The online Certificate
Program in Sound Therapy and Healing
covers the effect of sound on human beings
physiologically, psychologically, emotionally
and spiritually.
The Certificate program is a comprehensive
curriculum designed to provide students
with a broad perspective on this expanding industry,
enabling them to focus on their areas of interest. The Certificate gets you to the point where you can utilize a variety of sound healing techniques.
The curriculum begins with an examination of the
basic structure of sound and harmonics. We then use the harmonic
structure of sound as a basis for understanding
music theory and how musical intervals relate to and create different states of consciousness. All of this information is used to explore
the human voice as a sound healing tool. We examine
the physiology of the body, including a thorough
examination of the composition of the human being
from the physical to the spiritual. We explore the
use of sound to bring people into altered states
of consciousness and shift individuals into particular
brainwave states, such as delta, theta and alpha.
Finally, we look at the intersection of music,
sound, vibration, consciousness, color, light,
math and science. By studying the correspondences
between all of these areas we see the interconnectedness
of all human beings to each other, to nature and
to the universe.

• "Releasing Stuck Emotions" - This is a good example of how interactive the classes are. The class is further along in the semester so students have gotten more comfortable with making unusual sounds.
The goal of this class (in alignment with all the classes) is to see everything as frequency or vibration – including all of our emotions. When we see our emotions as frequency, it allows us to see and feel them as they are, and then gives us a simple sound method for releasing or shifting the emotion. We explain and practice 9 techniques for releasing stuck emotions, deep emotional issues, or subconscious negative beliefs.

Sound Therapy and Healing
Overview (SH Overview)
22 Classes
This Course covers the full perspective of everything going on of the field of Sound Healing and Sound Therapy. It gives you a good overview of the basic structure of sound and how it can be used for meditation,
relaxation, learning, productivity, healing and raising consciousness. We also look at the history
and ethics of music and sound healing.
We begin with the basic concepts of Sound Healing including the Law of Resonance, Entrainment, the Harmonic Structure of Sound, the effect of different Volumes on people, and the powerful effects of Phase Cancellation on us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Erik Larson explains Cymatics, the visual patterns that sound creates in matter, including water in our bodies.
We also discuss how Voice Analysis systems work and we perform Voice Analyses on each of the students.
We look at the importance of tuning systems based on nature. And, we go through all of the archetypal healing frequencies that have been used since the beginning of time -- from 1 – 400,000 Hertz.
We discuss binaural beats and how they entrain the brain into different brainwave states (gamma, alpha, theta, delta and subdelta), and synchronize the left and right brain.
We then look at and practice all of the techniques for releasing stuck emotions with sound. These techniques are extremely important, because many say that 50% of disease results from stuck emotions.
We discuss how nature sounds heal and we listen to the secret world that you find when you slow them down electronically. Nature is the most amazing sound healer of all.
• Listening to and researching the effect of natural sound healing instruments on the body, psyche and spirit.
•
Finding the frequencies and pitches of chakras.
• Exploration of the effects of sound with heart monitors and galvanic skin response feedback equipment.

BioPhysical Model of Mind, Body and Spirit
1 Class
The human body is a remarkable symphony of matter, energy, information and consciousness. While modern medicine and biology have focused almost exclusively on the dense, material aspects of the body (bones, muscles, organs, nerves, etc.), ancient traditions have always understood that all the aspects of our existence are inseparable.
As our culture moves slowly toward a “new” paradigm of mind-body holism, for thousands of years these traditions have taught that there is no connection between mind and body because there is fundamentally no separation between them – therefore, no connection is needed.
Body and Soul will explore many conventional notions of the body – including important concepts from standard anatomy and physiology – but from the unique perspective of how the body is organized as a physical expression of consciousness. In addition to lecture and discussion, we will use guided meditation, movement, touch and sound to directly experience the essential unity of life and the factors that influence it.

Sacred Voice
2 Classes
The voice is the ultimate healer, self contained
within our sacred body. We will explore what
we can "hear" when we truly listen…
and then re-sound with it.
We will discuss how to use the voice as
an intentional healing form and how to therapeutically
focus the voice for chakra balancing, emotional
clearing, and relaxation using gongs, drums,
shruti box and chimes. Exercises utilizing
multiple modalities will engage our self
expression and break through perceived limitations
and inhibitions. We will learn to access
the sublimated pure tone through the vocal
exercises developed with Rudolf Steiner
(“Uncovering the Voice method”).
Sessions will include improvisation and
a creative experiential format that allows
for discovery and joy in the singing process.
Our goal is to access the "healing
moment" through our vocalizations.

Sacred Geometry - The Harmonics of Space
4 Classes
In the ancient mystery schools, the study of the harmonics or proportions of Nature, the human body, architecture and music were considered to be a single subject. The intention of this course is to bring awareness of the proportions of spaces and natural forms to those studying the harmonics of sound, so you can see the harmonics you hear, and to explore how the knowledge of the symbolic meaning of geometrical shapes can support the art of healing with sound.
Geometry is the ultimate basis of harmony;
it guides the growth of the human skeleton and all material forms
Goals:
• To familiarize those who are studying the harmonics of sound with the parallel subject of the harmonic ratios found in two- and three-dimensional space, via the ancient discipline of symbolic geometry.
•
To provide a visual and kinesthetic avenue to understand the laws of natural harmony - to see and touch the harmonic ratios that one hears in music, to create a more multi-sensory understanding of harmonics.

Music of the Quantum Spheres – How Resonance Creates Consciousness
2 Classes
Biophysicist Stuart Grace Greene explains the history and fundamental concepts of quantum physics and developmental ecology through clear and entertaining analogies, illuminating a rigorous synthesis of science and spirit that’s as accessible as it is revolutionary. Music of the Quantum Spheres introduces Quantum EcoBiotics (QEB), a biophysical model that successfully explains how consciousness lives in physical form. QEB demonstrates that consciousness is actually composed of two radically different “minds” – the familiar, computer-like mind made of neurons and a much older, literally infinite mind made of harmonically interacting quantum resonances – in effect, an exquisite form of sub-atomic music.

Harmonic Law - How Intention Becomes Manifest through Vibration
2 Classes
Don presents the findings of 20 years research into the vibrational nature of reality and the laws that govern the relationship between body, mind and spirit. The class discusses the underlying principles governing manifestation, utilizing a sophisticated wall chart called the Absolute Scale of Relative Cosmic Reality. Understanding of these principles has resulted in the development of new transformational technologies, which are being used by practitioners all over the world as adjuncts to a wide range of therapies. As a science, Harmonic Law presents the basis for a "unified field theory" that really makes sense.
The power of an intention to manifest is only as good as the quality of its expression. All human suffering stems from the difference between who one says they are and who the really are. This difference can be measured with a new supercomputer controlled process named Aspire, a spectral essence evaluation of one’s breath. Using this personal harmonic code a person can be disassembled, rearranged and reassembled by a unique natural resonance, multi-sensory biofeedback program called Harmonic Resolution.This process can also be used to transform ordinary water and other substances into concentrations known as Transformants which when consumed or inhaled, have been shown to provide unlimited harmonic support.
1. Principles of Harmonic Law: The governing laws of reality and consciousness.
2. The Absolute Scale of Relative Cosmic Reality: Master wall chart illustration of the entire spectrum of matter, consciousness and spirit.
3. New Healing Paradigm: Enhancing what’s right rather than fixing what’s wrong.
4. The New Science of Automata: Building blocks of Intention and Consciousness.
5. Transformational technology: Futuristic hi-tech tools available now for effecting true and lasting change oneself and the world. How to create one’s own reality by exercising faith and focusing intention via Harmonic Resolution.

Advanced Sacred Geometry - The Harmonics of Space
Richard takes the class deeper in to the Geometrical Shapes in relation to Sound Harmonics. In the ancient mystery schools, the study of the harmonics or proportions of Nature, the human body, architecture and music were considered to be a single subject. The intention of this course is to bring awareness of the proportions of spaces and natural forms to those studying the harmonics of sound, so you can see the harmonics you hear, and to explore how the knowledge of the symbolic meaning of geometrical shapes can support the art of healing with sound.
Richard particularly focuses on Sacred Architecture. In this course we will explore how the familiar concepts in musical composition form the basis of architectural design, at least in the traditional pre-Bauhaus schools of design. We will see how the musical terms consonance, accord, counterpoint, resolution, repetition, and variations on a theme all have meaning in the timeless approach to building design, by learning how to recognize and analyze these principles in the elements of various buildings. Key concepts from physics, such as resonance patterns, nodal points, attraction, in phase, and standing waves will supply additional insights into the natural laws of harmony. We will "visit" the great monuments of timeless architecture via illustrated lectures, videos, plan and elevation studies, and field trips. The accomplishments of the master builders of the Gothic Cathedrals, Islamic mosques, HIndu and Buddhist temples, and Neolithic megalithic monuments, and the humble dwellings of indigenous peoples will provide inspiring examples of how to create environments in harmony with ourselves, Nature and the Cosmos, that nurture our souls, and connect us with the Infinite within and without.

When used with intention, our own voice can be a miraculous healing tool. It is a primordial pathway into our body and soul. In this workshop we will explore how sound vibrates our inner body. With toning techniques, we will experience where sound resonates and how to use that vibration to massage from the inside out, clearing the chakras, relaxing the body and releasing old outdated imprinting. We will learn chants from several ethnic traditions and feel the commonality and differences of rhythm and pulse. Through Vocal Meditation we will discover how to create our own sacred chant.
Instructors: Janis Arch, Evelie Delfino Sales Posch
