about sonikwell™

According to studies, both physical and mental hardships can be managed with the help of sound therapy (also known to sonikwell™ as sound-aided release). The cello's distinctive tonal resonance permeates the body and induces profound calm. The sound vibrations of the cello, according to research, are similar to those in the human body. As a result, stress and worry can be released, and the body can start to recover both emotionally and physically.

In order to affect a person on a core level, the sonikwell™ experience makes use of the science of vibrations and energy produced by the cello along with sound reinforcement equipment to envelope audience members in a soothing wave of music.

benefits of music on physical and mental health.

“The cello can be used to bring deep relaxation, emotional release, and rejuvenation in many ways. For deep relaxation, the cello can be used to produce slow, soothing tones. This music can help to reduce stress, increase focus and clarity, and provide a sense of peace and calm. For emotional release work, the cello can be used to create music that reflects and amplifies the emotions being processed. This can help to provide a safe, supportive space to explore and express these intense emotions. Lastly, for rejuvenation, the cello can be used to play uplifting and energizing music. This music can help to create a sense of joy and optimism and can provide a renewed sense of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for life.”

“Music also has a positive effect on the immune system, boosting levels of anti-microbial proteins, while mood-influencing hormone levels are regulated by music, reducing stress levels. Susanna Wilson took part in a research project playing Bach cello suites in the waiting room of the antenatal clinic of a London hospital. Researchers measured the blood pressure of expectant mothers and found that lower blood pressure readings were measured after listening to the cello.”

Specifically, music has been shown to modify heart rate, respiration rate, perspiration, and other autonomic systems (Blood et al., 1999), supporting reports that many people use music to achieve physical and psychological balance. Lifestyle choices that reduce stress are thought to be highly protective against diseases (Dimsdale, 2008), and music may be among these (Dileo et al., 2007; Nilsson, 2008).

La Sierra University - Sonikwell Experience

We were welcomed to @lasierrauniversity to offer the Student Life Staff a tranquil and healing space. The pandemic left a lasting scar on the student body, and last year, adjusting to the constantly shifting environment of minimal personal interaction was tough to bear. The team wanted to work together to prioritize their own mental health as the new year got underway. Because “We can’t pour from an empty cup”, as one staff member said - they were able to draw from Sonikwell.

A Forest for the Trees - Laundi Keepseagle

The marriage of music and nature is a beautiful union that has long been celebrated in art and culture. From the stirring sounds of birds singing in the trees to the soothing rush of a waterfall, the natural world is full of musical inspiration The cello is an instrument that is often associated with nature, perhaps due to its rich, resonant sound that can evoke images of the natural world. The cello's deep, mellow tones have been compared to the soothing rush of a waterfall or the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind. In many ways, the cello's sound is perfectly suited to capturing the beauty and majesty of nature, making it an ideal instrument for compositions inspired by the outdoors.
