Samonas Sound Therapy CDs
 
Samonas stands for Spectrally Activated Music of Optimal NAtural Structure.
The Samonas system is a powerful and sophisticated tool for auditory intervention based on the findings and experience of classic music therapy, neurobiological research and understanding of brain functioning.
Samonas Sound Therapy is a processing of therapeutic music that provides direct stimulation to the middle ear, cochlea, auditory nerve and cerebral cortex and indirect stimulation to the entire central nervous system.
Samonas Sound Therapy teaches an individual to listen and trains the auditory system so that the full range of sound can be processed without distortion, hypersensitivity or frequency loss.
This auditory training aids in the processing of language while eliminating the distractions of ambient sound.
Samonas is relatively inexpensive compared to most sound treatments and through the series of CDs can be used within the home.
Samonas combines and represents the knowledge of Nature, Physics of Acoustic Sounds and the development of Psycho-Acoustic Structures relating to all parts of the human organism.
Learn about the Creator of Samonas
Samonas Sound Therapy comes from the "Klangstudio Lambdoma" of German scientist and musician Ingo Steinbach. Steinbach's highly original work should be seen in the tradition of the great Alfred Tomatis, but it extends Tomatis' ideas in several important ways.
Tomatis and Steinbach agree that music's overtones (high-frequency tones that you may not even notice) can profoundly energize and invigorate our ears, brain and total body. But Steinbach stresses the importance of using enjoyable, euphoric, audiophile quality CD recordings, because he found that the brain is more responsive to pleasant sounds.
From his background in the physics of sound and music theory, and building on the work of Tomatis, he developed ways to record music that preserves the special spatial qualities of music and nature sounds that is usually lost in the recording process. Given the breakthroughs in recording and reproduction technology with the advent of CD's, these qualities can now be reproduced and made generally available. Sonas is the trademarked name for music and nature sounds recorded with this special technology developed at Steinbach's Klangstudio Lambdoma in Germany.
Samonas recordings of music and nature sounds take the technology of Sonas one step further. Given the importance of high frequencies to the brain, there was a need to enhance these high frequencies (the overtones) in a natural way. Though it is technically a complex, essentially what is done with Samonas recordings is to boost the high frequencies of the recordings, lowering the base frequencies in a way that maintains the same energy for the whole base tone with its overtones. The result is beautiful music and nature sounds with enhanced high frequencies.
Feed the brain and body through the ear:
Steinbach's Sound Therapy entails listening every day - for four weeks to seven months or more - to classical music that is specially recorded and specially activated via a Steinbach Envelope Curve Modulator to include a complex overtone frequency matrix ranging from 5 to 20,000 Hz. Steinbach's special CDs feature his own hand-selected musicians, instruments and recording environments, and meticulous production. Heard through high-quality headphones and top-quality equipment, the music has a startling richness. It provides a micro-massage to the middle ear and stimulation to the inner ear, resulting in the specific input the brain needs to process the full range of sound necessary for the brain's development (rather than the limited range in our normal environment). This in turn stimulates full functioning of body and nervous system.
What does "listening to Samonas" mean?
Listening to Samonas means listening to beautiful music or sounds of nature
There are many different CDs utilizing different intensities
of 21 different selections of music and sounds of nature.
Some of the CDs are designed for stereo use.
Major parts of Samonas are to be used with a good pair of headphones.
The secret of the power of Samonas is the choice of an optimal music selection
fitting to the needs of the individual.
Spectral Activation
Spectral activation of Sounds is one of the essential features of Samonas Sound Therapy.
Spectral activation trains the auditory system by providing those elements that trigger the human ability
to discriminate and to listen in a pure and enriched form.
An Easy Explanation of Spectral Activation
Spectral activation is like using a magnifying glass to identify subtle elements on a picture you are looking at.
Like a magnifying glass Samonas Sound therapy acts as a temporary assistance.
Once the ability to listen improves, then the period of using Samonas will be over.
A more detailed explanation of Spectral Activation
All genuine natural sounds have an individual wave form/shape, like a fingerprint. Changes of volume and intensity
will alter this fingerprint slightly, without disturbing its identity. The human ability to discriminate sounds
is triggered by this individual signature of any natural sound. If we are able to discriminate between the voices
of our friends at a party, or to distinguish the teacher's voice from the background noise of the classroom
our auditory system is operating on the variation of the signatures of these acoustic fingerprints.
The process of spectral activation intensifies the differences between the tiny variations of sound signatures
mirroring their intensity and dynamic range. Put more simply, spectral activation is like cleaning up a sound
and giving it an additional polish to make it easier for the auditory system to identify and discriminate.
Spectral Activation is not...
... simply increasing the intensity of the high frequency range.
It is a modulation intensifying the significance of the harmonics of all genuine sounds.
Listen & Enjoy
The healing and relaxing quality of music have been used since the
beginning of human culture hundreds of thousands of years ago. Sounds of
nature are the common elements of all living creatures since the earliest
development of life. They are the mirror of the environment in which we live.
Think of a motion picture with music to express the emotion of the
scene.
Countless books give proof of this knowledge, but it is much more than
just a theoretical truth. The influence of music and sounds of nature is
a direct experience for all of us. The anatomy of our bodies displays it
and it is engraved in our interaction, the memory of an electron, where every
tiny particle reflects the surrounding in which it exists, regardless whether it
is a singing bird out in nature, an orchestra in Carnegie Hall or an experiment
in quantum physics where the experimentor influences the outcome of the
experiment.
For this reason, we can say that music, the sounds of nature and
the human being are one. Music is the expressed intention of the human
being and the sounds of nature are the voice of creation.
Understanding this, we have learned that Samonas is multidimensional.
Every single sound carries the joy of the musicians, the symphony of teamwork and
the underlying motivation to help others, which are the motor of this system.
Samonas can be used .....
1) In your home to help create a nice sound environment
2) In the classroom to assist children in staying on task.
3) In the office to create a warm comfortable work environment.
4) As a therapeutic tool to reach goals related to de-stress,
motivation, relaxation, productivity, creativity, energy, learning,
language and communication.
Note: There are many more uses of Samonas, this is simply a list
to get you started.
