How To Calm Anxiety

Anxiety and Sound Therapy
A student struggling with test anxiety may freeze up and forget everything they studied when they sit down to take an exam. By turning on an Alpha, Beta, or Gamma binaural beat in the classroom, the frequencies can act as a calming mechanism, helping the anxious student take a deep breath, and focus better.
Great news for those who are plagued by anxiety or panic attacks! Sound Therapy calms and harmonizes the entire nervous system bringing deep and lasting relief.
What is anxiety?
Anxiety is a condition where stress worry and dread have built up to the point that they interfere with our daily functioning. Worry about everyday life is exaggerated to the point where it preoccupies the mind. Sufferers tend to worry frequently about health, money, family, work or school. This worrying is often unrealistic or out of proportion to the situation.
Some common symptoms of anxiety include:

• Hot and cold flushes
• Sleeplessness
• Racing heart
• Tightening of the chest
• Ruminative, repetitive worrying
• Obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior

How Sound Therapy helps reduce anxiety
Discover how quiet yet powerful sounds can wash away stress or anxiety and create emotional balance. Sound Therapy is much more than just nice music to calm you down. Research proves how it works on normalizing many of the automatic functions of our nervous system, by working directly on the ear-brain connection. The ear is intricately linked to our nervous system and in particular effects the functioning of our vagus nerve. The latest scientific discoveries in this field show how our primitive neural pathways affect our feelings of safety and our social and emotional responses.

Brain activity is either enhanced or depleted by sound, depending on the quality of the sound. Dr. Tomatis recommends listening to Sound Therapy for three hours a day to help restore normality to our nervous system, to calm the mind and compensate for and counteract the draining, stressful effects of low-frequency noise.

Once students understand how their brains and neurochemistry function, they can become more skilled at self-regulating their own brain activity. With the proper techniques, such as our state-of-the-art sound tables, binaural beats, tension & trauma releasing exercises (TRE), guided imagery/visualization, aromatherapy, and breath work, students can look down at this whole stress response as it’s unfolding to recognize, respect, and re-direct their pattern.

When you’re able to recognize that you’re “in the stress loop or cycle,” and can establish some mental distance from the whole experience, results happen!
