What is Acoustic Resonance Technology™ (ART)?
Acoustic
Resonance Technology provides an environment for the
body/mind to able to experience the benefits of sound
healing in a more integrative way. Feeling the music
you hear provides an opportunity for us to come into
harmony physically, mentally, emotionally,
spiritually and environmentally through stimulating
our feeling sense. This entrainment of our body/mind
also often expands our awareness. When we begin to
listen and feel the music we naturally relax into the
harmonic flow.
• a·cous·tic (-kstk); adj. also a·cous·ti·cal
(-st-kl): Of or relating to sound, the sense of
hearing, or the science of sound. Designed to carry
sound.
• Resonance comes from the Latin verb resonare,
meaning to "return to sound". In physics, “the
response of an object or a system that vibrates in
step with an externally applied vibration.”
The brain sends and receives messages from the rest
of the body constantly. Our brains and all the
systems of our body are in a communication dance. The
brain is constantly receiving information from the
nerve cells and our hormones. The stress hormone,
simply put, limits the communication and eventually
inhibits the functioning of the immune system.
Therefore if we stay in a continual state of stress,
we reduce our ability to fight disease. When we relax
and move into a state of listening, and feeling joy,
we stimulate pleasure hormones or endorphins that
strengthen the energy dance within us.
Acoustic Resonance Technology helps stimulate the
natural relaxed state of body/mind. It “re-minds” us
of our natural Harmonic state.
What is Vibrational Medicine?
All of Life Wiggles. Everything
vibrates….
Our body, mind, thoughts, emotions. Vitamins,
minerals, herbs, food, plants and animals all vibrate
at particular frequencies. Music is also vibration.
We have all heard the phrase "Bird's of a feather
stick together". The field of Vibrational Medicine is
based upon the scientific principle that all matter
vibrates at particular frequencies, including our
physical, mental and emotional bodies. The "matter
that is with us" is dynamic. When we resonate with
frequencies of health, we stay healthy. When we
become stressed, "dis-eased" or "out of tune", we are
limiting the range of frequencies we are resonating
with and thus become
"unhealthy". Similar to a piano, when one string is
out of tune or not resonating in harmony with the
rest, the entire song is affected.
Vibrational
Medicine uses various techniques to bring "the matter
that is with us" back into balance or harmony. Below
is a short list of more commonly practiced forms of
vibrational medicine.

Acupuncture
o Reiki
o Healing Touch
o Cranial Sacral
o Sound Therapy
o Aroma Therapy
o Light Therapy

What is Sound Healing?
Sound and
music have long been recognized and utilized as a key
element in the healing process throughout multiple
cultures for thousands of years. Music has also been
considered the "language of angels" or a direct link
to the divine. It was a predominant part of early
teachings of the Greeks, Chinese, East Indians,
Tibetans, Egyptians, Native Americans, Mayas, Aztecs
and more.
IF you have ever experienced a piece of music that
has shifted you mentally, emotionally and/or
physically, back in time and space; or felt the
chiming of church bells or Tibetan bowls ring through
you (as if for a moment you were part of the wave),
then you innately understand the basis of sound
healing.
Sound is a carrier wave of intention. Sound Healing
is simply applying the therapeutic frequencies of
sound and/or music to the body/mind of a person with
the intention of bringing them into a state of
harmony. The dictionary defines ‘harmony’ as
‘congruity of parts to their whole or to one
another’.
When we are in harmony. We feel energized,
aligned, inspired, relaxed, and resourceful. We feel
a sense of mental, emotional, physical and
environmental peace. We feel Healthy.
When
we are in dis-harmony. We feel separated, isolated,
tense and combative. We feel like a part of us is
“out of tune”, "out of sync". We feel a sense of
‘dis-ease’ physically, mentally, emotionally,
spiritually and/or environmentally.

What music works best?
While any
music can be used with the SO Sound products, some is
going to resonate with you and through you better
than others. Because music is a carrier wave of
intention, some music is going to be more healing
than others. We at SO Sound are passionate about
researching, testing, and developing musical programs
that will provide the best opportunity for health and
well-being. We invite you to check out SO Tunes, our
musical programs specifically orchestrated for
targeted health and wellness goals. You can also see
our music recommendations list.
Can I use my own music?
Yes, you
can. We encourage you to try music you like, with the
understanding that some music will resonate more
fully than others. Music that has been highly
processed electronically will typically not resonate
as well as music that is well balanced harmonically
or acoustically. Plug a live bass or guitar into one
of our products and you will be amazed at how great
it feels, which makes them a natural fit for
musicians and music therapists.
We also
encourage you to check out SO Tunes, programs
orchestrated specifically for our products and
designed to support various bio-energetic, health and
wellness goals. We also offer a list of musical
programs that we have tested and recommend, please
contact us for more
information.
Is it safe for everyone?
Like
anything else it is always good to check with your
preferred health care provider before engaging in the
use of any new products or programs. People with pace
makers are advised not to use the products, due to
the electro-magnetics involved. We also recommend
that pregnant women use the product at a very low
level of resonance and volume.
How do the products work?
The heartbeat of these
phenomenal musical massage “instruments” is the SO
SoundHeart® technology. Attached at specific
locations, the SO Sound System uses an amplified
audio signal to resonate the surface of the chair,
treatment table, pad, floor, bed or other products.
The use of advanced light and moldable materials
integrated into the design encourages consistent
resonance. This unprecedented harmonically
intelligent design is leading the industry in Bio
Acoustic delivery and is promising innovations not
seen or felt in any other products.
To Listen and feel your favorite CD or one of SO
Sound’s special music journeys (SO Tunes); you simply
plug in your CD player, iPod, MP3 stereo system or
DVD player into the amplifier that comes with each
product.
You will notice that you can adjust the level of
volume you hear through your external speakers or
headphones and the level of resonance your feel
through the SO Sound product, separately.
Where can I go to experience it?
Please contact us for list spas, clinics, fitness studios and other places in your area.
Feeling is Knowing
When
consumers use a SO Sound product for the first time,
they are “WOWED” by the fact that this technology
allows them to actually become immersed in every note
of the music being played in a truly harmonic way.
Many say...."I feel like I become the music"!
People also often share that for the first time they
have an understanding of what it is like to meditate.
They are amazed at how much more aware they are of
breathing patterns, patterns of stress or dis-ease,
and how to make simple adjustments that promote
deeper circulation, relaxation…. better health and
well being.
We believe that “feeling is knowing” and that knowing
empowers us to make response-able chooses in our life
experience. Once you experience the benefits of SO
Sounds unsurpassed Hi-Fidelity Musical Touch
Technology™, you will know the difference.
Discover Harmonic Intelligence®


If you
have ever felt irritated, disconnected or not able to
communicate clearly; you know what
dis-harmony is. On the
contrary, if you have ever experienced a sense of
effortless flow, grace, coherent communication or a
feeling of “being in the state of love”, you also
know what
harmony is.
The term harmony originates in the Greek harmonía,
meaning "joint, agreement, concord". In Ancient Greek
music, the term was used to define the combination of
contrasted elements: a higher and lower note.
At SO Sound we promote the creation of environments
that enable us to “tune-in” and discover how to find
Harmony no matter what is going on around us or
moving through us. Learn more…

Harmonic Intelligence™ Course Description
As we explore cultures of
ancient times, we discover that many used Music &
Sound as a key ingredient for creating &
maintaining optimal health or Harmony. Discussions of
using music and sound as a potent medical application
can be found in ancient text throughout Greece,
Egypt, Central & South America, Australia, Asia
and Rome.
Within the Mayan culture,
the Tzolkin, the Mayan sacred calendar, or count of
days, is regarded as a universal, 'periodic table of
the harmonics of time-space,' that continually and
comprehensively expresses every possible permutation
of the manifest Divine Spirit, throughout Creation.
Pythagoras has been acknowledged as one of the first
to share his perception of the universe as a vast
musical instrument. He talked about his ability to
hear the “music of the spheres”. Through his and the
teachings of others, many came to appreciate that the
body was a “sounding board” which responded
immediately to the vibrations surrounding it.
Therefore, music could be used to restore equilibrium
and “relax the soul from excess, mental, emotional or
physical trauma”. Which is why in ancient Mayan,
Egyptian and Greek cultures music was used in the
healing temples. ”. The theory that all things are
constructed upon frequencies and/or harmonic patterns
continues to advance.
Today, quantum physicists
are proving that our universe is made up of patterns
of frequency as well. Everything that exists in the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual realms
vibrates, which is obvious if you consider that
electrons are always moving and vibrating. SO when we
ask, “what is the matter with you”…. we are actually
speaking quite scientifically. All matter, including
our body, herbs, food and its accompanying vitamins,
minerals and other nutrients could be examined from a
frequency perspective which may explain their
biological effects.
Like Pythagoras, we
believe that each of us individually and collectively
have a “response-ability” to
Discover Harmonic
Intelligence…as
he shared “a man must select his food wisely and so
in philosophy, art and music, we must discriminate if
we wish to enjoy peace of mind, body and soul. For
music and all its phases of vibration dramatically
alter the state of the neuro-psychic centers in man”.
