SOUND THERAPY SYSTEMS

SOUND THERAPY SYSTEMS
by K. Megan Scott, PhD and Benedict Messana, MD

A new and exciting form of healing therapy is attracting a great deal of attention from the community of health practitioners and, more importantly, from their patients.

Many people who have experienced a session with Ray Boehne’s Sound Therapy
System ™ refer to it as "Healing Thunder" or a "Thunder Session". These terms accurately describes a process that uses the recorded sound of a 20 second lightning bolt, slowed down and extended to last 30 minutes. The patient in such a "Thunder Session" lies comfortably on their back, surrounded by speakers in such a way as to create a "cocoon" of sound vibration.

These Thunder Therapy Sessions appear to produce profound effects in many of those who experience the process. A number of people who have been through a "Healing Thunder" therapy session have written letters to Mr. Boehne describing their experiences. A review of these letters strongly suggests the presence of a powerful healing force being imparted during "Thunder Therapy" sessions.

A common thread running through the comments written to Mr. Boehne was the experience of pain relief. Many of those who come for "Thunder Sessions" are seeking symptomatic relief from chronic pain—most commonly either headaches or musculoskeletal pain. All respondents who came to a session with pain, finished the session feeling remarkably improved. Many report complete relief of their discomfort after 30 minutes of "Healing Thunder."

"I came in with a headache and 30 minutes later it was gone. After the first treatment, I was able to discontinue prescription drugs completely."

"Afterwards, I felt like all my chronic pain was softened like melting butter. My range of movement is radically improved. I am elated!"

"I have had migraine headaches for 20 years. This morning I had a migraine before a session. The treatment took the headache away."

"My upper and middle back was in pain and now the pain is entirely gone."

"I must say, for a skeptic, I have certainly turned 180 degrees to a complete believer in this unusual but very effective method of pain relief. If it only worked 75% of the time it would still be a miracle cure by my standards."

Almost all (reporting) participants described a profound sense of a meditation-like state associated with a deep physical and emotional relaxation:

"The Healing Thunder Sounds seemed to instantly transport me into a deep meditational space—the only experience I could relate it to was a sensory deprivation floatation tank."

"It was so strange because it wasn’t like waking from sleep and I had not been aware of myself like during a daydream—I was just GONE. It was all so peaceful and safe and felt so wonderful."

"I was utterly relaxed, not sleeping, but in a timeless state unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It was a wonderful gift!"

"The most totally relaxing sensation I have ever known."

This seemingly profound mode of treatment deserves the attention of therapists and medical practitioners of all backgrounds. Widespread use of "Healing Thunder" treatments could offer substantial symptomatic relief to many chronically suffering patients. Future clinical trials of this therapy will be needed to demonstrate statistically significant efficacy. It also seems likely that many, as of yet undiscovered, additional benefits will become manifest as the medical and alternative therapy communities embrace the Sound Therapy System™.
