As Trent Shuford reports through his organization, HealthyBeings.com, Einstein believed that everything in the universe, including our bodies, is made up of energy. He also understood that energy and matter are interchangeable, as described by his famous equation E=mc². Einstein theorized that illness and disease are caused by disruptions in the energy patterns within the body. Therefore, restoring balance to these energy patterns could potentially heal the body.

Many ancient and indigenous cultures have used sound and frequencies to transform the body, according to Shembra Carter, a breath coach facilitator whose work centers around moving stagnant energy out of the body. Noting that humans are made up of electromagnetic fields, she compares the human body to a musical instrument that needs to be tuned. "Bathing in healing frequencies can rebalance and reharmonize the body at a cellular level," she explains.
Studies have shown that the sound waves of instruments can have profound effects on the human body. For instance, sounds from the piano bring the nervous system into balance. Drumming builds the immune system and is highly effective for Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis. The flute can be used for gout, sciatica, insomnia and anger issues. The frequency of bells may be used for high blood pressure, heart and lung problems, allergies and asthma. The harp is used for depression and violin for tumors.
Research is leading us closer to the future of sound healing. It is healthier, safer and delivers better results. A new medical paradigm is emerging, and as Albert Einstein said, "the future of medicine will be the medicine of frequencies."
Recent research has shown that Einstein's theories on energy and frequency may have merit. In a study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers found that low-frequency electromagnetic fields can improve the healing of bones. Another study published in the journal PLOS ONE found that electromagnetic fields can improve the growth and differentiation of stem cells, which have the potential to regenerate damaged tissue.

The future of medicine may lie in the use of energy and frequency as a way to heal the mind and body. This approach, often referred to as energy medicine, is gaining acceptance in mainstream medicine. In fact, the National Institutes of Health has established the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health to study alternative approaches to healthcare, including energy medicine.
As we continue to explore the healing properties of energy and frequency, we may discover new and innovative ways to treat a wide range of conditions from chronic pain to mental health disorders. Einstein's legacy has provided a solid foundation for this field of study, and we can only imagine what breakthroughs the future holds.
His work on energy and frequency has far-reaching implications for the future of medicine. As we continue to explore this field of study, we may discover new and innovative ways to heal the mind and body. The growing body of research supporting energy medicine is a testament to Einstein's vision, and we can only hope to build upon his legacy in the years to come.
For employers, a 2003 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that pain-related productivity losses alone cost the U.S. economy $61.2 billion that year. Conditions often cited as large contributors to poor financial and health outcomes include anxiety, depression, diabetes and pain – the last two when improperly managed.

Fortunately, the music-as-medicine approach to treating presenteeism and other conditions with significant financial and health impact on profitability is a target-rich environment. Thousands of institutional and independent practitioners are hard at work within academic health centers, community hospitals, community centers, schools and at home throughout the U.S. to help treat many acute, chronic conditions not often associated with employers' presenteeism challenges.
One independent practitioners' outcomes are explored in a series called
She reported that many of her clients have benefited greatly with ailments from anxiety, cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression and other conditions. Often these recordings are played at bedtime while drifting off to sleep. This window of time allows the transition to unconscious information processing during sleep when the body does its maximum healing, repairing and restoration.
Responsible benefit advisers can best address presenteeism through tried-and-true music-as-medicine modalities that serve as both a fiscally and socially responsible approach to designing a client's benefits package. The best solutions come courtesy of trusted independent practitioners whose work is approved by the American Music Therapy Association and Certified Board for Medical Therapists. At a time when finding cost-effective ways to manage group health plans has become more challenging, alternative pathways to healing and good health such as music therapy never sounded so sweet!
