed, and yet,
extremely alert! What just happened?
You have
experienced VibraSound, a new technology proven to lower stress and improve the
life experience of anyone who uses it.
VibraSound creates a state of mind called Sensory Resonance where each
of your senses is receiving the same information, in this case, music chosen
for its special therapeutic effects.
Sensory Resonance has been shown to improve the status of the nervous
system by returning it to a state of balance.
In addition, it has reportedly reduced muscle tension, removed stress
lines, improved skin circulation, and recharged the body. In addition to enhancing your beauty, these
effects can also help you become healthier, happier, and full of energy. It is the only method that incorporates both
Relaxation and Recreation into the same experience. In addition, VibraSoundÒ incorporates
almost every one of the factors that lead to healthy pleasure…relaxation, music
appreciation, meditation, art, massage, emotional release, and inspiration, and
even lucid dreaming.
YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN BEST THERAPIST
Maintaining
your inner beauty requires the same type of skill and repeated effort that
outer beauty requires. Seek out a local
VibraSound therapist who understands the connection between beauty and state of
mind. These are professionals who can
assist you in designing programs suited to your particular needs. Four to five initial sessions can help make
this new perspective on stress become a reality in your day-to- day life. Continued use can keep you looking and
feeling more youthful, fresh, alert, energized, and truly…BEAUTIFUL.
VibraSoundÒ, a state of the art neurotechnology that blends almost every aspect of Sensory Resonance, Healthy Pleasure, and Vibrational Therapy into one coherent experience, is currently in use with professionals all over the world. It has been featured on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Next Step, Beyond 2000, Future Science, and Science Frontiers as well as many other national and international media. The "techknowledgy" synchronizes light, sound, color, intent, aroma, breath, and intense vibration with music so beautiful that it will put chills up your spine. The internal massage performed by the music leaves your body feeling relaxed, refreshed, and invigorated at the same time. By synchronizing all of the body's main sensory input channels, it coheres the mind into a state called sensory resonance that can result in a peak experience. Beyond the benefits already discussed, this Regenerative Innertainment can assist in stress management, creativity, emotional release, self-discovery, and spiritual evolution.
