What our customers are saying...
"As a music therapist, I know about the incredible therapeutic value of sound and vibration. I use the monochord to begin and end yoga classes, massage therapy sessions, and guided meditations. Because we synchronize with our sonic environment- a principle called "entrainment"- the monochord is a powerful tool that induces a parasympathetic response, reducing heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, pulse and brainwave activity. It facilitates a shift from the busy thinking and doing states to a calm feeling and being state, thereby promoting relaxation and preparing clients to enter and receive deep healing, and meditative states."
