“Over 99 percent of the molecules inside the body are water molecules and the body is two-thirds water by volume. . . [thus the] inner electrical environment of our bodies . . . is able to be influenced in a powerful manner through sound vibrations.”

“Sound therapy has profound effects on the body, and the mind. The massage is above all a method of relaxation, and most people will reach this state of relaxation quickly, even during their first session. . . . the clients breathing and heart rate will start to slow down, and the body will begin to absorb the waves of vibration into its tissues. . . . This relaxed state allows the body to repair itself. . . . The immune system is at its best when we are relaxed.”
