Sonikwell for Healing Dialogue and Action
Music has a unique power to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers, becoming a universal language that fosters understanding and empathy among people from diverse backgrounds. Its melodies and rhythms resonate on an emotional level, creating connections that words often cannot. By sharing stories of joy, pain, love, and struggle, music opens pathways for individuals to relate to one another's experiences, fostering a sense of shared humanity. This emotional connection promotes healing by providing a safe space for expression and reflection, encouraging open dialogue about past mistakes and inspiring collective action towards reconciliation and positive change. In this way, music not only entertains but also serves as a powerful catalyst for social cohesion and transformation.
Introducing “Sonikwell”
Sonikwell
A unique, sonic wellness experience - Providing deep relaxation, emotional release, and rejuvenation through mindfully crafted music compositions
about sonikwell
Sound therapy (Sound aided release) can be used to manage physical and mental health hardships. The unique tones created by the cello penetrate the core to create deep relaxation. Research shows that the cello’s sonic vibrations closely mirror those that are native to the human voice. This can release stress and anxiety and begin to restore the body both mentally and physically.
The Sonikwell experience utilizes the science of vibrations and energy produced by the cello aided by electronic equipment to affect an individual on a cellular level.

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).

The most significant results of the music interventions on the psychological side can be identified in the aspects more closely related to mood, especially in the reduction of the depressive and anxiety's component, and in the improvement of the emotional expression, communication and interpersonal skills, self esteem and quality of life.

NIH hosted a workshop in January 2017 bringing together neuroscientists, music therapists, and supporters of both biomedical research and the arts to discuss the current landscape of research on the interaction of music and the brain as well as how music is used as therapy.
