INSTITUTE AND PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Globe Sound and Consciousness Institute offers a complete Certificate Program in Sound Healing and Sound Therapy -- the study of the effect of sound on human beings physiologically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. The College provides a comprehensive curriculum that is designed to provide students with a broad perspective on this expanding industry, enabling them to then focus on their areas of interest.
The Sound Healing Programs at Globe Sound and Consciousness Institute were added in 2003. The original College was established in 1990. Our entire staff are masters in the field, and have years of experience -- some as much as 40 years (CLICK HERE to see each Instructor's philosophy of Sound Healing). They are also full of heart and seriously dedicated to helping students get what they want out of the program. We set our intention for each student to get what they need for their own highest good, and for the highest good of those that they may help in the future.

We are the only school on the planet that offers a Certificate and Associates Degree in Sound Healing and Therapy. The Program has been designed with careful consideration and experience to provide a full perspective on everything going on in the field -- with due consideration for what students need to work in the field, and consideration for what most would like to learn. Students get varying perspectives on the use of Sound from a wide variety of Instructors. The Program is not just one instructor's perspective.

We strive to stay on top of new developments and research in the field (including our own) in order to provide students with the known science available in the field. But we also explore ancient esoteric and powerful techniques that include how to raise consciousness that have not yet been proven or researched. We also provide techniques on how sound can be used for spiritual expansion including frequencies and sounds for opening the heart, creating joy and connecting to Spirit.

The Curriculum has also been designed to be cohesive. It is not a lot of disconnected seminars. There several overall threads and themes that are consistent throughout the Program. Instructors generally know what the other instructors are teaching. Students take labs where they get to practice what they have learned in the classes. Students get to work with heart monitors, galvanic skin response, and scientific software and voice analysis in order to see what different sounds are actually doing to us physiologically. In the Degree program students get to practice in our Sound Healing Therapy Center to refine their skills and learn ethics and safety when working with sound.

We have defined specific skills and accepted treatment modalities that students learn and practice, which they can use to obtain work, setup a private practice, or add to a current practice (such as massage or Reiki, for example) -- upon graduation from just the Certificate program. We also explain the full range of possibilities and give you the resources to explore them in more depth if you would like to go further. We also hope to inspire and safely guide students who might be interested in coming up with their own creative treatment modalities.

We have established a non-profit Sound Healing Research Foundation to help with the core mission of the school -- to bring Sound and Energy healing into the mainstream (and hospitals). The goal of the Foundation is to educate students and the public on how to access funding for Research Projects. The Foundation has also be designed to help attract funding for important Sound Healing research -- crucial to bringing Sound Healing into the mainstream. Students in the Degree Program get to do sound healing research projects on their own, or join with others who are doing Sound Healing Research within the Foundation.

The Foundation is the center of the ongoing research being done by the Virtual Reality Sound and Light Healing company, which is creating a wide range of new sound technologies. The first two Research Projects to be completed are: 1. The Sound of Love Research - We are doing research on the frequencies, musical intervals, and musical components that most open the heart to love -- particularly Universal Love. Once we have the research data, this information will be used within the Virtual Reality system to more effectively open people's hearts. The research will also be included in David Gibson's book, "The Sound of Love." 2. Research on the effectiveness of the Virtual Reality Healing System - The VR system will include a wide range of sounds and visuals that will be placed inside a VR image of the body. We will be testing the effectiveness of each of these sounds and visuals.

There are many other research projects on the plate. One of particular interest is mapping out the frequency of every part of the body -- Root/Soul frequencies, organ frequencies, body-field frequencies, cellular frequencies, and body tissue frequencies -- in order to find the harmonic symphony of a healthy person. Ultimately we are looking to find an individual's particular sound template (minus the distortions they have introduced). We believe that when we know these divine templates we will be able to resonate people back to health, and ultimately into higher states of consciousness.

We also look forward to working on unique and world changing research projects that any student might come up with. Essentially the Institute will be a clearing house for creative research ideas.

Realizing that research only goes so far in the mission of bringing Sound and Energy healing into the mainstream, the Institute has also created a wide range of mass media entertainment projects with the underlying goal of educating the masses about the effectiveness of sound and energy healing. We have created a major play (similar to the Cirque du Soleil plays) that incorporates Sound and Visual healing in 3D. We have also created a major movie production that also incorporates a full range of Sound and Light healing components. We feel that once the masses know about the effectiveness of sound, the masses will demand it, bringing it into the mainstream.

A SOUND CURRICULUM
The overall program is divided into five areas:
1. Core Courses
2. Inner Awareness and Transformation through Sound
3. Natural Acoustic Sound Healing Instruments
4. Sound Consciousness and Spirituality
5. Sound Therapy and Healing Labs and Practicum

The core courses give you an understanding of the basic structure of sound, and how sound can be used for various intentions --physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. We look at the history of sound healing and where the future is leading. We begin with the physics of sound, resonance and the harmonic structure of sound. We do a thorough examination of the physiology of the body and it's relation to the emotional and spiritual bodies -- and they work with sound and energy. We also explore the use of sound to bring people into various states of consciousness and shift individuals into particular brainwave states, such as delta, theta, alpha and gamma.

The classes on Inner Awareness are about doing your own inner work. The clearer of a vessel you are, the cleaner the energy that you transmit when working on people or clients. This work is about releasing deep patterns emotional and mentally. It's about healing yourself physically. It's also about learning how to use love and spirit in your work. As they say, "Spirit is much smarter than we are." As you experience these techniques for yourself, you also learn how to use them to help others heal themselves. We look at the structure of Music and Rhythm and experience how they can be used for healing, life enhancement, and raising consciousness. We then embark on many experiential and transformative workshops using sound and intention -- including those that combine sound with movement.

The classes on Natural Acoustic Instruments focus on using the Voice, Crystal Bowls, Tuning Forks, and a full range of other instruments for healing and raising consciousness. We particularly focus on how to use the voice for healing others and how to set sacred space. We practice toning, chants from all over the world, the power of mantra, and overtone singing. We also focus on the various types of tuning fork sets, and how to use them in a healing session.

The classes on Sound Consciousness and Spirituality are designed to give you an deeper understanding of how healing occurs, and what higher consciousness is in the first place. We look at how everything is connected at the quantum level, mathematically, and spiritually -- sound, music, color, light, geometries, chemistry, physics, consciousness and spirituality -- and how you can add these components to a Sound Healing session. 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. Understanding things at a deeper level helps you to be more in alignment with the true nature of reality. The more you are in alignment with reality of nature, and the natural flow of spirit, the more powerful your sound work will be.

Students take all this information into the lab where they begin their own exploration of the effect of sound upon themselves and others. In the Sound Healing Labs we play with various technologies that give us a glimpse of how sound is affecting us physiologically. We also practice creating and performing treatments on each other -- and on ourselves.

OUR MISSION
Globe Institute, through its Sound Healing and Therapy Program, is committed to fostering an environment that supports personal healing, inner transformation and scientific research. The Institute promotes inquiry, raises conscious awareness of sound and builds community. The College maintains openness and enthusiasm for both ancient and new techniques, in order to provide a complete perspective on all possible positive applications of sound. A leader in the emerging field of Sound Healing, we seek to bridge the gap between the experiential benefits of sound upon human beings with quantifiable and qualitative scientific findings. Our commitment to researching new technologies and techniques extends to our students, creating a learning environment ripe with challenge, openness, exploration and new ideas. We support the therapeutic sound community by sponsoring events that bring together students, practitioners, educators and researchers in the field to share findings, resources and further the field as a whole. Through the dissemination of information, the school seeks to create increased awareness and acceptance of the powerful effects of sound and music - in all manifestations - and the impact they have upon individuals, alternative healing centers and the entire medical industry.

WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?
Sound Healing, through various techniques and technologies, is the educated and conscious use of the energy of sound to reach identified goals and promote wellness in the human system – including the expansion of consciousness. Sound Healing is founded on the premise that all matter is vibrating at specific frequencies. Science has proven that sound, or vibration, has a strong impact upon substance. For example, the study of Cymatics has shown how sound creates geometric patterns in matter. Dr. Emoto has proven that sound changes the molecular structure of water. However, more importantly, sound changes consciousness. Many ancient civilizations and modern indigenous cultures have used sound to heal and access higher levels of consciousness for thousands of years.

There are a wide range of techniques that utilize sound as a tool for change. The most common and basic use of sound is for meditation and relaxation. Chanting, toning and overtone singing are some of the most powerful methods for resonating sound throughout the body. The use of nature sounds and natural instruments, such as crystal bowls and tuning forks, have specific healing frequencies and harmonics. Drumming and rhythm are now used by corporations to release stress and build team consciousness. Shamanic drumming takes people into altered states of consciousness. Sound is now being using by clinical psychologists to help children with certain learning disabilities. Binaural beat frequencies are used to entrain people into very specific states of consciousness. Sound is used to alter brainwave states to help people with sleep disorders and facilitate creative expression. Listening to one’s own root frequency enables an individual to create a more centered and grounded awareness within their life. ThIS technique uses root frequencies and binaural beats, played back through a sound table, to entrain people into specific brainwave states. Sound and music are also used to help with difficult life transitions, including birth and death. The medical community also uses sound and music in a variety of applications including during surgery to relieve pain, to break up gall stones and to relax muscles using ultrasound. Doctors are now finding the resonant frequency of organs in order to help vibrate them back into a healthy state. Perhaps most exciting is cutting-edge research that shows how sound might be used to disintegrate diseases such as cancer.

WHY STUDY SOUND HEALING AND THERAPY

Become A Sound Practitioner
The Sound Healing and PsychoAcoustics program is designed to provide students with the knowledge necessary to become a sound practitioner, or to integrate the many techniques learned into an already existing therapeutic practice. Additionally, we discuss techniques of clinical psychology to clearly define the “client – practitioner” relationship and ensure safe and ethical practices. Upon completion of the program, the school assists students in acquiring internships at alternative healing centers, including the Institute’s own Sound Health Center.

Raise Your Awareness And Consciousness
The program is designed to assist you in increasing awareness of your own sound landscape, enabling you to feel more grounded, emotionally clear and heart centered. Become aware of your own root frequency, where you feel clear, grounded and connected to your own center. When life’s challenges move you off center, you will be able to draw upon a variety of sound techniques to bring your self back to a calm and centered place. Discovering your own harmonic structure will enable you to remain centered for longer periods of time. As you gradually acquire a more stable and clear vibration, interactions with others become smoother, as fear and frustration diminish. You can then add a more uplifting vibration to the world with a true ability to support others.

THE LATEST IN CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY - Bringing Science and Esoteric Wisdom together
The program is focused on Natural Sound Healing but we also have a wide array of technology. If interested, you may experience and experiment with some of the technology. Even if not interested in the technology, you still receive the benefits of the research being done with our technology as we learn more about how sound affects us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

• Monitoring of Physiological Responses The Institute uses Biofeedback Equipment such as: EEG, Heart Monitors, and Galvanic Skin Response to monitor physiological responses to frequencies, musical intervals and music. Research is designed to help bring effective esoteric techniques into the mainstream. Students may use the equipment in labs and may use the equipment on their own research projects.

• Use of unique sound transmission devices. The Institute utilizes sound chairs and tables, each with built-in speakers, to effectively transmit sound through the human body. Students utilize the equipment during labs where they experience the wide range of sound healing products currently available in the market place, as well as offering them the opportunity to test the efficacy of their own projects. Additionally, the Institute utilizes the Neurophone which transmits ultrasonic sound directly into the brain. New, cutting-edge technologies for the transmission of sound into the human body are currently being researched and developed at the Institute.

• Use of the latest sophisticated sound analysis technology. Using the latest sound analysis program, Raven, from Cornell University, you will be able to see the underlying physical structure of nature sounds. Not only does this give you a deeper understanding of sound, but you can also use this information to add subtle power and magic to sounds used in your sound projects.
