  3. The Science of Sound: Is It Just Woo, or Is It Wired Into Us?

    The Science of Sound: Is It Just Woo, or Is It Wired Into Us?

    Send us a text Do you believe that a microwave can heat food or pop popcorn? Do you believe in WiFi? I’m guessing yes, because you are listening to this podcast using it! If you believe in that, then I have good news for you – you already understand the science behind sound therapy. Microwaves, Wi-Fi, and sound therapy all rely on frequencies—vibrations that travel through space or matter: microwaves and Wi-Fi use electromagnetic waves to excite molecules or transmit data invisibly, and sound therapy uses mechanical vibrations to physically stimulate biological systems. Together, this shows us how invisible waves can have very real effects on the world around us—and inside us.  What if the key to helping your anxious pet relax—or heal a traumatized animal—wasn't medication... but music? Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of animal sound therapy—where science, sound, and soul all come together to help our animal companions feel better, sleep better, and maybe even connect with us on a deeper level. Special Contest - Starting July 15, 2025 Enter to win a free* animal sound therapy session. Enter HERE Now!! Deadline to enter is August 15, 2025. Winner will be announced by the end of August.  *Winners must be within 45 minutes travel distance to Alliston, ON Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28093218/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33939813/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11319718/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39134584/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8092926/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8772971/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31941064/ https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/17/2211 https://journals.lww.com/nrronline/fulltext/2024/06000/vibration_reduced_anxiety_like_behavior_relies_on.40.aspx Follow Pet Grocer on Facebook Follow Pet Grocer on Instagram Visit our Website **The content in this podcast is not meant to replace veterinary advice.

These fields can be affected by the intention of a healer, potentially promoting healing.Quantum Entanglement: In quantum physics, particles can become entangled, meaning the state of one can instantly affect the state of another, no matter the distance. Some proponents of energy healing draw parallels to this concept, suggesting that consciousness and intention might create connections that facilitate healing across space.Mind-Body Connection: There's evidence that mental states can influence physical health. Practices like meditation or visualization promote well-being, suggesting that focusing energy and intention might have tangible effects.Placebo Effect: The power of belief in healing as a remedy has been proven time and time again.
