Healing Through Sound: Karen Newell's Sacred Acoustics
I think, in the world of addiction, one of the biggest problems is that feeling of emptiness inside, and what we do is we look for the external world, the external things, to help us fill essentially spiritual holes deep inside.
Imagine if the key to overcoming addiction and finding inner peace was as simple as listening to the right sounds. In this episode of 'The Rehab', Dr. Mark Leeds sits down with Karen Newell, the Co-Founder of Sacred Acoustics, to explore how sound therapy can be a powerful ally in the journey to recovery. Sacred Acoustics creates unique audio recordings that use binaural beats, world instruments, and electronic sounds to help the brain reach states of deep meditation and relaxation.
These recordings are designed to aid in focusing, relaxing, sleeping, and even feeling love and enlightenment. Karen shares her personal experiences, including how sound therapy helped her father significantly reduce his smoking habit by easing his anxiety. She emphasizes that sound therapy can help individuals connect more deeply with their consciousness and play an active role in shaping their reality.
The episode also touches on the broader impacts of self-care and love, highlighting research that shows our heart's emotions can affect those around us. Karen advocates for teaching children and pregnant women about the benefits of sound therapy as a tool for fostering love and inner peace. If you're seeking new ways to support your mental health or aid in addiction recovery, this episode offers a fascinating look at the potential of sound therapy.
