The Window of Harmony: A Mini-workshop
\r\nSound Therapy to Reduce the Negative Effects of Stress<\/h1>\r\n\r\nThis Mini-workshop is centered around the use of Sound Therapy to reduce the negative impacts of stress on you. It does this by presenting layperson friendly information about how your brain\/mind\/body system operates to either increase or decrease your stress response. And it includes four (4) highly effective stress reducing musical compositions that have a proven track record.

\r\n\r\nIn fact, just listening to this type of music for merely 20 minutes, once or twice a day, can dramatically decrease the negative impacts of stress and increase your feelings of wellness.

\r\n\r\nI created the psychoacoustic compositions, noted below, to harmonize the nervous system, to increase alpha and\/or theta brain wave activity, which have been clinically recognized for their stress reducing effectiveness.

\r\n\r\nResearch in the areas of music and sound healing therapies, as well as psychoacoustics and neuropsychology have clearly demonstrated that certain types of music have deeply healing and stress-reducing effects.

\r\n\r\n(Note: For those readers interested in some of the science behind these claims, go to the Acoustic Brain Research section of the website (www.tomkenyon.com) or click here<\/a><\/u><\/strong>.)

\r\n\r\nAs the world continues to grapple with the challenges of the current pandemic, individual stress levels are accelerating at alarming rates with negative impacts on social relationships and society as a whole. This is why I have chosen to offer four highly effective stress reducing compositions in a Mini-workshop format. This will allow you to work with these different sonic creations, at your own pace, to reduce your stress levels and to increase your personal feelings of wellness. As with all of the Mini-workshops offered on this website, this is being offered at a discounted rate and there is an option to receive this free of charge if you are experiencing financial hardship.

The Window of Harmony<\/strong><\/h3>
\r\n\r\nThe recordings that comprise this Mini-workshop can each be ordered separately, if you prefer, by going to the Online Store. But the bundle described below is cheaper than purchasing them individually.

\r\n\r\nOceana<\/em><\/strong> is approximately 20 minutes long and was specifically designed to increase alpha activity and decrease stress. It is one of three tracks from a CD called Soma.

\r\n\r\nSolace<\/em><\/strong> is a harmonically balanced composition that not only increases alpha activity and engages the healing aspects of the parasympathetic nervous system but also imparts feelings of calmness and comfort\u2014thus the title Solace<\/em>.

\r\n\r\nWave Form I<\/em><\/strong> is a short unusual psychoacoustic \u201csound-field\u201d that repeats itself for 20 minutes. This composition is based on the Perfect Harmonic Fifth and has been documented to increase theta activity\u2014a deeper state of relaxation than alpha with far reaching stress reducing effects. Listening to this with stereo headphones creates an effect that some listeners have described as a \u201cbrain massage.\u201d

\r\n\r\nHomage to Soul<\/em><\/strong> is a short piece I composed that was based on the work of Dr. Lozanov of The Lozanov Institute in Bulgaria. To record the composition, I formed an ensemble that consisted of Flute, Cello, Guitar and Voice. The music generates an increase in alpha activity and is preferred by some listeners who favor acoustic instruments.
