Vibroacoustic
Sound Therapy
Imagine
bathing in an ocean of sound that caresses your whole
body and touches your innermost self. While lying on a
table embedded with high quality transducers, music and/or
specialized frequencies are played that match your body’s
needs. Some of the many benefits of experiencing this
include:
Based
in physics, this sound therapy analyzes your body's needs
through a voice computer analysis program. It tells us
which muscles, hormones, nutritional, biochemical, vertebral
imbalances are present. It can also show the presence
of pathogens and toxins. The imbalances are then brought
back into tune through application of sound either on
the sound table or a CD which you take home. Learn
more about this remarkable therapy...

RESEARCHER
Research
with Surgical Patients
Dr.
Jonas’s doctoral research (1986) was having one-day
surgery patients listen to music pre- and intra-op surgery.
The results showed many benefits including decreased amounts
of anesthesia needed, fewer side effects in recovery,
and increased satisfaction with the overall surgical experience.
The following years the research was continued with surgical
patients using the Hemi-Sync Surgical Series. These patients
all experienced benefits from the use of the tapes including
decreased anxiety and pain, shorter hospital stays, and
fewer side effects and complications.
She authored a Cardiac Healing CD with the Monroe Institute
for a study at Univ. of Conn. that demonstrated a significant
decrease in state and trait anxiety in the cardiac infarct
patients.
While working in the Mercy Hospital (Springfield MA) she
authored several tapes for the Chronic Pain Program that
were significant in their ability to assist these patients
to decrease and manage pain.
Her Blessings CD is currently being used in a study at
Western Conneticut University with cardiac patients to
increase their levels of spiritual awareness and decrease
physical symptoms.
