How to Use Resonant Voice Therapy Techniques

Strong and clear vocals can increase confidence and help you express yourself more freely in both professional and personal environments. But sometimes, your vocal tract — comprising several resonating chambers such as your throat and mouth — may become out-of-balance and cause difficulty communicating effectively.

Resonant voice therapy techniques reduce vocal cord strain and promote healthy vibrations that support recovery from issues like hoarseness or pitch difficulties. Learn more about RVT techniques here.

Warm-Ups

Warming up is the practice of performing exercises or movements designed to loosen and loosen up muscles prior to exertion; it is widely utilized across disciplines including physical fitness, sports, acting and singing. Warming up has long been used to increase performance by increasing range, flexibility and agility; it may also increase vocal endurance as well as prevent muscle cramps or injuries in particular in vocal cord muscles.

Warming up is an integral component of voice therapy. Vocal warm-ups typically consist of techniques such as humming, breathing and vocalization – the goal being retraining one’s voice for easier voicing with improved/balanced oral-nasal resonance; otherwise known as “resonant voice”. Resonant voice describes sensations such as buzz or vibration when making soft voicing movements with ease.

This approach to treatment is frequently employed to address hyperfunctional voice disorders like aphthous ulcers, vocal cord paresis/paralysis and benign mass lesions. Furthermore, it is useful for dealing with hypofunctional voice conditions including recurrent laryngitis and vocal fold nodules.

Evidence-based treatments offer evidence of their efficacy through numerous randomized clinical trials (RCTs). These trials show positive acoustic and perceptual outcomes among patients suffering from dysphonia; furthermore, RCTs demonstrate significant increases in voice-related quality of life for both treated and control groups.

The RTSS-Voice Framework provides a new way of specifying voice treatment protocols. Through six Delphi rounds, measurable targets and ingredients were identified; after which, 10 vocal rehabilitation experts evaluated measurability and uniqueness of each target/ingredient.

The resultant set of standard operational definitions and labels provides the foundation for creating a new standardized language and lexicon for voice therapy, improving communication among clinicians as well as other disciplines (e.g. otolaryngologists and speech pathologists). Researchers can then use this language to investigate effects of specific clinician actions on specific patient functions – potentially revolutionizing current voice research/practice where whole treatment protocols work for some while not others due to unknown reasons; into one that allows clear specification of which clinician action affects which patient functions – creating a system where entire treatment protocols work for some but not others due to unknown reasons into one that allows precise specification of which clinician action affects which patient function(s).

Pitch Variation

Resonant voice therapy techniques involve creating sensations of vibrations anteriorly in front of the mouth. This includes sensations occurring near the alveolar ridge, nose, teeth and lips; combined with easy phonation techniques this produces sound quality which feels minimally effortful and non-strained; sometimes described as having “the sound of an open door”. Resonant voice therapy has been successfully utilized for treating laryngeal nodules, polyps and vocal fry.

Clinicians have employed various techniques to teach the sensation of resonant voice. These include adduction/abduction exercises (Brown 2003), low frequency speech (McClaren 1995), nasal sound production and voice characterization exercises, Lessac-Madsen resonance training as well as developing an easy phonation pattern combining vibratory sensations in the anterior palate.

These methods all begin from the premise that it is possible to train an ideal configuration of vocal folds during vibration, which reflects a functional open voice, by working to produce resonance without exerting unnecessary strain or effort on vocal cords and producing an audible resonant tone. Over time this should lead to spontaneous speech patterns.

Pitch variation is another effective means of teaching the resonant voice, in which patients are asked to produce an unintelligible sound, such as “da,” one step above their baseline pitch for several repetitions before gradually increasing it with feedback provided starting at 100% frequency for every trial, gradually diminishing as soon as 80% accuracy is attained.

Therapists may use phonation templates with specific durations and loudness levels in order to help clients learn how to control their voice during spontaneous conversation. This concept is essential because many patients tend to drop their resonant voices during normal conversation without realizing they can make adjustments themselves – this form of negative practice known as voice lift therapy can be especially effective at this. A clinician should make sure their client is aware when their resonant voices have dropped off during conversation by drawing it out as soon as it occurs and providing reminders when necessary.

Resonance Placement

Resonant voice therapy centers on learning how to place sounds where they can amplify and carry. This is the cornerstone of singing, creating vocal resonance through its interaction with surrounding structures such as tongue, larynx and facial bones. SLPs must provide patients with opportunities for them to practice feeling and locating their voices – beginning with simple sounds such as humming then gradually progressing onto more complicated sounds such as chanting nasal sounds then vocalizing words or sentences.

A 2017 systematic review concluded that Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy significantly improves speech and language disorders, such as muscle tension dysphonia. Lessac-Madsen therapy specifically targets coordination of breathing with phonation for optimal oral-nasal resonance during natural vocalization.

This approach is founded on the theory that increased forward resonance during phonation can reduce strain. This involves increasing vocal fold acoustic vibrations to move more sound energy away from vocal cords into vocal tract and facial areas; and teaching patients how to direct their voice more efficiently for reduced strain in voice quality.

RTSS-Voice does not fully encompass treatments that utilize nonlaryngeal sources of sound (such as tracheoesophageal prostheses, electro-larynges or speaking valves) or those without larynx (such as tracheostomy tubes with associated speaking valves). We anticipate future research will include this additional ingredient into RTSS-Voice.

SLPs may start their treatment by asking patients where they feel their voice. Some will know immediately, while others may need assistance answering this question. An SLP may then explain the various pathways through which sound travels before arriving at their vocal tract.

SLPs can then assist patients to explore how various postures and facial positions affect their sound, such as chin up, chin down and neutral position. Sometimes they will teach a vowel modification exercise or phonation task to demonstrate how the shape of a syllable affects its resonance – this includes vowels such as ah, ay, ee and oh sounds; clinicians then ask the patients to repeat these vowel sounds until one resonates best in their voice.

Negative Practice

Negative practice techniques may be an integral component of resonant voice therapy for some patients. Negative practice is a behavioral treatment which encourages people to perform self-limiting behaviors until successful completion; in doing so, this teaches patients they have control over their own behaviors; for instance, students with bad habits such as tapping pencils during class could use this technique to break these bad habits and change them for good.

Voluntary vocalizations like yelling, glissandos and sirens may be used with this technique to assist patients in finding their normal voices. By increasing oral vibratory sensations they become aware of their volitional control to produce their own resonant voices with volitional control. A clinician guides this technique digitally manipulating laryngeal framework in order to ensure patients produce resonant voices.

Once a clinician has guided their patient through several negative practice sessions, they will introduce voiced sounds into each session. These could include any sound that produces buzzes or increased energy in front of the mouth or face (for instance y-buzz, straw phonation and buzzy /u/). This should make patients comfortable feeling these sensations while starting to relate them back to resonant voice production.

Once the patient is comfortable with this approach, they can progress to practicing resonant voice in phrases and conversations. While this process will take more time and patience from them both, it will help them realize the many ways their resonant voice can enhance their quality of life.

Resonant voice therapy has been shown to significantly increase vocal outcomes; however, its precise ingredients and targets remain elusive. Therefore, the RTSS-Voice uses an innovative combination of taxonomies for voice treatments with Delphi techniques in order to develop expert consensus categories with specific treatment ingredients and targets that may lead to such improvement – known as treatment specification templates – designed to make implementation of voice treatments in clinics more likely.

Rife Therapies For Lyme Disease

Rife machines utilize specific frequencies to disrupt pathogen vibrations and provide noninvasive yet natural therapy for treating Lyme disease.

Each organism and molecule produces its own individual frequency that resonates through its electromagnetic field.

A 52-year old male with metastatic colon cancer successfully underwent an eight month protocol of integrative therapies involving standard anti-angiogenesis treatments, high dose IV herbal and nutrient therapies, targeted EMF/Rife frequency therapies and 4 months of targeted EMF/Rife frequency therapies to achieve substantial tumor response and partial remission.

RIFE Frequency Therapy

At The Boughton Clinic, we’re pleased to be offering Rife Therapy; an electronic device which emits frequencies used to treat various conditions including cancer. Rife produces low energy waves known as radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RFEMFs) from its electrodes which may alter electromagnetic fields around diseased cells so they cannot perform normally and break down naturally into smaller components for elimination by the body – helping its natural healing processes without resorting to surgery or chemotherapy treatments.

The Rife device is inspired by Royal Raymond Rife (1888-1971) who created an advanced microscope capable of magnifying living microorganisms at their highest magnification ever achieved. He discovered that certain microorganisms and disease-causing substances had distinct resonant frequencies which could kill them, so he spent years searching his laboratory for that exact frequency that could effectively eliminate dangerous organisms. He discovered that herpes virus, polio virus, spinal meningitis virus and influenza virus each had its own distinct frequency. By increasing intensity of frequencies that resonated naturally with these organisms, he saw them die through structural stress.

Many websites promote the Rife machine as a cancer cure without offering scientific evidence that this machine actually works. People claiming that Rife machines can cure cancer usually offer personal accounts of how it helped them, without providing scientific proof for such claims.

Rife sessions typically involve the client being seated comfortably on an electrotherapy seat with their feet on footplate electrodes connected to plasma tubes in their hands, receiving frequencies in both normal and radio wave forms for targeted body areas. After such sessions the client often feels extremely tired; to help their body flush away the waste products produced from treatment they should drink plenty of water to flush away waste products more efficiently.

Rife Machine

Royal Rife developed an effective device in the 1920s for killing bacteria and microbes by using specific frequencies that resonated with them. He reasoned that each disease-carrying cell has its own frequency; exposed to it, these cells would be destroyed without harming any healthy ones – thus leading to his famous “universal microscope,” enabling scientists to view viruses and bacteria for the first time ever.

Rife machines provide low energy electromagnetic frequencies in two forms – normal and radio wave – to clients sitting with their feet on footplate electrodes while holding plasma tubes in their hands, so that they may receive them both ways: normal through their feet and radio wave form through their hands.

When used during sessions, a Rife machine emits frequencies programmed by its practitioner to match those emitted by particular pathogenic microbes. Once applied to the body, these frequencies cause disease-carrying cells to vibrate at a lethal frequency and destroy them effectively.

One symptom that may follow using a Rife machine is fatigue similar to having the flu. This is likely caused by your liver and kidneys working to flush away toxins and dead microbes that your Rife sessions help release. Drink plenty of water after each session to aid this process and use frequencies such as Rife’s to balance cells within your body and facilitate detoxification; doing this may strengthen immunity against disease and improve your ability to resist future attack.

Ion Prowave

The Ion Pro Wave is not a Rife machine but does use light frequencies. This unit produces ions in water and utilizes over 700 computer-controlled frequency programs designed to activate processes in your body that support cleansing and germ clearance.

Frequency energy enters through the feet and travels throughout the body in a similar fashion to reflexology and acupuncture, stimulating internal organs, stimulating lymphatic flow, mobilizing toxins from treatment bowls through feet. Ionic foot baths also create beneficial ions which neutralize acid waste such as lactic, carbonic, pyruvic, butyric, and acetic acids within our bodies.

Ionization – The Ion Pro Wave device creates ionization by placing an electrode module in a foot bath that changes the dynamics of water molecules from positive to negative, creating what’s known as “scrubbing action”, drawing toxins out of cells of your body and helping cleanse your system of harmful waste products.

Ionized water passes through an ion generator before being circulated back through to your body for detoxification and elimination of toxins and debris. As different organ systems detoxify, its color may change indicating organ system health or functioning effectively as a diagnostic tool.

Herxheimer Reaction

The Herxheimer Reaction (die-off), is a natural immune response triggered by any protocol which eliminates large numbers of harmful bacteria or microbes at once. As their sudden demise releases toxic waste into the bloodstream, overwhelming detoxification pathways and creating an exaggerated inflammatory reaction similar to flu symptoms – fatigue, joint and muscle aches, fever, chills, anxiety levels rising abruptly and flushed face as symptoms emerge – that lasts several days or weeks depending on its duration.

Herxheimer reactions do not indicate that a treatment is ineffective; rather, they signal the body’s attempt to rid itself of spirochetal infections from infection sites and move toward healing. While Herxheimer reactions can be uncomfortable, they should be expected as part of any successful infection-reversing protocol.

Herxheimer reactions can occur in any treatment that kills or erodes spirochetal bacteria, such as RIFE frequencies, herbal antimicrobials, energy therapies like BEMER, ozone sauna and far-infrared therapy. Symptoms of Herxheimer reactions resemble those experienced with common colds, influenza or bacterial infections and include fatigue, joint and muscle aches, fever, sweats headache rashes anxiety – it may even be difficult to distinguish from an allergic reaction to medications if symptoms include itching hives or rash rashing!

Adolf Jarisch and Karl Herxheimer first noted the Herxheimer reaction while treating patients for syphilis in the late 1800s and early 1900s. These dermatologists observed that many who received mercury or arsenic-based treatments would initially worsen before improving; this phenomenon became known as Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction or simply Herxing.

Herxheimer reactions vary in duration and may last anywhere from one week to multiple months, depending on numerous factors including severity of condition being treated and whether antibiotics are being taken by patient. An extended Herxheimer reaction could potentially damage tissue as endotoxins and cytokines are released, and Dr. Marra chooses her antibiotic dosage so that most cases will only show 5 of 10 severity in her Herxheimer reaction rating scale.

Spiritual Healing and the Remote Healing Surge

Common belief holds that we all possess an energy body, with any disruption causing disease. DH practitioners seek to facilitate the flow of this vital energy.

Physical science suggests there is an upper limit to how much information can be transmitted over long distances using signal-to-noise ratio (impedance matching), which places restrictions on what constitutes healing energy.

Authenticity

Authenticity is one of those Rorschach test-type concepts that has different meanings for different people, yet at its core is about truth and being true to oneself and acting on your own beliefs and values without adapting them to meet other’s expectations. Being authentic means being vulnerable yet courageous while taking risks towards living your desired lifestyle.

At remote healing surge, authenticity means more than being true to oneself; it means being sincere with other people as well. Being genuine means listening when someone shares about their issues or staying focused while they talk even if you do not agree with their viewpoint or perspectives.

Manipulating the Surge of Growth can also be used for other forms of connection, including grounding a Radiant to cause their Stormlight to drain into it as though it were their body, taking on or sharing in magical afflictions or burdens, and (using the Bondsmith Honorblade) breaking Nahel bonds. Numerous scientific studies on humans, simple animals, yeasts and seeds indicate that spiritual healing can successfully treat many conditions like pain, anxiety stress depression AIDS etc.

Confidence

Spiritual healing is founded on the idea that an imbalance or attenuation of body’s vital energy leads to disease and can be restored through distant healing (DH). Practitioners use meditation, mental intent, and prayer in combination with distant healing to facilitate bioenergy flow in clients’ systems of vital energy (SVE).

DH techniques have been successfully utilized in numerous randomized, controlled studies involving simple animals, the biochemistry of bacteria and cells, yeast growth and seeds; yet researchers have been unable to measure SVE energy or components due to resonance between human bodies’ endogenous electromagnetic fields and these fields.

Confidence can be defined as the belief that one will achieve something, whether that means making a sale, winning a competition, or asking out someone special. Other terms to describe this feeling include assurance, self-possession and aplomb – each term denoting different facets. Confidence implies faith in your abilities without hinting of arrogance while assurance implies complete certainty and self-possession while aplomb embodies effortless coolness under pressure situations.

Safety

Many spiritual healing treatments claim to use spiritually charged bioenergy transfers from practitioners to clients at a distance, believing the SVE carries vital information that can promote health or cure disease, with recipients being able to detect and decode this information, producing physical responses such as an electromagnetic field response. There have been multiple experiments performed using humans, animals, simple plants, bacteria yeasts and seeds as test subjects that demonstrate this theory.

Can Sleep Reverse Aging?

As we age, the quality of our sleep gradually diminishes due to hormonal shifts such as menopause when hot flashes and night sweats disrupt restful slumber.

Researchers from UCLA discovered that even one night of poor rest can make your cells age faster, which increases the risk of diseases like multiple sclerosis and heart disease.

1. It Reverses Cellular Aging

Scientists don’t fully understand why humans sleep, but it appears to serve a vital function. One theory suggests that restful sleep allows your body to conserve energy, since no physical activity takes place while sleeping. Another possible explanation for why we sleep could include helping repair and renew cells damaged during daily activity – however this latter theory requires further evidence.

Sleep is widely thought of as necessary to help our bodies fight illness and infection, with its immune system producing cytokines and antibodies to target bacteria and germs while also strengthening natural defences against them. Furthermore, sleeping gives the immune system a chance to remember foreign invaders that might resurface, giving our body the best chance at fighting them off effectively in future encounters.

Studies have revealed that with age comes decreased sleep quality and protein homeostatic maintenance mechanisms that lead to protein homeostasis; possibly explaining why aging often coincides with poorer quality slumber. Therefore, getting ample amounts of quality restful sleep each night is critical in maintaining optimal cellular health and maintaining overall wellness.

Sleep is such an integral component of overall health that when it is taken away, your body immediately reacts by slowing down. This is due to sleep’s role in regulating your circadian rhythm; when your circadian rhythm shifts due to lack of restful slumber, this can trigger adverse health outcomes; for instance, high blood pressure levels and stroke risk increase due to inadequate rest and the amygdala, an area responsible for emotions like fear in your brain becoming reactive and overreacting more readily than usual.

2. It Reverses Memory Loss

Anybody who has had difficulty sleeping knows first-hand the negative impact it can have on memory, but researchers are beginning to comprehend how and why different forms of memory are influenced by sleep; furthermore, they’re discovering methods of undoing some of the damage caused by lack of restful slumber.

Research by UC Berkeley researchers has discovered that deep, non-REM slow-wave sleep can “reset” memory circuits in the brain and make memories more permanent. Participants in the study underwent tests such as memory task and PET scans measuring beta-amyloid accumulation – an associated protein with Alzheimer’s disease – with people getting the most deep slow wave sleep outperforming those who had high beta amyloid levels on frontal cortices but still managed to perform better on memory tests.

This research builds upon previous work which has linked memory loss with specific brain regions that become active during sleep, such as the hippocampus which supports short-term memory storage becoming active at night so as to replay events from the day and transfer them onto long-term memories held within neocortex regions – which in turn forms long-term memories. A decrease in size of hippocampus is often an early indicator of dementia.

Sleep scientists have also discovered that various memory processes are affected by rest, such as recalling declarative (memories of facts) or nondeclarative (emotional) memories. Lack of sleep can contribute to memory problems such as misplacing your keys or forgetting what was taught at school or work.

But new research suggests that sleep may help reverse some of these effects, particularly for people treating sleep apnea. Researchers were able to restore access to mice’s social memories by giving them roflumilast, an FDA-approved treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

3. It Reverses Depression

If you have ever struggled with depression, then you understand how a lack of sleep can alter your emotions. Research indicates that depression itself may lead to issues sleeping; even with medication for depression in place it can be challenging to combat depressive symptoms if sleep problems remain an issue.

Sleep is essential to maintaining brain health, as well as helping combat depression. Studies have demonstrated that when we’re sleep deprived, our brain cannot consolidate memories or process emotions effectively, leading to health complications including an increased risk of suicide. Sleeping better can improve your mood and make you feel more positive about life overall.

Researchers generally acknowledge the close correlation between sleep and mood. Depression can impede one’s ability to get adequate restful slumber, while lack of restfulness contributes to anxiety and depression. Furthermore, research shows a paradoxical connection between the two; an 1882 PNAS study demonstrated how just one night of partial sleep deprivation led to rapid and significant relief of symptoms of depression.

Though its exact mechanism remains unknown, scientists believe the antidepressant effects of sleep could be related to an increase in synaptic plasticity in the prefrontal cortex. When asleep, neurons form small protrusions called dendritic spines that change their shape depending on neural activity; disrupting them using genetic tools reversed its antidepressant effects and reversed sleep deprivation’s antidepressant benefits.

Although more research needs to be conducted, it appears that sleep can have antidepressant effects due to an increase in dopamine release – known for encouraging positive attitudes and helping overcome mood disorders like depression.

4. It Reverses Anxiety

Sleep has long been considered an antidote to emotional pain and William Shakespeare described it as the cure-all solution. A good night of restorative slumber helps balance out emotions while an interrupted rest may cause 30% more anxiety than usual. Researchers from UC Berkeley have revealed that deep non-rapid eye movement slow-wave sleep is the most restorative form of restful rest, helping reset brain processes while simultaneously lowering heart rates and blood pressure. At this stage, neural oscillations become tightly synchronized and emotional centers in the brain become subdued, making sleep deprivation an aggravating factor for anxiety as well as leading to long-term health consequences such as cardiovascular problems, weakened immune systems, obesity and type II diabetes, poor memory performance and impaired thinking abilities.

In a series of experiments conducted by the team, 18 healthy young adults watched emotionally stirring video clips immediately following both a good night’s rest and poor night’s rest, before and after they experienced poor sleeping conditions. Their research team discovered that after poor restful sleeping environments caused medial prefrontal cortex activity to reduce while deeper emotional centers became overactive; on the contrary, after good restful sleeping conditions this response decreased and deeper emotional centers increased activity levels significantly more.

The team’s findings constitute one of the strongest neuronal links between sleep and anxiety to date, providing convincing evidence that deep sleep acts as a natural anxiolytic provided enough time is given for it. Furthermore, emerging positron emission tomography research shows specific neurotransmitter systems governing sleep-wake regulation–such as adenosine, melatonin, norepinephrine, and GABA–are involved with anxiety as well. Dysfunctional pathways related to anxiety disorders may contribute to insomnia as well as increasing symptoms while insomnia will only exacerbate anxiety symptoms further compound anxiety symptoms further; therefore breaking this anxiety-sleep cycle can be challenging at best.

5. It Reverses Obesity

Lack of sleep is linked to various health conditions. Lack of restful slumber has been linked to high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, diabetes and depression – yet researchers are only now beginning to comprehend its importance for the human body. Sleep may provide growth and healing as well as metabolic function maintenance and defense against illness as well as mood regulation.

Sleep deprivation can lead to behavioral issues, including overeating and weight gain, because it triggers production of ghrelin – a hunger stimulating hormone – while decreasing production of leptin (a signal of fullness). Research also shows that being sleep deprived makes people less motivated to exercise or consume healthy foods.

Studies have shown that regular sleep discontinuity increases risk for transitioning from overweight to obesity and reduces likelihood of transition back from obese back to non-obese status. Researchers concluded that increasing their sleeping time helped their bodies more efficiently regulate energy homeostasis.

There are numerous strategies for improving sleep, such as sleeping in a dark room, going to bed early and exercising regularly. But the most essential step is prioritizing sleep – increasing its duration can reverse some of the negative effects of aging on both your body and mind, leading to greater happiness and improved health – helping combat obesity epidemic through sufficient restful slumber! Taking steps to enhance your rest can reverse signs of aging while also helping prevent weight gain while decreasing risk factors for heart disease or other chronic illnesses.
