Sound…it is fundamental to the world. Babies crying, your favorite song, laughter, the ocean — these sounds and thousands more impact us both intellectually and emotionally. Sound also has a hidden power…to heal. In this week’s episode of Be HEALTHistic, Dr. Drew Sinatra welcomes Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, leading integrative neurologist, Ayurvedic practitioner and author of the new book, Sound Medicine: How to Use the Ancient Science of Sound to Heal the Body and Mind. They discuss how sound impacts the human body and brain, and explore the physiological facts of sound vibration — from altering mood to healing disease. Dr. Chaudhary shares how mantra meditation and other sound medicine practices can have a profound effect on both your mental and physical health. First, Dr. Chaudhary talks about our relationship with sound; how we use it for communication and entertainment but not in a more purposeful way, like improving our health. She explains how the universe is vibrating with sound, and that sound connects us to nature — which can create incredibly restorative experiences. Dr. Chaudhary shares her lifelong history with mantra meditation, how it works to quiet and cleanse the mind, and how chanting mantras and enjoying sound baths can impact your overall wellness. Next, the doctors discuss how mantras and sound medicine differ in the U.S. vs. India, how Dr. Chaudhary’s health center incorporates sound to treat chronic conditions, and how sound can even be used to help prevent the spread of infections. Dr. Chaudhary demonstrates a simple yet special mantra chant, and explains why you don’t need a teacher to get started with a regular practice. Finally, the doctors talk about the ability and willingness to surrender, which taps into the deepest part of yourself, creating greater awareness.
