Antiaging and Healing Sounds
In our previous article we went into how the power of Healing Sounds enhances and Boosts our Immune System and how the Knowledge we accumulated over time lead to Scientific Research and … Sound Therapy
Sound Therapy on Nutrinsider Daily
Sound is an important element of our everyday life: just think of the people surrounding you, repulsing or attracting you: how do you react to their Voices? How does it feel to be in their company? How do you resonate? Do you smile when they address you and why? Is it because they are vibrant and have a sparkle in their voice?
Being exposed to the right Voice – and with it the right vibration – can make a big difference in your day!
Think of how actors and politicians use and modulate their voices – there’s a whole industry connected to this as in today’s public spotlights and the media the Voice plays a prime role, it needs to be trained to please, mesmerize, convince, persuade, market, sell and… command. History has shown glorious as well as disastrous examples all connected to the human voice as an instrument of power and glory.
This phenomenon has lead to important breakthroughs in Hypnosis and especially Sound Therapy – Example: BioWaves Sound Therapy which I find intrigueingly interesting and worth studying without being affiliated or related in any way, so my suggestion is totally independant – as a way of Healing, achieving Balance and Emotional Health, Managing Stress and Increasing Energy.
Effects of Sound
From the above we see that the Effects of Sound can be both positive and healing… as they can be destructive.
Nurseries play Mozart or Vivladi as the plants grow better… and I speak with my plants every day… I even sing :)
Gorgi Lazanoff, the Bulgarian Psychiatrist, demonstrated an increased capacity for learning by playing Baroque music from Vivaldi, Bach, Haendel or Telemon… and he taught his students to breathe in rhythm with the beat.
Today we know that we learn and create with much more ease when on the Alpha level – if not beyond. That’s another big topic for another day … however:
All this makes perfect sense because everything, ultimately, is vibration. Both Modern Physics and Ancient Science agree on this. The Effects of Sound – Healing Sounds and Music – have a profound effect on our general health and Wellness – physically, mentally and emotionally.

South Africa: Healing Sounds of Hugh Masekela
Let me end this Chapter today with a brilliant musician from South Africa – with “Healing Sounds of Hugh Masekela” in his latest album, Phola, which means “to heal”:
The Phola album, says the jazz-musician, is also “a dream and a prayer” for Africa.
“It’s time to be focused on things that bring joy and healing to people.”
A worthy message to the whole world as… Joy equals Antiaging… it transcends Time and Space!

Miriam Makeba – Taste of Africa
Birthday of a South African legend (1932-2008)
Time goes by so fast… and sooner or later we all have to move on. What continues is what we gave, what we passed on – be it our love, our spirit, our thoughts, our writing, our music… and the way they captured and transmitted a Joy for Life, Hope when we needed it, Courage to trust the Unknown and move beyond our limitations, Inspiration to realize our Dreams… Those remain burnt into our hearts forever.

Miriam Makeba – The Emperess of African Song
Driving through a typically beautiful hot and sunny South African morning I enjoyed listening to “The Empress of African Song”, the first African woman to win a Grammy award, the great “Mama Makeba” . This African legend performed with musical legends from around the world like jazz maestros Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Belafonte and Paul Simon just to name a few… and what marked her is that she always remained truthful to her Purpose and her Passion – and this until her last moment:
‘I will sing until the last day of my life!’
Miriam Makeba at the Jazz Festival 2008
Well, she did… and for us she keeps singing and reminding us that…
“Age is Wisdom if one has lived one’s Life!”
Mama Africa lived for her Music and its Mission. She sang what she felt from her heart, never mind the (political) circumstances. She represented the almost magic strength of the African woman, a strength that can achieve everything – without losing a sense of belonging, of compassion, of purpose.
Nelson Mandela’s Tribute to this Grande Dame of Africa when she suddenly collapsed and died on 10 November 2008 in Caserta, Italy:
Nelson Mandela – South African Legend
“ The sudden passing of our beloved Miriam has saddened us and our nation.
For many decades, starting in the years before we went to prison, MaMiriam featured prominently in our lives and we enjoyed her moving performances at home.
Despite her tremendous sacrifice and the pain she felt to leave behind her beloved family and her country when she went into exile, she continued to make us proud as she used her worldwide fame to focus attention on the abomination of apartheid.
Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and disclocation which she felt for 31 long years.
At the same time, her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us.
Even after she returned home she continued to use her name to make a difference by mentoring musicians and supporting struggling young women.
One of her more recent projects was to highlight the plight of victims of land mines.
She was South Africa’s first lady of song and so richly deserved the title of Mama Afrika.
She was a mother to our struggle and to the young nation of ours. It was fitting that her last moments were spent on a stage, enriching the hearts and lives of others – and again in support of a good cause.”
Mama Afrika lives on in her Music and Rhythms…
