Music Medicine: Sound At A Cellular Level | Dr. Lee Bartel | TEDxCollingwood

How does music as sound and vibration impact your body and brain? Dr. Lee Bartel explores how sound can stimulate cells in your body and brain to reduce the impact of Fibromyalgia pain, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Depression, and even increase blood flow. It shows how a common consumer vibroacoustic device is used to treat these health conditions. Lee Bartel is Professor Emeritus of Music and Health and Music Education and at the University of Toronto and Member of the Board and Chair of the Research and Education Committee for the Artists’ Health Alliance. He served as Faculty of Music Associate Dean of Research, and was the Founding Director of the Music and Health Research Collaboratory (MaHRC) at University of Toronto from 2011 - 2015.

I was on my deathbed in the hospital 4 years ago. I listened to healing vibration sounds on YouTube with my headphones..I walked out of that hospital after 6 months!!! I have chronic pacenratiits and other problems. The doctors say I should not be alive and walking around with only half a pancreas...I listen almost every night to healing vibration sounds on YouTube..I am sure these sounds have helped heal me and keep me going!!! Thank you Mr. Tesla for your hard work in this area and for bringing it to the world's attention!

As a 12 yr old kid in rural northern Michigan, I spent a lot of my time outside in the woods, in the pines. I'd get up early on a weekend day, get dressed and go out to the woods, I was compelled I had a craving for it because it just felt so good to be out there and I had to do it. It was a deep pure feeling of maybe awe, way more than just observing peaceful nature, I was entranced by the beauty. I remember clearly, walking into the trees after a heavy snow, finding a good spot and just sitting, leaning against a tree, soaking up what I can only describe as magnificence. I'd literally feel a strong vibration flowing all around and through me, and everything felt perfect. I thought it's so perfect I can feel it, this is what perfect feels like. I've since concluded that the trees were somehow talking to me. Been a long time but those times stand out in my life, I've not felt that feeling from anything else.

I’m a sound healer using native and shamanic medicine instruments, I have seen and felt the healing power of sound. I am so grateful to be a vessel to facilitate this form of healing and wellness

[IrieVibration]

frogs sound in a rainy nights, crickets in a silent nights, raindrops, birds chirps whenever i hear it its just like healing vibration and i call natures frequency..amazing

[iansingsiansings]

"Musical medicine at the cellular level."
40 Hz, low E.
For 25 + yrs i have been strumming/picking my acoustic guitars, playing the "E" chord as a meditation.
"Everyman's chord"
Thank you Dr. Bartel...

At a singing bowl healing session, one very deep note resonated so strongly with me that I felt like it was reverberating in my head and I didn’t want it to leave me and end through what I thought was going to be my ears. It was totally ecstatic and completely energised me. I’m not musical and have no idea of which notes are what! A magical experience at 74 years old.

[aquarionho]

Old medicine being rediscovered (again) as “children” begin to grow up and remember what they had forgotten during their childhood amnesia.
Keep up the good work.

Well, I'm a music nut and I have been a musician most of my life. I've known all along that music has an effect on people. We could see it every night on the dance floor by what songs people responded to. Harmony is pleasing to the human ear but dissonance is not. I'm convinced that the Beatles were the best musical group in history and I think it was based on the harmony of Lennon and McCartney. People loved hearing that harmony. When I played in an orchestra and when I sang in a large choir there were moments when everybody in the room felt something. We had perfectly harmonized on a single note and held it and it sent a chill down your spine. I just can't say enough about the benefits of music. I can remember every song I've ever heard. Definitely, music can heal and I think every town in America should play music in the town square at least every weekend.

We cannot simultaneously eliminate nature and expect to prosper without it.

I’m a nurse and have been doing my own informal work w vibroaccoustics hoping to reduce pharmaceutical use. . At a local pain clinic within a half hour or less we reduced pain and anxiety from high numbers to low or even zero. It was mind blowing. I was impressed.

[e.mcm.]

Wow! He deserves an standing ovation!! I would've applauded when he said described the results on every patient!! Deserves a Nobel prize.

[courtneybrubaker]

I've often thought this calming music should be playing at hospitals, rehabs and dentist office.

I have Vagus Nerve damage from childhood with Fibromyalgia starting at about age 35. Vagus nerve disorder covers a wide and deep, comprehensive parts of the bodily systems that get pinched nerve manifestations. This causes organ/heart and other malfunctions. I'm 70, quad bypass 9 months ago, emergent.
I do Hz/Vibration combos on YouTube for several focused healing needs. Dad knew RR Rife and had his small, mobile hz/vibration box so I grew up with this though lost it in my 30s.
I am glad to have found your talk on this, restores my faith and resolve to continue healing!! Many Blessings!!

[yvonnegermainedufault]

What you share about non-invasive frequency treatments of 40 Hz is very encouraging. This appears to help with cancer cells, Parkinsons, MS, risks of strokes and heart failure and depression. Wonderful for cardiac and bloodflow treatments too! Wow! I hope you will publish and share more double blind studies in the future. How amazing it took me 5 years to find this. Thank you Dr Lee Bartel. So many people need to know about energy healing through frequency and music. Idea of sound of crickets being music medicine ... hmm.... The Japanese used to have crickets as pets in little fancy cages. Maybe they were knowingly practicing music medicine at the cellular level centuries ago and forgot why they caged pet crickets.

[chi_phan]

i'm sold. i started listening to healing music during my spiritual awakening and the videos came onto my youtube feed.

[MeditationalState]

*Our channel is transforming lives DAILY based on these frequencies and many others. Obviously pharmaceutical companies don't want people to know about us, but hey! Who cares!*

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” — Nikola Tesla

To understand anything non-physical, one needs a certain level of creativity and imagination. Frequencies are hard to see but easy to feel.

PLEASE KEEP MOVING FORWARD AS A GIFT TO SOCIETY--THANK YOU

When I bought a puppy from Georgia he had to fly from Georgia to Long Island I don't think he enjoyed that trip very much. At night I would play Beethoven on my laptop while he was in his cage to prevent the puppy crying all night long, it worked. He grew up to be a very nice German Shepherd. With no hip dysplasia.
