Wellbeing Through Sound Awareness
Sound is vibration. We don’t just hear it through our ears, we often feel it in our bodies.
Each person experiences sound differently. Your mood on a given day or personal life circumstances can influence how you perceive certain sounds.
Sound Sensory Challenges
Some sounds are soothing, while others may feel uncomfortable or even distressing, especially if linked to past experiences. A single sound can be relaxing to one person and triggering to another.
Sound sensitivity is a common challenge and plays a significant role in mental and emotional wellbeing.
Sound can also stimulate other senses, including sight, touch, taste, and smell. Some individuals experience synesthesia, where they see sound as colours, words, or numbers.
By becoming more aware of how sound affects you, you can navigate your environment more effectively – an important step towards supporting mental health.
One person’s sound is another person’s noise
Sound is highly individual. What may be pleasant to one person can be overwhelming to another.
Your perception of sound can shift depending on your emotional state or what’s happening in your life at any given moment.
Using Sound for Wellbeing
Sound is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool in supporting wellbeing – particularly in educational settings. It can be used to help students relax, focus, or manage sensory sensitivities.
We offer a range of approaches to exploring sound in the classroom, from relaxation sessions to practical strategies for promoting calm and focus.
Our training and resources equip educators with the skills to use sound mindfully and effectively to support wellbeing.
